• Before beginning your installation, consult with your local building code agency or fi re offi cials and
insurance representative to ensure compliance.

• Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint curing process, to help dissipate the smoke open a
window near the appliance.

• Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appliance before fi ring the appliance as the paint will be-
come soft as the appliance heats up and will harden as the appliance cures. To cure the paint on your
appliance burn your appliance moderately hot during the fi rst few fi res.

• To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance as the paint is curing, periodically open the door
every 5-10 minutes.

• For the fi rst two weeks use generous amounts of fuel and burn the appliance with the damper wide
open for an hour as the appliance goes through a process of eliminating moisture in the steel and fi re-
bricks. The initial heat output will be reduced while the moisture is bring drawn from the appliance and
it will be necessary to build several hot fi res to remove this moisture. DURING THIS PROCESS DO

NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE APPLI­ANCE IF THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.

2.4 GENERAL INFORMATION

Your appliance was specifi cally designed to meet the 1990 U.S.A. EPA particulate emission standards and
have been extensively tested in Canadian and American laboratories. This system is the most effi cient, simple
and trouble free we know and works as follows:

Y our appliance is the exact duplication of the clean-burning technology found in all T imberwolf® EPA certifi ed free-
standing stoves. External modifi cations have been made to allow its installation as a “functional insert” with a heat
circulating blower system and a means of enclosing the solid fuel burning fi replace cavity for greater heating effi ciency.

Y our appliance must be installed only into a solid fuel burning fi replace that is at least 14” deep 25 7/8” wide and 22”
high with an approved lined chimney at least 15 feet high (4.6m) and a hearth of 18”. This minimum recess can only be
achieved if the opening height is suffi cient enough to allow the connector to fi t under the noncombustible facing. The
appliance and chimney must be constructed in accordance with all national and local building code standards.

The chimney vent system used on your wood burning appliance should be designed with the least amount of
restriction possible to enable the exhaust products to easily fl ow through it. Chimney vent systems that are too
short or too long can also have an adverse affect on the fl ow of exhaust through it. The wood burning appliance
and chimney vent system also require a suffi cient supply of combustion air not only to support the combustion in the
combustion chamber but to replace the exhaust leaving it so it can fl ow freely up through the vent system and out
into the atmosphere. It is the correct balance of combustion air and the chim­ney vent system that will ensure the appliance provides you with its optimum
performance.

AIR INLET PATH
EXHAUST PATH

Secondary air from the rear intake opening travels up the back in the second­ary air housing to the manifold located across the top and fl ows out laterally to
oxidize the gases below the smoke exit.

The lower combustion chamber is lined with high temperature fi rebricks on
2 sides, the back and across the bottom, with a layer of fi bre baffl es at the
top to maintain a high temperature in the combustion chamber so that gases
mixing with the preheated air from the secondary air manifold tube are easily
ignited and burned. The appliance sides and back are shielded to direct the
heat upwards and forwards into the room.

Be sure to provide suffi cient combustion air. There are many other ap-
pliances in your home competing for air such as: a kitchen range hood,
forced air heating devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.

W415-0890 / A / 04.28.10

We suggest that our woodburning hearth products
be installed and serviced by professionals who are
certified in the U.S. by the National Fireplace
Institue® (NFI) as NFI Woodburning Specialists or
who are certified in Canada by
Wood Energy Technical
Training (WETT).

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance

may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on the fi rebox burning off. Open a
window to suffi ciently ventilate the room.

CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:

Use of this product may produce smoke which contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

If you experience smoking problems, you may need to open a door, a window or otherwise provide some
method of supplying combustion air to the appliance.

THE OUTSIDE AIR INLET MUST REMAIN CLEAR OF LEAVES, DEBRIS ICE AND/OR SNOW. IT MUST BE UNRE-

STRICTED WHILE APPLIANCE IS IN USE TO PREVENT ROOM AIR STARVATION WHICH CAN CAUSE SMOKE SPILL-

AGE AND AN INABILITY TO MAINTAIN A FIRE. SMOKE SPILLAGE CAN ALSO SET OFF SMOKE ALARMS.

