During constant use, ashes should be removed 
every few days. The Ash Drawer  features a 
convenient ash drawer for easy removal of 
ashes.

1)  Do not allow ashes to build up to the loading 

doors!  Only remove ashes when the fi re has 
died down.  Even then, expect to fi nd a few 
hot embers.

2)  Please take care to prevent the build-up of 

ash around the start-up air housing located 
inside the stove box, near the pilot.

3)  Never start a fi re if the ash plug and ash 

drawer are not in place. This will cause 
overfi ring which can cause excessive warp-
ing of the stove. Evidence of overfi ring can 
void the warranty on your stove.

4) The 

fi rebricks are brittle and can be damaged 

if the plug is replaced carelessly or pieces 
that are too large are forced through the 
hole. 

4)  When emptying the ash drawer, make sure 

the ashes have cooled down completely. 
Ashes should be placed in a metal container 
with a tight fi tting lid.  The closed container 
of ashes should be placed on a non-com-
bustible fl oor or on the ground, well away 
from all combustible materials, pending fi nal 
disposal.  If the ashes are disposed of by 
burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, 
they should be retained in the closed 
container until all cinders have thoroughly 
cooled.  Other waste should not be placed 
in the ash container.

5)  Before putting the ash drawer back in, ensure 

that the ash plug is back in place.

1)  Only clean ashes out of the stove when the 

unit has cooled down.  Remove the plug by 
lifting on the handle using the tool provided. 
The plug may still be warm, use caution. 
Push the ashes down the hole into the ash 
drawer, the large pieces can be left in the 
fi rebox and burned during the next fi re or 
removed through the door opening.

2)  Always leave 1/2 to 1 inch of ash in the 

bottom of the fi rebox.  This helps in easier 
starting and a more uniform burn of your 
fi re. 

3)  To remove the drawer, slide it out.  When 

the drawer is completely out, slide the cover 
plate over the ash drawer and carry away.
