Cape Cod Wood Stove

OPERATION

AIR CONTROLS

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 secondary, tertiary and quaternary combustions.

The primary air slide control is located at the front of the stove, beneath the ash catcher. Sliding the control towards your left opens the control allowing more air to reach the fire. Sliding it to your right closes the control.

START-UP AIR SYSTEM

The start-up combustion air enters at the rear of the firebox through the rear air tubes. To start your fire, push control in. After 5 to 15 minutes, when fire is well established, pull control out.

The start-up control is located on the right side of the stove. It is used only during the kindling stage of the burn and should be closed (pulled out) for lower burns.

OPACITY: This helps to determine how cleanly your stove is burning. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by the smoke column from a chimney, and 0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen. As you become familiar with your stove, you should periodically check the opacity of the smoke column emitted from your chimney. This will allow you to know how to burn your stove as nearly smoke-free as possible (aim for a goal of 0% opacity).

BURN RATES

HIGH: Start fire with both controls fully open. Close start-up control after approximately 5 to 15 minutes, when fire is established. Leave primary air in fully open position (slide control to far left side).

MEDIUM: After a wood load has been burning on high for at least 15 minutes (longer for very large pieces of wood), close the primary control by sliding it to the right. The start-up control should be closed (pulled out) after approximately 5 to 15 minutes.

LOW: After a wood load has been burning on high for at least 15 minutes (longer for very large pieces of wood), gradually close the primary control sliding it to the right ensuring that flames in the stove are maintained. It is very important to maintain flames in your stove during the first few hours of a low burn, to avoid excessive air pollution.
