Wood Burning Operation
1) Open the Air Control Damper all the way (Figure 1)
2) Open the Bypass Damper (Figure 2). The Bypass Damper must be open to open the loading door. Keep the Bypass
Damper open to prevent smoke from spilling into the room when kindling the fire.
3) Always confirm there is adequate draft before lighting the fire. Hold a lit match or light a small piece of
newspaper in the top/back of the firebox, where smoke exits. If the flame is drawn out of the firebox, toward the
flue, proceed with lighting the fire. If the flame stands still or is pushed away from the flue exit, you must
establish a good draft before lighting a fire. A hair dryer or heat gun pointed at the flue exit is a good way to
establish draft without creating a lot of smoke. After you think you have draft, retest with a match.
4) Once good draft has been established, build a fire on the floor of the firebox.
DO NOT USE ADDITIONAL GRATES, ANDIRONS OR ANY OTHER METHODS TO SUPPORT THE FUEL
IN THE FIREBOX. Start with crumpled newspaper and dry kindling (Figure 3).
5) Add small splits of firewood once the kindling has ignited to establish a bed of hot coals.
6) Add small to medium splits onto the hot coals (Figure 4).
7) After the single wall pipe temperature reaches 200-250°F, close the Bypass Damper by lowering the handle down to
the closed position (Figure 5). All of the smoke from the firebox will now pass through the catalytic combustor. The
combustor will generate a substantial amount of heat as it “burns” the smoke passing through it.
8) Adjust the Air Control Damper to a lower setting, by sliding the Air Control to the left. The closer the air damper is
to being closed, the longer the wood will burn (Figure 6).
