WOOD STOVE UTILIZATION
Your heating appliance was designed to burn well
seasoned natural wood only; no other materials should
be burned. Any type of well seasoned natural wood
may be used in your stove, but specic varieties have
better energy yields than others. Higher eciencies and
lower emissions generally result when burning air dried
seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or too
green or freshly cut hardwoods. The following resources
can assist in learning the burn characteristics of various
species of wood: http://rewoodresource.com/rewood-

wood-heating The operation of this wood heater in a
manner inconsistent with the owner’s manual will void your
warranty and is also against federal regulations. Waste
and other ammable materials should not be burned in
your stove. DO NOT BURN:
1. Garbage;
2. Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3. Materials containing rubber, including tires;
4. Materials containing plastic;
5. Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or
asphalt products;
6. Materials containing asbestos;
7. Construction or demolition debris;
8. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
9. Manure or animal remains;
10. Saltwater driftwood or other previously salt water-
saturated materials;
11. Unseasoned wood; or
12. Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.
The prohibition against burning these materials does
not prohibit the use of re starters made from paper,
cardboard, sawdust, wax, and similar substances to
start a re in an affected wood heater.
Burning these materials may result in the release of toxic
fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
Deadwood lying on the forest oor should be considered
wet and requires full seasoning time. Standing deadwood
can usually be considered to be about 2/3 seasoned.
Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs exceeding
6” in diameter should be split. The wood should not be
stored directly on the ground. Air should circulate through
the logs. A 24” to 48” air space should be left between
each row of logs, which should be placed in the sunniest
location possible. The upper layer of wood should be
protected from the element but not the sides. A good
indicator of if the wood is ready to burn is to check the
piece ends. If cracks are radiating in all directions from the
center then the wood should be dry enough to burn. If your
