Yosemite Wood Stove

FINAL STAGE

The final stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This occurs when the flammable gases have been mostly burned and only charcoal remains. This is a naturally clean portion of the burn. The coals burn with hot blue flames.

It is very important to reload your stove 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 air controls for a short while before reloading. This livens up the coal bed. Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit stove through opening. You should also break up any large chunks and distribute the coals evenly 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. To do this we need to learn to burn our stoves in the cleanest way possible. Doing this will allow us to continue using our wood stoves for many years to come.

AIR CONTROLS

START-UP AIR SYSTEM

The combustion air enters at the rear of the firebox 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. See Figure 19A.

PRIMARY AIR SYSTEM

The primary air enters below the ash catcher and is directed to the upper front of the firebox, near the top of the glass door and to the lower front of firebox. This preheated air supplies the necessary fresh oxygen to mix with the unburned gases, helping to create second, third and fourth combustions. This air is regulated by the Primary Air Control. For more primary air push control IN, for less air pull control OUT.
