Air Controls

 

 

Coal

 

 

The primary air control for coal burning is a knob

 

located on the bottom door. Sliding the knob to the left pro-

 

vides less air for a smaller fire. Sliding the knob to the right

 

provides more air for a larger fire.When burning wood this

 

knob should be all the way to the left, closed.

The primary air controls for wood burning are lo-

cated on each side as shown below and on page 4. Both con-

trols should be adjusted equally. Air from these controls also

 

 

provides a curtain of air across the glass to keep it clean.

 

Move the controls down for less heat and up for more heat.

 

When burning coal these controls should be in the down posi-

 

tion. CAUTION: The wood controls are hot. Use the

 

removable shaker handle or gloves to adjust these con-

 

trols.

 

 

Coal must have air coming up through the coal bed in

 

order to burn. Some air over the top of the coal helps burn

 

gases. A small amount of air enters the top of the coal fire

 

when the wood controls are in the down position.

 

 

Wood burns with top or bottom air; however, top air

 

coming down across the glass to form an air curtain works

 

best and keeps the glass clean.

 

 

This is why it is recommended that the coal control be

 

positioned to the left for wood burning.

 

Building and

Maintaining a Wood Fire

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,

kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such

liquids well away from the heater while it is in use

.

Crumple up six to eight sheets of news paper and place in the firebox. Next place pieces of dry wood 3/4 inch maxi- mum diameter on top of the paper, Next place several 1 " - 2" split pieces of dry wood on top, followed by a few 2" - 3" split pieces. Set the wood air controls at the maximum heat output setting, all the way up. Place the knob on the bottom door to the left. These settings will allow the glass to stay clean as you build your fire. The coal knob may be moved to the right to speed the ignition process but the glass may get dirty.

Ignite the paper and allow the fire to burn until a good charcoal bed, 2" - 3" (50 mm - 80 mm) is formed; (You may need to leave the ash door open a crack to get the blaze going properly, but never leave the stove unattended.) Add more wood to create a deeper charcoal base 3" to 4".

Once the charcoal bed is established you may add a full
