4. Reloading the stove—Stove tending time will be greatly
reduced if you reload your stove while the system is still
hot and there is plenty of hot embers to rekindle the re
quickly. Including some smaller pieces of wood in the new
fuel load will help the stove regain temperatures quickly.
When reloading, open the oven damper and wait
momentarily—if loading from the top—slowly lift the key
plate or if loading from the front, open the door slowly.
Load wood—smaller, split pieces rst.
Close the door or key plate.
Open the bell dampers slightly.
The stove must rebuild its thermal momentum before
closing the oven damper.
As you become more experienced you will gain knowledge
on what settings of bell dampers and oven dampers can
be used at the different stages of the woodburning cycle
(see Combustion Process, page 16 gure 7).

pulling the grate up, back end rst, and out of the rebox.
