Door Seal
! Air leaks into the firebox will decrease the
stove's performance greatly, leading to
excessive sooting, inefficient burning,
and perhaps a malfunction.
• The door gasket must contact the entire
perimeter of the door and create an air-
tight seal. To verify this, open the door,
hold a dollar bill against the body of the
heater, close the door, and secure the
latch. The dollar bill should be held firmly
in place (check the entire perimeter of the
door. If it is loose or falls out, the door
must be adjusted (see the following
page).
Door Alignment
Because the door is three-sided, it is
crucial the door is aligned correctly.
We recommend that you open the
hopper lid and look down upon the
door and body of the heater. Use the
illustration to the right to determine
the correct door alignment.
Correctly Aligned Door
When properly adjusted, the door should be evenly
spaced from the front of the stove (and shut tight,
compressing the gasket).
