3. Final Stage
The fi nal stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This occurs when the fl ammable gases have been mostly burned and only charcoal remains. This is a naturally clean portion of the burn. The coals burn with hot blue fl ames.
•It is very important to reload your appliance while enough lively hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of heat needed to dry and rekindle the next load of wood.
•It is best to open the Primary Air Slide Control and the
•Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit ap- pliance through opening.
•Break up any large chunks and distribute the coals so that the new wood is laid on hot coals.
Air quality is important to all of us, and if we choose to use wood to heat our homes we should do so responsibly.
We need to learn to burn in the cleanest way possible al- lowing us to continue using our wood appliances for many years to come.

E. Air Controls
Start-Up Air System
The combustion air enters at the rear of the fi rebox through the rear air tubes. This air supply is controlled by the Start- up Air Control. For more air push control in, for less air pull control out.
Primary Air System
The primary air enters below the ash catcher and is directed to the upper front of the fi rebox, near the top of the glass door and to the lower front of fi rebox. This preheated air sup- plies the necessary fresh oxygen to mix with the unburned gases, helping to create secondary, tertiary and quaternary combustions. This air is regulated by the Primary Air Slide Control. For more primary air slide control left, for less air, slide control to the right.
