UNDERSTANDING YOUR STOKER STOVE
Your Stoker Stove operates utilizing “continuous air” with a time feed mechanism.
The advantage of a constant air feed system over any thermostat type operations are:
1) A longer burning season.
2) Your fuel burns better.
3) The auto heat control box allows you to increase and decrease fire size.
NOTE: Chimney should match stove exhaust pipe size.
CAUTION:
STOVE DOORS MUST REMAIN CLOSED AT ALL TIMES WHILE STOVE IS IN OPERATION.
Entire vent system should be cleaned at least ONCE P
ER MONTH. Fossil fuel burning can create lethal
doses of carbon monoxide gas. This gas has no odor or color. Purchase a carbon monoxide alarm for
detection. Have your chimney cleaned professionally before burning any coal stove.
