  Smoke may enter the room while reloading your Avalon Wood stove. To prevent this, stabilize the air before fully opening the door by pushing the air control in. Initially, open the door just an inch to allow air into the firebox for a few seconds. Once the smoke consistently flows up the chimney, you can fully open the door. Insufficient draft could also be a factor; adding more pipe or a draft-inducing cap might help.

  Smoke might enter the room during the start-up of your Avalon Wood stove due to a cold air blockage. To fix this, burn a piece of newspaper to establish a draft. Also, ensure the doors are closed and the air control is fully open. If more air is needed, slightly crack the door open.

  If the kindling in your Avalon Stove isn't starting and the fire smolders, it might be due to a cold air blockage. Try burning a piece of newspaper to establish a draft. If needed, use additional newspaper. Also, make sure the air control is fully open. If more air is required, slightly crack the door open.

  If your Avalon Stove isn't burning long enough, ensure the doors are sealing properly to prevent air from entering the firebox; see the "Door and Glass Inspection" section on page 30 for details. Also, check the ash bed for coals, which may be glowing under a layer of flyash. Raking these coals into a pile can help restart the stove quickly.

  If smoke enters the room while reloading your Avalon Stove, allow the air to stabilize before fully opening the door. Push the air control in before opening the door, then open the door about an inch to let air into the firebox for a few seconds. Once the smoke consistently flows up the chimney, fully open the door. Insufficient draft may also be the cause, so adding more pipe or a draft-inducing cap might help.
