For low burn, slide the air control to the left. For
medium burns, use notches 1 to 2. Maximum heat is
attained with the air control all the way to the right. Do
not burn the stove continuously at the maximum setting.
If maximum heat is required day after day, the stove is
too small for the area you are trying to heat.
If your wood is not seasoned long enough or is high
in moisture content, you may need to adjust the primary
air slightly higher to sustain a low burn rate with the
cleanest possible exhaust.
Begin with the bypass damper open, and the air
control lever at the maximum setting, all the way to the
right. Be sure the ash pan door is closed and latched.
Start with a bed of crumpled paper and kindling sized
about nger width; place several 1" - 2" (25mm - 50mm)
split pieces of dry wood on top of the kindling, followed by
a few 2" - 3" (50 mm - 80 mm) split pieces. Lay the wood
in a crossed pattern to allow maximum air ow. Ignite
the paper and close the loading door(s). Allow this start-
up re to burn for a few minutes, keeping the bypass
damper open. Add about ve more pieces of wood in
the 2 to 3 inch (50 - 80mm) size range, making sure
that the fuel bed is all the way across the rebox and
staggered to allow airow. Close the door and allow this
loading to burn a few minutes.
Add increasingly larger pieces of wood to the re until
you have a thick bed of hot embers, approximately 2
to 3 inches deep at the back of the grate and at least
an inch deep at the front. You must have this charcoal
bed established before you close the bypass damper.
Providing you have the charcoal bed described,
close the bypass damper by pulling the handle toward
the front of the stove.
Two important controls - the damper bypass handle
and the air control lever regulate the operation and
output of the stove.
To open the top or front loading door, you must open
the damper bypass, or smoke will come in the room. In
this mode of operation the combustion gases go directly
from the main combustion chamber to the ue collar
and exit into the chimney.
Open the bypass damper by
turning the handle clockwise while facing handle.

The air control lever is located directly below the load
door. Sliding this lever allows you to vary the amount
of air to the re, creating a range of heat outputs. The
lowest heat output setting is to the left, and the highest
is to the right. The notches are provided as a reference
for your comfortable heat settings. Do not, under any
circumstances, alter the conguration or operation of
the air control lever.
