Pro-Series Inserts
LONG BURNING PROCEDURES
To obtain maximum burn times between 10 – 14 hours, it is important to have
the firebox and catalyst up to temperature (beyond 500º F, 260º C), after the
firebox is fully loaded. Only then should the bypass damper and draft control be
closed for the long burn.

Applicable for the following units:

CI2600 & HI400
Pro-Series wood burning is a
diff erent technology compared to
regular non-catalytic inserts. With
their new hybrid technology ProSeries units are highly effi cient,
long burning appliances.
Understanding the Pro-Series
technology and recommended
wood burning process will help
you achieve extended burn
times and use less wood over the
heating season.
TECHNOLOGY
Regency Pro-Series units run on
a hybrid catalytic system called
Eco-Boost™ technology. This hybrid
system allows the fuel to burn at a
slower rate utilizing its full potential.

4) Once the fire becomes established
add large logs to the firebox until it is
fully loaded. Typically, after 20-30 minutes
you should be able to close the bypass
damper as temperatures will have
reached the “active” zone (beyond 500º F,
260º C).

1) With the unit and chimney now up to
operational temperature the reloading
process will require less time. At the end
of the burn cycle and to restart the unit,
open the door and spread the coals out
with a poker.
2) Then add some kindling or medium
sized logs. The wood will light up almost
immediately. Follow from STEP 4 above
to get your fi re back up and fi rebox fully
loaded, for your next long burn.
DRAFT
CONTROL
Always leave a minimum 1-2 inches of ash. This will insulate the rebox base and
maintain a higher temperature bed of hot coals and embers for a cleaner, longer burn.

Maintaining a desired long burn and

use or while away from the home.
Less frequently; 2-3 times per day
depending on desired heat output
Lower flame height; surface of wood
appears as white ash; fuel ‘bakes’; logs

WOOD SIZE GUIDE
FOR BEST RESULTS:
• Use soft wood for Kindling and Medium split logs for a fast burn
• Use seasoned hard wood Large logs for a long burn
(moisture content should be 20% or less)
Kindling Medium Large
WHEN RELOADING:
Each time you load fresh wood into the firebox, it is important to rst fully open the bypass damper and the
draft control to prevent smoke from rolling out.
Since reloading causes the unit to drop in temperature allow it to run for 10-15 minutes before closing the
bypass, and a further 10-15 minutes before closing the draft control.
DID YOU KNOW?
Hardwood will burn for
longer than the equivalent
amount of softwood.

SAFE REMOVAL OF ASHES
Always assume ashes are
still hot, use a steel bucket
for disposal.
