This stove is designed to burn
WOOD FUEL ONLY!
Hardwood, 24” to 26” should be split and air
dried (seasoned), for 6 months to obtain maximum
burning efficiency. Wood should be stored in a dry,
well ventilated area.

FLUIDS. DO NOT BURN COAL AS THIS STOVE
IS NOT DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE THE AIR
FLOW (DRAFT) NECESSARY TO PROPERLY
BURN COAL OR COAL PRODUCTS. DO NOT
ELEVATE FIRE OR USE GRATES OR AND-
IRONS. BUILD FIRE DIRECTLY ON BOTTOM

OPTIMAL FUEL CONSUMPTION
This stove is designed to get the most ef-
ficient transfer of heat energy from the wood fuel
and radiate it into your living environment. The
fire box introduces combustion air through three
sources. (1) Immediately beneath the door opening
below the window is a Lower Primary Air Orifice
(LPAO). (2) The door air inlet control brings air
into the firebox and controls the rate of burn (and
the amount of heat the stove radiates). (3) The
secondary air tubes at the top of the firebox are
designed to ignite the combustion gases (smoke)
