This stove is designed to burn
WOOD FUEL ONLY!
Hardwood, 16” to 18” should be split and air dried
(seasoned), for 6 months to obtain maximum burning
efficiency. Wood should be stored in a dry, well venti-
lated area.
NOTICE: USE SOLID WOOD MATERIALS ONLY.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE
FLUIDS. DO NOT BURN COAL AS THIS STOVE
IS NOT DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE THE AIR
FLOW (DRAFT) NECESSARY TO PROPERLY
BURN COAL OR COAL PRODUCTS. DO NOT
ELEVATE FIRE OR USE GRATES OR AND-
IRONS. BUILD FIRE DIRECTLY ON BOTTOM
OF FIREBOX.
BUILDING A FIRE
1. Open air inlet control fully.
2. Open the feed door and place several wads of
crushed paper in the firebox.
3. Cover the paper with a generous amount of kin-
dling in a teepee fashion and a few small pieces of
wood.
4. Ignite the paper and leave the door open slightly.
DO NOT LEAVE STOVE UNATTENDED WITH
DOOR OPEN!
5. Add large pieces of wood as the fire progresses
being careful not to overload. (Do not fill firebox
beyond firebrick area.) An ideal coal bed of 1 –2”
should be established t achieve optimum perfor-
mance.
6. This unit is designed to function most effectively
when air is allowed to circulate to all areas of the
firebox. An idea; rake a slight (1˝ to 2˝ wide) trough
in the center of the coal bed from front to back prior
to loading the fuel.
