FUELING INSTRUCTIONS
This wood stove has been certied by the US EPA to meet
strict 2020 guidelines. To ensure this unit produces the
optimal minimum emissions it is critical that only well-
seasoned cordwood is burned. Burning unseasoned
wet wood only hurts your stoves eciency and leads
to accelerated creosote buildup in your chimney. Be
considerate of the environment and only burn dry wood.
CAUTION:
DO NOT LEAVE APPLIANCE UNATTENDED THE WITH
DOOR OPEN.
For a cold start-up, place 4 to 5 pieces of newspaper into
the rebox. On top of the newspaper, lay 2.5 lbs of kindling
in random placement to ensure airow through the
kindling. On top of the kindling, place approximately 3.5
to 4 lbs of small pieces of cordwood. NOTE: Use smaller
pieces of wood during start-up and a high burn rate to
increase the stove temperature.
3.5 - 4 lbs
Pull the air control out fully (in the “HI” position). Light the
newspaper and leave the door slightly open for about a
minute. NOTE: You may have to leave it open a bit longer,
depending on your chimney height and outdoor conditions.
After one minute (or once the re is well started) close
the door and allow the kindling to ignite. Once the kindling
has burned down to a starter coal bed, load the unit with
approximately 14 lbs of fuel for the rst high burn load.
14 lbs
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 16 lbs of cordwood and close the door immediately.
Leave the air control fully open (in the “HI” position) for
5 minutes. After 5 minutes the air control can be put in
the medium setting which is about 1” open from the fully
closed position. For a low re burn setting, follow the
same procedure as a medium burn for loading and initial
ignition. After 5 minutes of burning, slowing move your
air to the fully closed position. NOTE: The closing down
procedure should take 15 minutes. Do not close the air too
quickly. Closing the air too quickly will cause the unit to
smoke.

WARNINGS:
• NEVER OVERFIRE YOUR STOVE. IF ANY PART OF
THE STOVE STARTS TO GLOW RED, OVER FIRING IS
HAPPENING. READJUST THE AIR INTAKE CONTROL
AT A LOWER SETTING.
• THE INSTALLATION OF A LOG CRADLE OR GRATES
IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN YOUR WOOD STOVE.
BUILD FIRE DIRECTLY ON FIREBRICK.
• NEVER PUT WOOD ABOVE THE FIREBRICK LINING
OF THE FIREBOX.
• ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES
THAT EXCEED HEATER DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE
HEATER.
VISIBLE SMOKE
The amount of visible smoke being produced can be
an effective method of determining how eciently the
combustion process is taking place in the given settings.
Visible smoke consists of unburned fuel and moisture
leaving your stove. Learn to adjust the air settings of your
specic unit to produce the smallest amount of visible
smoke. Wood that has not been seasoned properly and
has a high wood moisture content will produce excess
visible smoke and burn poorly.
