5 Maintaining Your Wood Heating System
5.1 Stove Maintenance
Your new stove will give many years of reliable service if you use and maintain it correctly.
Some of the internal components of the firebox, such as firebricks, baffles and air tubes,
will wear over time under intense heat. You should always replace defective parts with
original parts (see Appendix 4: Exploded Diagram and Parts List). For firing each load
hot to begin a cycle as described above will not cause premature deterioration of the
stove. However, letting the stove run with the air control fully open for entire cycles can
cause damage over time. The hotter you run the stove throughout burn cycles, the more
quickly its components will deteriorate. For that reason, never leave the stove
unattended while a new load is being fired hot.
5.1.1 Door adjustment
In order for your stove to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal
with the firebox. Therefore, the gasket should be inspected periodically making sure to
obtain an air tight fit. Airtightness can be improved with a simple latch mechanism
adjustment. To adjust:
1. Remove the lock pin (spring pin) by pulling and turning it using pliers.
2. Turn the handle counter clock wise one turn to increase pressure.
3. Re-install the lock pin (spring pin) with a small hammer.
