3.Open the draft control fully by moving the lever to the right (HIGH setting).

5.To maintain a brisk fire, a hot coal bed must be estab- lished and maintained.
6.Slowly add larger wood (2x4 size pieces). Lay the pieces lengthwise from side to side in the hot coal bed with a shallow trench between, so that the primary air can flow directly into this trench and ignite the fuel above.
7.When the fire seems to be at its peak, medium sized logs may be added. Once these logs have caught fire, carefully close the door.
Closing the door too quickly after refueling will reduce the firebox temperature and may result in an unsatisfactory burn.
