Notes About First Firing
Before firing ensure that the room is well ventilated. Curing the paint is recommended to preserve
the best quality finish. Heating the stove up too intensely on the first fire will dull and lighten the
colour on overheated areas, and cause smoke and odour to be emitted into the room. To cure the
paint, the first two fires should be burned for only about twenty minutes each.
Allow the stove to get warm only but not hot, i.e. 250

Open the draft control fully to the right (located on the front of the stove, Figure 2.1)
5.
Light a fire at the bottom of the crumpled paper and close the door. If the fire tends to go

Ideally the large kindling should be burned until a thick bed of red embers is obtained. At
that point, add cordwood fuel and continue to operate the draft control wide open until the
fire is well established. Once the firebox is hot, the draft control can be partially closed by
moving the handle to the left to adjust the intensity of the fire.
