Blower Operation
The blower will turn
on once the stove is
up to temperature.
This is typically 15 to
30 minutes after
starting the fire.
Follow the directions
below to alter the
blower speed.
OFF
Turn the dial all
the way counter-
clockwise until it
clicks off.
HIGH
The high position
is all the way
counter-clockwise,
without clicking
off.
LOW
Turn the dial
all the way
clockwise.
The blower may be used to affect heat output (i.e.: to reduce heat output, turn the blower down).
Route the power cord in a location where it will not come in contact with the appliance or become hot.
Re-Loading the Stove
Follow the directions below to minimize smoke spillage while re-loading the stove.
1 Open the air control all the way (push it in). Open the bypass (pull it out).
2 Open the door slightly. Let the airflow inside the firebox to stabilize before opening the doors fully.
3 Load wood onto the fire.
Overnight Burn
This stove is large enough to accommodate burn times up to eight hours. Follow the steps below to
achieve an overnight burn.
1 Move the air control to high burn and let the stove become hot (burn for approximately 15 minutes).
2 Load as much wood as possible. Use large pieces if possible.
3 Let the stove burn on high for 15 minutes to keep the stove hot, then turn the air control to low.
4 In the morning the stove should still be hot, with embers in the coal bed. Stir the coals and load
small pieces of wood to re-ignite the fire, if desired.
Differences if chimney height and draft may lower overall burn times.

The 3/16" and 5/16" steel may creak or click when
