Operational Tips For The Best Performance Of Your Heater
BUILDING A FIRE
The top down method of re building is recommended for this appliance. Place the largest pieces of wood
on the bottom, laid in parallel and close together. Smaller pieces are placed in a second layer, crossways to
the rst. A third layer of still smaller pieces is laid crossways to the second, this time with some spaces between.
Then a fourth layer of loose, small kindling and twisted newspaper sheets tops off the pile.
VISIBLE SMOKE
Visible smoke is basically unburned fuel and moisture leaving your stove. The amount of visible smoke being
produced can be an effective method of determining how efciently the combustion process is taking place
at the given settings. Learn to adjust the air settings of your specic unit to produce the smallest amount of
visible smoke. Remember that wood that has not been seasoned properly and has a high wood moisture
content will produce excess visible smoke and burn poorly.
ASH REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your rebox or ash pan, and when the re has burned down and
cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the rebox bottom to help
maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-tting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a noncombustible oor or on the ground, away from all combustible materials, pending nal
disposal. The ashes should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
AIR TUBES
The air tubes assembled in this unit are designed to provide an accurate mix of secondary air to insure the
highest efciency. Any damage or deterioration of these tubes may reduce the efciency of combustion. The
air tubes are held in position by either screws or snap pins. Locate these to either side of the tube and remove
to allow the tube to be removed and replaced.
OVER FIRING
Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specications can result in permanent
damage to the heater and to the catalytic combustor if so equipped.
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in
your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other
factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may damage the catalytic
combustor (if equipped). Inadequate draft may cause backpufng into the room and ‘plugging’ of the
chimney or the catalyst (if equipped). Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room
through appliance and chimney connector joints. An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates
excessive draft.

CHIMNEY
Take into account the chimney’s location to insure it is not too close to neighbors or in a valley which may
cause unhealthy or nuisance conditions.
EFFICIENCY
Efciencies can be based on either the lower heating value (LHV) or the higher heating value (HHV) of
the fuel. The lower heating value is when water leaves the combustion process as a vapor, in the case of
woodstoves the moisture in the wood being burned leaves the stove as a vapor. The higher heating value
is when water leaves the combustion process completely condensed. In the case of woodstoves this would
assume the exhaust gases are room temperature when leaving the system, and therefore calculations using
this heating value consider the heat going up the chimney as lost energy. Therefore, efciency calculated
using the lower heating value of wood will be higher than efciency calculated using the higher heating
value. In the United States all woodstove efciencies should be calculated using the higher heating value.
As an operator of a wood heater the best way to achieve optimum efciencies is to learn the burn
characteristic of you appliance and burn well-seasoned wood. A good rule of thumb is that your heater is
not producing or producing very little visible smoke it is burning efciently. Also remember that higher burn
rates are not always the best heating burn rates; after a good re is established a lower burn rate may be a
better option for efcient heating. A lower burn rate slows the ow of usable heat out of the home through
the chimney, and it also consumes less wood.
SMOKE AND CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon monoxide(CO) emissions. CO is a poisonous gas when
exposed to elevated concentrations for extended periods of time. While the modern combustion systems in
heaters drastically reduce the amount of CO emitted out the chimney, exposure to the gases in closed or
conned areas can be dangerous. Also make sure you stove gaskets and chimney joints are in good working
order and sealing properly to ensure unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use both smoke and
CO monitors in areas expected to or having the potential to generate CO.
OPERATIONAL TIPS FOR GOOD, EFFICIENT, AND CLEAN COMBUSTION
• Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and a high burn rate to increase the stove temperature
• Be considerate of the environment and only burn dry wood
• Burn small, intense res instead of large, slow burning res when possible
• Learn your appliance's operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance
• Burning unseasoned wet wood only hurts your stoves efciency and leads to accelerated creosote
buildup in your chimney
WOOD SELECTION TIPS
Dead wood lying on the forest oor should be considered wet, and requires full seasoning time. Standing
dead wood can usually be considered to be about 2/3 seasoned. Splitting and stacking wood before it is
stored accelerates drying time. Storing wood on an elevated surface from the ground and under a cover or
covered area from rain or snow also accelerates drying time. A good indicator if wood is ready to burn is to
check the piece ends. If there are cracks radiating in all directions from the center then the wood should be
dry enough to burn. If your wood sizzles in the re, even though the surface is dry, it may not be fully cured,
and should be seasoned longer.

HEATER/FLOOR PROTECTOR LOCATION
(Dimensions are required for nonprotected surfaces. See chart for
dimensions for protected surfaces.)
Place the heater on solid masonry or solid concrete. When the heater is used on a combustible oor, use an
Underwriters Listed oor protector. The oor protector must comply with UL Standards (USA) and CAN/ULC
(Canada) and have an R-value of 2.06. The oor protector needs to extend at least 16" beyond the door side
of the heater and 8" to each side. It should also extend 8" beyond the rear for Canada. The oor protector
needs to extend 2" beyond each side of the ue pipe if it is elbowed towards a wall as well as 2" on each side
of the ue for horizontal runs.
1. After consulting the installation instructions for minimum clearances to combustibles, locate your oor
protector accordingly and carefully place the stove in your selected location. Install stove pipe, elbows
and thimble as necessary, utilizing either a recently cleaned and inspected masonry chimney (properly
lined) or a UL, ULC Listed chimney. Insure that the damper provided is installed in the ue collar.
2. Again, check the following illustrations and be sure you have the clearances shown from the heater and
the connector pipe to combustible surfaces. If you have a solid brick or stone wall behind your heater,
please consult your local building code for specic regulations that may apply in your area. However, if
the wall is only faced with brick or stone, consider it a combustible wall. To reduce ue clearances from
combustible materials, contact your local safety department.
3. If your chimney drafts excessively, purchase and use a Barometric Draft Regulator (DR6 available from
factory).
