Burn Procedure Pictorial Overview
For this wood stove to burn correctly it must be brought up to temperature, This allows the combustor to operate
properly and transfer more heat into the home. By following the steps below you should be able to start and
maintain a long-lasting, low-burn fire . Use the pictures to help validate your burn process.
Crumple 6 to 8 full pieces of newspaper and place
them in the center of the firebox. Stack 10 to 20 pieces of kindling on top of the newspaper
in a criss cross pattern to allow plenty of air flow.
With the bypass and air control open, light the
newspaper and partially close the doors (leave the
doors open 1/4" for the first 2 to 3 minutes of startup). Allow the kindling to burn approximately 5 minutes.
Flatten the coal bed with the included poker and load 10
to 15 pieces of medium size wood.
The 10 to 15 pieces of medium size wood will fill the
stove approximately 3/4 full. The reason for using
medium size pieces of wood is to acquire a coal bed as
soon as possible. Let the stove burn with the bypass and air control open for
about 45 minutes to establish a good coal bed (3” to 4”).