NEGATIVE PRESSURE WITHIN YOUR HOME MAY INADVERTENTLY AFFECT YOUR APPLIANCE.

!

WARNING

HAZARDOUS.

TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH SAGGING OR LOOSE INSULATION, THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE INSTALLED

AGAINST VAPOUR BARRIERS OR EXPOSED INSULATION. LOCALIZED OVERHEATING COULD OCCUR AND A FIRE

COULD RESULT.

DO NOT USE MAKESHIFT COMPROMISES DURING INSTALLATION. DO NOT BLOCK OR RESTRICT AIR, GRILLE OR

LOUVRE OPENINGS. DO NOT ADD A HOOD.

KEEP HAND TOOLS IN GOOD CONDITION, SHARPEN CUTTING EDGES AND MAKE SURE TOOL HANDLES ARE

SECURE.

ALWAYS MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM AIR SPACE REQUIRED TO THE ENCLOSURE TO PREVENT FIRES.

68.3A

It is extremely important that your appliance be installed according to the manufacturer's specifi cations. The
manufacturer's installation instructions and specifi ed clearances should always be followed in accordance with
local and national codes. In Canada the CSA B365 and the CSA C22.1 installation codes are to be followed. In
the USA the ANSI NFPA 70 and ANSI NFPA 211 installation codes are to be followed.

Chimney and liner must be in good condition and kept clean.

W415-0890 / A / 04.28.10

4.1 TYPICAL EXISTING MASONRY

You can install your appliance using your existing masonry chimney. To do
so, follow the guidelines below. If you are using a masonry chimney, it
is important that it be built in compliance with the specifi cations of the
Building Code in your region. It must normally be lined with fi re clay
bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with fi re cement. (Round
fl ues are the most effi cient).

A. Remove the fi replace damper or fasten it permanently open.

* We recommend the following method of sealing off the damper area around the liner.
B. * Measure the throat of the fi replace and mark this shape on a piece of 24 gauge sheet metal (fl ue

cover); cut a six-inch (6.75”) hole to lie directly below the fi replace fl ue opening. Allow two inches of
material for a fl ange on all sides and cut to these measurements. Bend down the fl anges. If you have
never done this before, it might be a good idea to make a cardboard pattern and test it fi rst. Fasten this

fl ue cover in position as high as possible with two masonry screws per side through the fl anges into the
fi replace.

In Canada: Install a listed 6 inch diameter fl exible stainless steel liner from the top of the chimney to the insert
fl ue collar. Attach a stainless steel liner connector or elbow to the liner and insert onto the fl ue collar. Fasten with

three screws. Secure the top of the liner to the chimney cap using a liner support and chimney fl ashing. Cap the
top of the chimney liner assembly using an approved rain cap.

In the United States: While it is not required, it is recommended that a chimney liner be installed that is continu­ous from the insert to the top of the chimney , particularly when the insert is installed in a basement. For this type
of connection, use the “In Canada” installation instructions above.
If a continuous liner is not installed, a “direct fl ue connection” must be made. The direct fl ue connection requires a
non-combustible connector that extends from the insert into the chimney fl ue liner and also that the installed fl ue
cover be sealed below the entry point of the connector to prevent dilution of combustion products in the chimney
fl ue with air from inside the house. Cap the top of the chimney using an approved rain cap.

The following installation requirements must be observed when installing solid fuel burning inserts into factory
built fi replaces.

W415-0890 / A / 04.28.10

4.2 FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE

The following installation requirements must be observed when installing solid fuel burning inserts into factory
built fi replaces.

A. The factory built fi replace must be listed per UL 127 or ULC S610.
B. Clearances to any combustible material surrounding this insert as identifi ed must be followed. These

clearance requirements supersede any pre-existing facing material clearances listed for the factory
built fi replace.

