4.3 HEATING
1. Poke the fire and spread the embers evenly at the center of the combustion
chamber before adding more wood.
2. Avoid overfilling the combustion chamber; air must be allowed to circulate
freely through the upper portion of the chamber for the stove to perform best.
Also remember that a small hot fire burns cleaner than a big smoldering one.
IMPORTANT
WHEN RELOADING, MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THE AIR INLETS LOCATED
BELOW THE DOOR INSIDE THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER FREE OF ASH.
OPENING PROCEDURE FOR THE LOADING DOOR

results given their higher density and the less tar they produce during
