Introducing Your 
Tribute Wood Stove 
 
Congratulations!  You have just invested in a most unique 
wood burning stove – the Tribute Wood Burning Stove 
from HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products Inc®.  
The Tribute Model –8040 is a clean burning EPA 
certified, non-catalytic wood burning stove. At 1.1 cubic 
feet capacity and 2.97 grams per hour particulate you can 
be proud to join the HearthStone family with our Premier 
Soap Stone Wood Burning Stove.  The front door, along 
with the generous depth allow for loading of wood up to 
16 inches long! 
 
Your purchase insures years of clean, comfortable heat 
with minimal maintenance.  You will receive the benefits 
of the most advanced technology in wood burning without 
the cost and maintenance requirements of a catalytic 
stove.  The Tribute blends modern technology with the 
unique beauty and heating qualities of soapstone, long 
known for its even heat production and long heat-
retaining ability. We trust that you will appreciate the 
quality of our handcrafted product. 
 
 
Please read this manual in its entirety.  Its purpose is to 
familiarize you with your stove's safe installation, proper 
break-in, operation and maintenance.  It contains 
information that will be useful to you now, and in years to 
come, so keep it handy and refer to it as needed. 
 
Use these instructions as well as national, state, and local 
building codes to install your stove.  Be sure to maintain 
the designated stovepipe and stove clearances to walls, 
ceilings, hearth, and other combustible surfaces.  This will 
help reduce the risk of fire.  Failure to follow these 
instructions can result in property damage, bodily injury, 
and even death. 
 
 
Locate your stove in a safe, convenient, open area; away 
from traffic flow, doors, and hallways; and near a 
chimney and chimney connector.  Review the proper 
clearance measurements from combustible surfaces. You 
can safely reduce required clearances in most cases by 
using the, optional, rear heat shield, and also with a 
special connector pipe and special wall coverings as 
specified by this manual, the NFPA 211 codes, and your 
local authorities having jurisdiction. 
 
Keep furniture, drapes, curtains, wood, paper, and other 
combustibles far away from the stove.  Never install the 
stove in a location where gasoline, kerosene, charcoal 
lighter fluid or other flammable liquids are used or stored. 
 
 
Locate the stove centrally in your living area to allow the 
heat to travel naturally to distant rooms.  We recommend 
that you do not locate your stove in an uninsulated 
basement.  The amount of radiant energy required to heat 
concrete basement walls is so great that most of the usable 
heat is absorbed by them and lost.

contact your dealer for additional information.
