BUILDING YOUR FIRST FIRE

Once you understand the controls of your wood stove and have chosen the appropriate firewood, you are ready to start a fire.

When you light your first fires, the wood stove will emit some smoke and fumes. This is normal “off-gassing” of the paints and oils used when manufacturing the wood stove. If you find it necessary, open a few windows to vent your room. The smoke and fumes will usually subside after 10 to 20 minutes of operation. The odor and smoke will end once the stove is “cured”.

The first fires may produce other odors from impurities that exist in the area immediately surrounding the stove. Some of these impurities can be cleaning solvents, paint solvents, cigarettes, smoke, pet hair, dust, adhesives, a new carpet, and new textiles. These odors will dissipate over time. You can alleviate these odors by opening a few windows or otherwise creating additional ventilation around your stove.

BUILDING A FIRE

1.Open the door and place five or six double sheets of tightly twisted newspaper in the center of the firebox. Arrange kindling in a crisscross pattern over the newspaper. Kindling should be approximately ten pieces, 1/2" (13 mm) in diameter and 10" to 17" (254 to 431 mm) long.

2.Open the flue bypass system by pulling the handle out completely. (as described on page 18)

3.Fully open the primary air control by pushing the lever toward the left of the stove.

4.Light the paper under the kindling. Leave the door slightly ajar momentarily until the kindling has started to burn and draft begins to pull.

5.Close the door and allow the fire to burn.

6.Once the kindling is burning, open the door and add logs, small at first, to build the fire up. Otherwise, keep the fuel loading door and ash door closed while the stove is in use.

with the bypass closed!

7.Close the bypass system by pushing the handle all the way in.

8.Once the fire is burning well, use the primary air control to regulate the desired rate of burn. Pushing the lever to the left of the stove opens the PRIMARY AIR CONTROL for a high rate of burn or pushing it to the right of the stove for a low rate of burn.

9.The flue bypass is used to control the cook top and oven temperature.

Note: When opening the door to reload or re-arrange logs, it is advisable to open the door just a crack, pause for a moment, then open the door completely. This procedure will allow the firebox to clear of smoke before the door is opened fully.

You must open the flue bypass system prior to opening your fuel loading door. Also, reloading on a bed of hot, red coals reduces smoking time and will bring fresh fuel up to a high temperature rapidly.
