Drolet 1200 Manuel D’Utilisation

Controlled combustion is the most efficient technique for wood heating because it enables 
you to select the type of combustion you want for each given situation.  The wood will burn 
slowly if the wood stove air intake control is adjusted to reduce the oxygen supply in the 
combustion chamber to a minimum.  On the other hand, wood will burn quickly if the air 
control is adjusted to admit a larger quantity of oxygen in the combustion chamber.  The 
air intake control on your stove is very simple.  If you pull on it out completely towards you, 
it is fully open.  If you push on it until it stops the combustion air is reduced to a minimum. 
 
The following burn rates will be achieved according to control setting.

Please note that the SIBERIAN-1200 and SIBERIAN-2000 series stoves do not have the 
same operating range.  The SIBERIAN-1200 type stove burned between 0.69 kg/h and 
2.69 kg/h, the SIBERIAN1600 between 0.93 and 3.32 kg/hr during EPA testing. The 2000 
serie achieved between 0.95 kg/h and 4.9 kg/h under the same conditions . Real operating 
conditions may give very different results than those obtained in the lab according to the 
species of wood used, its moisture content, the size and density of the pieces, the length 
of the chimney, altitude, outside temperature.
