ALASKA kodiak - STEP 6 Raking the Fire

F) Heat Levels
1) To obtain maximum heat fill stove with coal to just
above the front fire brick.
2) To obtain longest even burn - fill stove to load door
(be sure door is able to close). Do not push coal, allow
it to find its own level. Stove will hold about 120
lbs. of coal. Caution: Never leave stove unattended
with draft controls wide open.
Each time you fill your stove with coal keep your draft
controls wide open for 15 - 20 minutes. This allows
your fire to build. Once you have a good fire base
adjust your draft controls to regulate your
temperature range.
