7.0 OPERATION
Your Timberwolf EPA listed product is a Hi-tech appliance, designed with the most advanced technology. The
appliance is extremely airtight. It has an exclusive direct outside air supply (optional kit), a safety feature
designed to prevent spillage, and to keep your house free of carbon monoxide, in case of a down drafting
chimney or an internal negative pressure. This appliance requires periodic inspection and repair for proper
operation. It is against federal regulations in the United States to operate this appliance in a manner
inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
The fi rst fi re(s) in your appliance will be diffi cult to get going and keep going with little amount of heat being
generated. This is a result of the moisture being driven out of the fi re brick. During the break-in period (the fi rst 2 or
3 fi res) create only small, fi res using kindling; this will allow the fi rebrick to cure. Do not be alarmed if small hairline
cracks develop in the fi rebrick. This is a normal occurrence and does not pose a safety hazard. The paint may also
smell a little for the fi rst few fi res as it cures and you may wish to open a door or window to alleviate the smell.
To start, a brisk fi re is required. Place loosely crumpled paper on the fl oor of the appliance and cover with dry kindling.
Open the air control fully by sliding control all the way to the right. Light the paper and leave the door slightly ajar (one
inch) until all kindling is burning. To maintain a brisk fi re, a hot coal bed must be established and maintained.
During the refueling and rekindling of a cool fi re, or a fi re that has been burned down to the charcoal phase,
operate the appliance at a medium to high fi ring rate for about 10 minutes to ensure the temperature reaches
600°F (315°C)
Slowly add larger wood (2x4 size pieces). Lay the pieces lengthwise from side to side in the hot coal bed with a
shallow trench between, so that the primary air can fl ow directly into this trench and ignite the fuel above. When the
fi re seems to be at its peak, medium sized logs may be added. Once these logs have caught fi re, carefully close the
door. (Closing the door too quickly after refueling will reduce the fi rebox temperature and result in an unsatisfactory
burn.) Remember it is more effi cient to burn medium sized wood, briskly, and refuel frequently than to load the
appliance with large logs that result in a smouldering, ineffi cient fi re and dirty glass.
