G. Building A Fire
Before lighting your rst re in the stove:
1. Conrm the bafe is correctly positioned. It should be
even with the front tube and resting on all tubes. Figure
23.1.
2. Remove all labels from glass.
There are many ways to build a re. The basic principle
is to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites the
fast burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow-burning
rewood. Here is one method that works well:
1.
Open the Burn Rate Air and Start-Up Air Controls fully.
2. Place several wads of crushed paper on the rebox oor.
Heating the ue with slightly crumpled newspaper before
adding kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.
3. Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.
4. Make sure that no matches or other combustibles are in
the immediate area of the appliance. Be sure the room
is adequately ventilated and the ue unobstructed.
5. Light the paper in the appliance. NEVER light or rekindle
re with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter uid; the
results can be fatal.
6. Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full-
length logs 3 inches (76mm) or 4 inches (102mm) in
diameter. Be careful not to smother the re. Stack the
pieces of wood carefully; near enough to keep each
other hot, but far enough away from each other to allow
adequate air ow between them.
7. Set the Burn Rate Air Control and activate the timer
system (ACC).
8. When ready to reload, It is best to fully open both the
Burn Rate Air and Start-up Air Controls before reload-
ing. This livens up the coalbed and reduces excessive
emissions (opacity/smoke). Open door slowly so that
ash or smoke does not exit appliance through opening.
Large logs burn slowly, holding a re longer. Small logs
burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.
9.
As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 6
through 8 will maintain a continuous re throughout the
season.
