What to do if there is a chimney fire in my Blaze King Wood stove?
If you have a chimney fire in your Blaze King Wood stove, immediately turn the thermostat to the lowest setting and ensure the loading door is tightly closed. Then, call the Fire Department, regardless of the cause.
Why is my Blaze King Wood stove producing too much heat?
If your Blaze King Wood stove is producing too much heat, start by ensuring the by-pass door is closed and the thermostat isn't set too high. Also check the loading door gasket for leaks, which could admit excess air. If leaking, replace the door gasket and/or adjust the door. Excessive draft in the chimney could also be a culprit, so measure it with a Manometer and consult a professional. Using wood that is too small can also cause too much heat, so use larger pieces.
Why is there excessive creosote formation in my Blaze King Wood stove chimney?
Excessive creosote formation in your Blaze King Wood stove's chimney and connector can be caused by several factors. Ensure the by-pass door is closed and sealing tightly; inspect it for warping and clean any ash or creosote buildup. Verify proper operation by checking the thermostat setting and operating procedures. Use seasoned wood and inspect the catalytic combustor. A poor draft due to an oversize or short flue can also contribute, so measure the draft. Finally, a cold or poorly insulated chimney can be a factor, consider upgrading the chimney system.
What to do if smoke spills from my Blaze King SIROCCO 20 when loading fuel?
If smoke spills from the door opening when loading fuel into your Blaze King Wood stove, the spark arrestor screen on the cap might be plugged; clean it to bare metal wire. The chimney might be too cold, so ensure double wall stove pipe is used in the installation. Insufficient vertical rise can also cause this issue, so make certain a minimum vertical rise of 36” is observed prior to elbows, and use two 45 elbows instead of a 90 elbow. Alternatively, the chimney may not be drafting properly; turn the thermostat to the highest setting, open the bypass, leave the loading door closed, and wait 5-10 minutes to increase chimney or flue temperature.
Why doesn't the catalytic combustor thermometer on my Blaze King SIROCCO 20 go into the active zone?
If the catalytic combustor thermometer on your Blaze King Wood stove doesn't reach or stay in the "Active" zone, and the fans have been off for 10 minutes, check the thermostat setting and operating procedures. Also, check for obstructions in the chimney or cap and clean them. If the thermometer is faulty, replace it and recheck the combustor operating temperature. Ensure you're using seasoned wood as well.
How to prevent door glass from quickly coating with creosote on my Blaze King SIROCCO 20?
If your door glass on Blaze King Wood stove quickly becomes coated with creosote, turn the thermostat to the warmest setting during the first 20-30 minutes after reloading until the fire is well established. Poor draft can cause this, so measure it with a Manometer and consult a professional. Also, remove any obstructions in the chimney or cap screen. Installing a wind-resistant chimney cap can help if strong winds are causing a downdraft. Opening a window slightly near the stove can address inadequate air supply. Finally, use seasoned wood with low pitch content.
Why are there spots of creosote accumulation in my Blaze King SIROCCO 20 chimney?
If you notice spots of creosote accumulation in your Blaze King Wood stove's chimney or connector, inspect these components for air leaks and repair or replace them as needed. Ensure the chimney connector is correctly installed. Also, poor draft can contribute to this issue, so measure the draft with a Manometer and consult a professional.
What to do if fans will not run on my Blaze King Wood stove?
If one or both fans of your Blaze King Wood stove will not run, or there is no adjustment for fan speed, check that fan blade’s not touch edges of hole. For fan speed control, consult your Blaze King dealer for replacement.
Why is my Blaze King Wood stove not producing enough heat?
If your Blaze King Wood stove isn't producing enough heat, ensure you're using seasoned wood and fully load the stove. Remember, a full load won't burn hotter than the thermostat setting. Also, check for any obstructions in the chimney or if the combustor is plugged. If so, remove the obstruction. If the combustor isn't functioning, consider testing and replacing it if needed. Other potential causes include the thermostat being set too low (raise the setting), a poorly operating thermostat (consult your dealer), poor draft (measure with a Manometer and consult your dealer or a chimney sweep), strong winds causing downdraft (install a wind-resistant cap), inadequate air supply (slightly open a window or install an outside air kit), or reloading too much wood on too few coals (allow a larger...