C. Installation must include a full height listed chimney liner meeting HT requirements (2100°F) as re-

BURNING YOUR APPLIANCE WITH THE DOORS OPEN OR AJAR CREATES A FIRE HAZARD THAT MAY

RESULT IN A HOUSE AND OR CHIMNEY FIRE.

Y our T imberwolf EPA listed product is designed with the most advanced technology . The appliance is extremely air­tight.

The fi rst fi re(s) in your appliance will be diffi cult to get going and keep going with little amount of heat being gener-
ated. This is a result of the moisture being driven out of the fi re brick. Allow 30 to 40 hours of hot fi res (temperatures in
excess of 500°F - 600°F) before your appliance will perform normally . During the break-in period (the fi rst 2 or 3 fi res)
create only small, hot fi res using kindling; this will allow the fi rebrick to cure. Do not be alarmed if small hairline cracks
develop in the fi rebrick. This is a normal occurrence and does not pose a safety hazard. The paint may also smell a
little for the fi rst few fi res as it cures and you may wish to open a door or window to alleviate the smell.

To start, a brisk fi re is required. Place loosely crumpled paper on the fl oor of the appliance and cover with dry kindling.
Open the air control fully by sliding control all the way to the right. Light the paper and leave the door slightly ajar (one
inch) until all kindling is burning. To maintain a brisk fi re, a hot coal bed must be established and sustained.

Slowly add larger wood (2x4 size pieces). Lay the pieces lengthwise from side to side in the hot coal bed with a shal­low trench between, so that the primary air can fl ow directly into this trench and ignite the fuel above. When the fi re
seems to be at its peak, medium sized logs may be added. Once these logs have caught fi re, carefully close the door.
(Closing the door too quickly after refueling will reduce the fi rebox temperature and result in an unsatisfactory burn.)
Remember it is more effi cient to burn medium sized wood, briskly, and refuel frequently than to load the appliance with
large logs that result in a smouldering, ineffi cient fi re and dirty glass.

As soon as the door is closed, you will observe a change in the fl ame pattern. The fl ames will get smaller and lazier
because less oxygen is getting into the combustion chamber. The fl ames, however , are more effi cient. The fl ames will
remain lazy but become larger again as soon as the fi rebricks have been heated thoroughly and the chimney becomes
heated and provides a good draft. At this point, the roaring fi re that you see when the door is opened is wastefully
drawing heated room air up the chimney , certainly not desirable. Always operate with the door fully closed once the
medium sized logs have caught fi re.

W415-0890 / A / 04.28.10

You can now add larger pieces of wood and operate the appliance normally. Once the appliance is entirely hot,
it will burn very effi ciently with little smoke from the chimney. There will be a bed of orange coals in the fi rebox
and secondary fl ames fl ickering just below the top baffl es. You can safely fi ll the fi rebox with wood to the top of
the door and will get best burns if you keep the appliance pipe temperatures between 250 degrees Fahrenheit
(120 degrees Celsius) and 450 degrees Fahrenheit (270 degrees Celsius). A surface thermometer will help
regulate this.

Without an appliance thermometer, you are working blindly and have no idea of how the appliance is operating!
An appliance thermometer offers a guide to performance.

Can’t get the fi re going? Use more kindling and paper. Assuming the chimney and vent are sized correctly and
there is suffi cient combustion air, the lack of suffi ciently dry quantities of small kindling is the problem. Thumb
size is a good gauge for small kindling diameter.

Can’t get heat out of the appliance? One of two things may have happened. The appliance door may have
been closed prematurely and the appliance itself has not reached optimum temperature. Reopen the door and/
or draft control to re-establish a brisk fi re. The other problem may have been wet wood. The typical symptom is
sizzling wood and moisture being driven from the wood.

