You will need a handheld propane torch to ignite your stove. We recommend a high quality torch with a
squeeze trigger ignition system. DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE.
1. Make sure the pellet feed door is in the closed position, this is the external knob located on the front of
the hopper. All the way down indicates closed.
2. Remove hopper lid and add desired amount of pellets.
3. Make sure front damper slide is in the closed position, holes should be blocked.
4. Inspect primary burn chamber, secondary burn plate and ashtray for soot build up and cleanliness.
Perform any maintenance required.
5. Reinstall primary burn chamber, secondary burn plate and ashtray.
6. Remove the primary chamber end slide (the top handle).
7. Light the torch and insert into primary burn chamber. Let the torch run for approximately one minute.
This will start the necessary draft and speed the ignition process.
8. Slide the feed to the all the way open position (the knob should now be at the top of the slot)
9. Let the torch run till the stove reaches 200 degrees (this should only take approximately 5 minutes
depending on the type of fuel).
10. Remove, turn off and store your torch.
11. Keep the primary slide cover off until the stove reaches approximately 400 degrees.
WARNING: After starting the stove the primary end slide must be on to insure proper air fl ow through the
seconday burn chamber and proper use of outside air.
