3. Never operate your stove for extended periods of time with the draft control
completely closed. Both the wood fire and the catalytic combustor need oxygen to
burn efficiently.
4. Try to re-establish a hot fire, and re-ignite the combustor after every
reloading by opening the primary air control for about 10 minutes.
5. Check the catalytic combustor output. Use the thermometer provided with the
stove to be sure that the catalytic combustor is igniting properly when you kindle a
fire or reload the stove. The temperatures on the stove top should rise noticeably,
and pipe temperatures should drop, when the catalytic combustor becomes
engaged.
6. Avoid long, smoldering fires. Again, the catalytic combustor is critical here. Hot
firebox temperatures (with the stove top thermometer in the 400-600
0
range) will
produce more complete combustion and maintain proper catalytic activity.
