minutes at this maximum air setting to guarantee the new load of fuel has fully ignited. Once the fuel is burn- ing steadily, you may adjust the primary air supply to provide the desired heat output.

DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER. Overfiring can result in permanent damage to the stove. If an exterior part of the stove or the chimney connector glows, you are overfiring.

Reloading and Reviving a Wood Fire

Reload your stove while it is still hot and there are plenty of embers to re-kindle the fire quickly. Include some smaller pieces of wood in the new load of fuel to help the stove regain high temperatures quickly.

Follow this procedure when you reload your stove:

•Open the damper and move the primary air lever to the “HIGH” position.

•Open the front door and check the ash level on the grates and in the ash pan. Clear excess ash from the grates, particularly at the rear area. Level the ember bed. Empty the ash pan if necessary.

•Replace the ash pan and close the front door.

•Load wood, smaller pieces first, and close the load- ing door.

NOTE: If the ember bed has burned down to the extent the fire cannot be revived easily, it may be necessary to set the air control to the “Start-up” position until the fire has been re-established.

•Allow the stove to regain its “thermal momentum” before closing the damper. This may take 15 - 20 minutes, and will be confirmed by a temperature on the griddle of at least 500°F (260°C).

•Close the damper, and set the primary air lever for the desired heat output.

NOTE: If the remaining charcoal bed is relatively thick and if your fuel is well seasoned, it is possible to add fresh fuel (smaller pieces first), close the door and damper, and reset the primary air within 5 minutes.

A Surface Thermometer is a

Guide to Performance

Until you are familiar with how your stove works, moni- tor the griddle surface temperature frequently. Use these temperature ranges as general indicators of heat output:

Low to medium

350-500°F (177-260°C)

Medium

500-600°F (260-318°C)

High

600-750°F (318-399°C)

Continuous operation at griddle temperatures higher than 750°F (399°C) may damage the cast iron parts or the porcelain enamel finish of your Resolute Acclaim.

A surface thermometer can also tell you when to adjust the controls and when to refuel the stove. (Fig. 31)

During start-up and after re-loading, for example, a thermometer reading of at least 500°F (260°C) signals the stove is hot enough to close the damper and shift into the high-efficiency mode.

Readings lower than 350°F (177°C) announce the stove needs loading or it is time to increase the air sup- ply for a higher burn rate.

At the other exteme, a temperature over 750°F (399°C) is a warning to slow the burn rate.
