ADDING FUEL
1. If the embers are not hot and glowing, rake the embers to the front of the appliance, close the door and
adjust the air control fully open (in the “HI” position). Let the embers re-heat for 10 to 15 minutes.
2. When hot and glowing, spread the embers out and place your next fuel load into the appliance (make sure
no embers or ashes block the Lower Primary Air Orice (LPAO). Leave the air control fully open (in the “HI”
position) for 15 to 20 minutes every time you apply fresh wood. This allows wood to achieve the charcoal
stage faster and burns wood vapors which might otherwise be deposited within the heating system.
NOTE: Fuel load size can vary but should be kept 1 to 2 inches below the secondary air tubes. Also position the
fuel to leave space so the air from the inlet can work down between the pieces of fuel. This reduces the time it
takes for new fuel to burn properly.
3. When the re brightens, slowly and carefully open the door. This procedure will prevent gases from igniting
causing smoke and ame spillage.
4. Add fuel being careful not to overload or overre the appliance. When adding fuel be careful not to smother
the re. Do not build res against glass and make sure the embers do not obstruct the air inlet. Do not allow
logs to roll and strike the glass.
NOTE: Do not overre the appliance (overring is when any part of the appliance’s exterior or chimney connections
glow).
5. Close the feed door and secure tightly.
6. Adjust the air inlet control as described in the “Fueling Instruction” section of this manual.
7. Empty ashes regularly. Do not allow ashes to pile up. Properly dispose of hot ashes (see the “Ash Removal And
Disposal” section of this manual).
After the rst high burn load and the stove is well warmed up, adjust the unit as needed for a medium or low burn
setting.
For a medium burn, once the high burn fuel load is burned down to an established coal bed, load the unit with
14 to 15 lbs of cordwood and close the door immediately. Leave the air control fully open (in the “HI” position)
for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes rotate the air control to the medium position (midway between the “Low” and
“Hi” position).
For a low burn setting once the high burn (or medium) fuel load is burned down to an established coal bed, load
the unit with 14 to 15 lbs of cordwood and close the door immediately. Leave the air control fully open (in the “HI”
position) for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes begin to rotate the air control to the “Low” postion (air control rotated
fully up). NOTE: Do not close the air too quickly. Closing the air too quickly will cause the unit to smoke.

Rotate the air control fully down. Light the
newspaper and close the door. Once the kindling
has burned down to a starter coal bed, load the
unit with approximately 12 to 13 lbs of fuel for the
rst high burn load.
