Daily Routine
Morning Loading:
Load wood into the unit as described above.
Late Afternoon Check:
Checktheunittoensurethereissufcientwoodtoburn
until the end of the day. Load just enough fuel to ensure
abedofburningcharcoalisinthereboxprior tothe
night loading.
Note: The rebox is hottestwhen the woodhas burnt
down to a bed of charcoal. When the primary chamber
has burnt down to this level, the rebox will dry out
and burn most of the accumulated creosote on the
walls. If the primary chamber is full all of the time, the
temperatureinthereboxstaysquitecoolandcreosote
may build up on the walls.
Night Loading:
Rakethecoalandashfromtheperimeteroftherebox
and especially from the back wall of the chamber where
ash tends to build up. With the ask rake, pull the ash
and charcoal away from the walls. The force of the fan
will blow the ash into the lower chamber on its own. If
this is done every day the ash should fall through the
slots easily.
Load wood into the unit as described above.

Correct:
The rebox should be
loaded with wood of
proper length. This will
lengthen the burn time.
Incorrect:
The rebox loosely lled
with irregular pieces of
wood will decrease burn
time and may cause un-
necessary bridging.
