G. Building A Fire

Before lighting your first fire in the stove:

1.Confirm the baffle is correctly positioned. It should be even with the front tube and resting on all tubes. Figure 23.1.

2.Remove all labels from glass.

There are many ways to build a fire. The basic principle is to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites the fast burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow-burning firewood. Here is one method that works well:

1.Open the Burn Rate Air and Start-Up Air Controls fully.

2.Place several wads of crushed paper on the firebox floor. Heating the flue with slightly crumpled newspaper before adding kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.

3.Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.

4.Make sure that no matches or other combustibles are in the immediate area of the appliance. Be sure the room is adequately ventilated and the flue unobstructed.

5.Light the paper in the appliance. NEVER light or rekindle fire with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter fluid; the results can be fatal.

6.Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full- length logs 3 inches (76mm) or 4 inches (102mm) in diameter. Be careful not to smother the fire. Stack the pieces of wood carefully; near enough to keep each other hot, but far enough away from each other to allow adequate air flow between them.

7.Set the Burn Rate Air Control and activate the timer system (ACC).

8.When ready to reload, It is best to fully open both the Burn Rate Air and Start-up Air Controls before reload- ing. This livens up the coalbed and reduces excessive emissions (opacity/smoke). Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit appliance through opening. Large logs burn slowly, holding a fire longer. Small logs burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.

9.As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 6 through 8 will maintain a continuous fire throughout the season.

NOTE:

•Build fire on brick firebox floor.

•Do NOT use grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel.

It will adversely affect emissions.
