is a knob
located on the bottom door. Sliding the knob to the left
provides less air for a smaller re. Sliding the knob to the
right provides more air for a larger re. When burning
wood, this knob should be all the way to the left, closed.
are
located on each side as shown at left and on page 6.
Both controls should be adjusted equally. Air from these
controls also provides a curtain of air across the glass
to keep it clean. Move the controls down for less heat
and up for more heat. When burning coal these controls
should be in the down position.
Coal must have air coming up through the coal bed
in order to burn. Some air over the top of the coal helps
burn gases. A small amount of air enters the top of
the coal re when the wood controls are in the down
position.
Wood burns with top or bottom air; however, top air
coming down across the glass to form an air curtain
works best and keeps the glass clean.
This is why it is recommended that the coal control
be positioned to the for wood burning.
Crumple up six to eight sheets of news paper and
place in the rebox. Next place pieces of dry wood 3/4
inch maximum diameter on top of the paper, Next place
several 1"-2" split pieces of dry wood on top, followed
by a few 2"-3" split pieces. Set the wood air controls at
the maximum heat output setting, all the way up. Place
the knob on the bottom door to the left. These settings
will allow the glass to stay clean as you build your re.
The coal knob may be moved to the right to speed the
ignition process but the glass may get dirty.
Ignite the paper and allow the re to burn until a
good charcoal bed, 2"- 3" (50 mm - 80 mm) is formed;
(You may need to leave the ash door open a crack to
get the blaze going properly, but never leave the stove
unattended with a door open.) Add more wood to create
a deeper charcoal base 3" to 4".
Once the charcoal bed is established you may add
a full load of dry wood. After adding the fuel, leave air
setting at maximum for 5 to 15 minutes. Then, adjust
the air controls and blower speed for the desired heat
output.
