6. Ideally the large kindling should be burned until a thick bed of red embers is obtained. At that
point, add cordwood fuel and continue to operate the draft control wide open until the fire is well
established. Once the firebox is hot, the draft control can be partially closed by moving the knob to
the left to adjust the intensity of the fire.
Use Table 3.2 to adjust the draft control to the desired burn rate:
Draft Settings
Burn Rate
Draft Setting
Low
Push Control to end of travel.
Medium Low
Pull Control by 3/8” from closed position.
Medium High
Pull Control by 3/4” from closed position
High
Pull Control to end of travel.

Closing the draft control down too soon will lower combustion efficiency, and may result in creosote
build-up in the chimney (which could lead to a chimney fire).
CAUTION: THE ADJUSTMENT RANGE SHOULD NOT BE ALTERED FOR INCREASED FIRING FOR ANY REASON.