6.1 AIR CONTROL

Draft is the force which moves air from the fi rebox up through the chimney.
The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length and diameter of
chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Adjusting
the air control all the way to the left reduces the temperature. The draft can be
adjusted from low to high by moving the handle from left to right. Inadequate
draft may cause back-puffi ng into the room through the appliance and chimney
connector points and may cause plugging of the chimney. Too much draft may
cause an excessive temperature in the appliance, glowing red appliance parts
or chimney connectors or an uncontrollable burn which can lead to a chimney
fi re or permanent damage to the appliance. Do not operate your appliance for
longer than 30 minutes with the air control on “HIGH” (fully open).

19

AIR CONTROL

6.2 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS / SMOKE DETECTORS

All homes with a solid fuel burning appliance should have at least one fi re extinguisher in a central location
known to all and at least one smoke detector in the room containing the appliance. If it sounds an alarm, cor­rect the cause but do not deactivate or relocate the smoke detector.

6.3 FUEL

!

WARNING

DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN THE CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES, OR IN THE SPACE REQUIRED

FOR RE-FUELING AND ASH REMOVAL.

BURNING WET, UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION. WHEN

IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.

When loading the appliance, ensure that the two upper fi bre baffl es are not lifted up and of f their ledge. For
maximum effi ciency, when the appliance is thoroughly hot, load it fully to the top of the door opening and burn at
a medium low setting. Maximum heat for minimum fuel (optimum burn) occurs when the appliance top tempera­ture is between 500°F (260°C) and 600°F (315°C). The bricks will be nearly all white and the glass mostly clear .
The whiteness of the bricks and the cleanliness of the glass are good indicators of your operating effi ciency. Not
enough heat is produced when only one or two pieces of wood are burned or the wood may not burn completely .
A minimum of three pieces are needed to encase a bed of coals that sustains the fi re.

NOTE: When loading the appliance, ensure to keep fuel back from the glass. If coals are to accumulate
on the front lip, there is a chance they will fall out when the door is opened.

W415-0890 / A / 04.28.10

20

Loosely stacked wood burns quicker than a tightly packed load. Wood burns in cycles rather than giving a steady
output of heat. It is best to plan these cycles around your household routine so that only enough coals are left to
start the next load. In the evening, load your appliance, at least, a half-hour before bed to ensure a good fi re, hot
enough to close the draft control for an overnight burn.

Burn only dry seasoned wood. It produces more heat and less soot or creosote. Do not burn ocean beach wood.
Its salt content can produce a metal eating acid. When refueling open the door slowly to prevent smoke spillage.
Use a pair of long gloves (barbecue gloves) when feeding the fi re. Because these appliances burn at the front,
they are clean and effi cient, but they are also very hot and gloves are useful. Keep a small steel shovel nearby to
use as a poker and to remove ashes. Do not store the wood within 3 feet (1m) of the appliance.

6.4 LIGHTING A FIRE

6.4.1 FLASH FIRE

A fl ash fi re is a small fi re burned quickly when you don’t need much heat. After your kindling has “caught”, load
at least 3 pieces of wood, stacked loosely. Burn with the draft control fully open or closed only slightly.

6.4.2 EXTENDED FIRE

Load your larger pieces of wood compactly, packed close enough to prevent the fl ames from penetrating it
completely.

After approximately 30 minutes, depending on the size of the load, close the draft control completely making
sure that the fi re is not extinguished.

DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE!

Overfi ring can occur by:

A. Burning large amounts of smaller wood pieces such as furniture scraps, skids or treated wood;
B. Vigorously burning large loads of wood with the draft control on “HIGH” (fully open) for long periods of

time (one or two hours).

C. Leaking door gaskets that will permit excess air to enter the combustion chamber.

6.5 SMOKING

A properly installed appliance should not smoke. If yours does, check the following:

• Has the chimney had time to get hot?

• Is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance, chimney connector or chimney?

• Is the room too airtight and the air intake not connected to the outside? Try with a window partly open.

• Is the smoke fl ow impeded by too long a horizontal pipe or too many bends?

• Is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky chimney, a cold outside chimney, too large a diameter of
a chimney, too short a chimney, or a chimney too close to trees or a higher roof?

