Starting a Fire

Since the dawn of time man has debated the best way to start a fire. Some use the boy-scout "tee-pee", some prefer the "tic-tac-toe" stack. Either way, review the hints and warnings below to ensure proper fire starting.

•Make sure the air control and is pulled out. If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4" during the first five minutes of start-up.

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or "freshen up" a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.

If using a firestarter, use only products specifically designed for stoves - follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

If the smoke does not pass up the chimney, ball up one sheet of newspaper, place it in the center of the firebox and light it. This should start the chimney drafting (this eliminates "cold air blockage").

Use plenty of kindling to ensure the stove reaches a proper temperature. Once the kindling is burning rapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood onto the fire.

Starting a “Top-Down Fire”

One particularly successful method for starting a fire is to stack several large pieces of wood in the center of the stove (see the illustration to the right). Then place a several wads of newspaper in the center with kindling on top. When you light the newspaper this “top-down” fire will burn its way to the center, igniting the larger pieces. With some practice, this method should work for you.
