Clean the Griddle Before Use
At the factory we coat the griddle with vegetable oil to
prevent rusting while the stove is in transit and storage.
Remove the oil with a dry rag or paper towel before you
use the stove.
Set Up the Stove
Remove the griddle, front grate bar, the bottom grate,
the side bricks, and the ash pan from inside the stove.
Place a protective pad on the floor, arrange some sec-
tions of 4 x 4 lumber on the pad for support, and care-
fully tip the stove back onto them.
Remove and discard the four large slot-head screws
from the stove bottom (Fig. 12) and install the stove
legs, using the hex head bolts from the parts bag.
Use 11 mm (3/8”) washers with three of the legs; the
door/damper handle holder installs in place of a washer
on the right front leg. Position the holder so the hole to
accept the handle nub faces out from the right side of
the stove. Tighten the bolts firmly.

Install the Bottom Heat Shield
To install the bottom heat shield, loosen the leg bolts,
and slip the bottom heat shield C-clips onto the bolts.
Orient the heat shield so that the longest 273 mm /
10³⁄₄”) edge is at the front of the stove. (Fig. 13) Attach
the heat shield to the C-clips with the wing nuts and
then tighten the leg bolts.
Storing the Handle
Use the removable handle to open or close the front
doors, or to change the position of the damper. After
use, remove the handle so it will not get hot, and store it
in the handle holder installed behind the right front leg.

Reversing the Flue Collar
You can reverse the flue collar by removing the two
screws that attach the collar to the back of the stove, as
in Figure 15. Be sure the gasket around the flue collar
opening is in position when you screw the collar back
on to the stove.