• Has a direct fl ue connection been used rather than a chimney liner continuous from cap to appliance
fl ue collar.

W415-0890 / A / 04.28.10

7.0 MAINTENANCE

TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.

APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT, DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.

Check your chimney and chimney connector for creosote and soot buildup weekly until a safe frequency for
cleaning is established.

If accumulation is excessive, disconnect the appliance and clean both the chimney and the appliance. You
may want to call a professional chimney sweep to clean them. Both have to be cleaned at least once a year or
as often as necessary.

Remove fi bre baffl es and clean above them once a year. Replace any broken bricks.

7.1 ASH REMOVAL PROCEDURES

IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF ASHES RESULT IN FIRES. DO NOT DISCARD ASHES IN CARDBOARD

BOXES, DUMP IN BACK YARDS, OR STORE IN GARAGES.

!

WARNING

!

WARNING

21

IF USING A VACUUM TO CLEAN UP ASHES, BE SURE THE ASHES ARE ENTIRELY COOLED. USING

A VACUUM TO CLEAN UP WARM ASHES COULD CAUSE A FIRE INSIDE THE VACUUM.

NEVER OPERATE YOUR APPLIANCE WITH THE GRATE COVER REMOVED.

FAILURE TO ACHIEVE A GOOD SEAL BETWEEN THE ASH OPENING, ASH PLUG OR ASH WELL DOOR

WILL RESULT IN AN OVER FIRE CONDITION THAT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE.

Allow the ashes in your fi rebox to accumulate to a depth of two or three inches; they tend to burn themselves
up. When the fi re has burned down and cooled, remove any excess ashes but leave an ash bed approximately
1 inch deep on the fi rebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fi tting lid. The closed contain-
er of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible fl oor or ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending fi nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should
be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

7.2 CREOSOTE FORMATION AND REMOVAL

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours which combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. These vapours condense in the relatively cooler chimney fl ue of a slow burning fi re and when
ignited, make an extremely hot fi re. So, the smoke pipe and chimney should be inspected monthly during the
heating season to determine if a buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney fi re.

W415-0890 / A / 04.28.10

22

7.3 RUNAWAY OR CHIMNEY FIRE

Runaway fi res can be the result of three major factors:

• Using incorrect fuel, or small fuel pieces which wood normally be used as kindling.

• Leaving the door ajar too long and creating extreme temperatures as the air rushes in the open door.

• Burning your appliance with the ash plug not securely seated.

SOLUTIONS:

• Do not burn treated or processed wood, coal,charcoal, coloured paper or cardboard.

• Be careful not to over-fi re the appliance by leaving the door open too long after initial start-up. A ther-
mometer on the chimney connector and/or appliance top helps.

• Always operate the appliance with the ash plug properly installed.

IN CASE OF A CHIMNEY FIRE:

• Have a well understood plan for evacuation and a place outside for everyone to meet. Prepare to
evacuate to ensure everyone’s safety.

• Close air inlet on appliance.

• Call local fi re department. Have a fi re extinguisher handy. Contact local authorities for further informa-
tion on how to handle a chimney fi re.

• After the chimney fi re is out, clean and inspect the chimney for stress and cracks prior to lighting an-
other fi re. Also check combustibles around the chimney and the roof.

7.4 CHIMNEY CLEANING

For serious wood burners, chimney cleaning must be done as needed to avoid chimney fi res; the venting sys-
tems for controlled combustion appliances may need cleaning as often as once a month. These rates, how­ever, depend on the burning habits of the individual operating the appliance. For example, it is possible to clog
a solid fuel appliance chimney in a few days if slow, smoldering fi res are burned and the chimney is cold. Wood
burners who consistently operate their appliances with appropriately hot fi res may infrequently have signifi cant
creosote accumulations in the chimney.

Certain items and considerations are important in chimney cleaning:

• Proper tools should be used, including a brush specifi cally designed for chimney cleaning.

• The chimney connector and dampers as well as the chimney should be cleaned.

• The appliance’s fi rebox and baffl e system should be cleaned if needed.

• The chimney should be inspected and repairs made if needed, preferably by a qualifi ed chimney
sweep or mason.

7.7 CARE OF GLASS

If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and / or
blemishes may result. Normally a hot fi re will clean the glass.
The most common reasons for dirty glass include: not using
suffi cient fuel to get the appliance thoroughly hot, using green
or wet wood, closing the draft so far that there is insuffi cient air
for complete combustion.
If it is necessary to clean the glass, buff lightly with a clean dry
cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.

DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT! Clean the glass after the fi rst 10 hours of operation with a
recommended appliance glass cleaner. Thereafter clean as required.

The glass is very strong but do not let burning fuel rest or fall against it and always close the door gently.

NEVER FORCE IT SHUT!

If the glass should ever crack or break while the fi re is burning, do not open the door until the fi re is out and do
not operate the appliance again until the glass has been replaced, available from your Authorized dealer. DO

NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.

7.8 CARE OF PLATED PARTS

!

WARNING

HOT GLASS WILL

CAUSE BURNS.

DO NOT TOUCH GLASS

UNTIL COOLED.

NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN

TO TOUCH GLASS.

5.3

If the appliance is equipped with plated parts, you must clean fi ngerprints or other marks from the plated
surfaces before operating the appliance for the fi rst time. Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and towel to clean.
If not cleaned properly before operating for the fi rst time, the marks can cause permanent blemishes on
the plating. After the plating is cured, the fi ngerprints and oils will not affect the fi nish and little maintenance
is required, just wipe clean as needed. Prolonged high temperature burning with the door ajar may cause
discolouration on plated parts.

NOTE: The protective wrap on plated parts is best removed when the assembly is at room
temperature but this can be improved if the assembly is warmed, using a hair dryer or similar heat
source.

7.9 GASKET REPLACEMENT

At the end of each burning season inspect the shield and gasket below the manifold for warping or deteriora­tion. Replace if necessary. Both are held to the manifold with machine screws. The shield and the 1/8” fi bre
cloth gasket are available from your Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer. At this time also check that the door gasket is not
worn or loose. Replace with 3/8” high density fi breglass rope if necessary.

The airwash gasket and shield above the door should also be inspected and replaced if deteriorated

NOTE: Do not operate appliance if gasket, manifold shield or fi bre baffl e is deteriorated or missing.

GROUND

WIRE

Burn only dry, clean unpainted wood that has been seasoned. It produces more heat and less soot or creo­sote. Freshly cut wood contains about 50% moisture while after proper seasoning only about 20% of the water
remains. As wood is burned, this water boils off consuming energy that should be used in heating. The wetter
the wood, the less heat is given off and the more creosote is produced.

Both hardwood and softwood burn equally well in this appliance but hardwood is denser, will weigh more per
cord and burn a little slower and longer. Firewood should be split, stacked in a manner that air can get to all
parts of it and covered in early spring to be ready for burning that fall. Dry fi rewood has cracks in the end grain.
Cut the wood so that it will fi t horizontally, front to back, making for easier loading and less of a likelihood that
the wood will roll onto the glass. Ideal lengths of wood are approximately 12”.

DO’S

• Build a hot fi re.

• Use only dry wood.

• Several pieces of medium sized wood are
better than a few big pieces.

• Clean chimney regularly.

• Refuel frequently using medium sized wood.

• “Fine Tune” the air settings for optimum per­formance.

DONT’S

• Take ash out immediately. Let it accumulate
to a depth of at least one inch. A good ash
layer provides for a longer lasting and better
burning fi re.

• Burn wet wood.

• Close the door too soon or damper down too
quickly.

• Burn one large log rather than two or three
smaller, more reasonably sized logs.

• Burn at continually “low setting”, if glass door
is constantly blackened. This means the fi re-
box temperature is too low.
