Defiant 1610 Non-Catalytic Woodburning Stove
30002850
Infra-Red Reflective Glass Panels 
for Clear Fire Viewing
The outer surfaces of the ceramic glass panels have 
an infrared-reflective coating which keeps the inner 
surfaces warm.  This design, along with a pre-heated 
‘airwash,’ makes clear fire viewing possible at most fir-
ing levels. 
Andirons Help Protect the Glass
Your stove has andirons to keep logs away from the 
glass panels. The andirons are essential to maintain 
clear fire viewing, and should be left permanently in 
place.  Since the andirons may slightly hinder refueling 
through the front doors, most stove owners will prefer 
the convenience of top loading through the griddle. Do 
not place fuel between the andirons and the doors. 
Burn Only High-Quality Wood
The Defiant is designed to burn natural wood only; do 
not burn fuels other than that for which it was designed.  
You’ll enjoy the best results when burning wood that 
has been adequately air-dried. The wood should be 
22-24” (559-610 mm) in length. Avoid burning “green” 
wood that has not been properly seasoned.  Do not 
burn construction materials;
 they often contain 
chemicals and metals that can damage the inside 
surfaces of the stove and pollute the air. Do not burn 
ocean driftwood; when it burns, the salt it contains will 
attack the cast iron. 
The best hardwood fuels include oak, maple, beech, 
ash, and hickory that has been split, stacked, and air-
dried outside under cover for at least one year.  
If hardwood is not available, you can burn softwoods 
that include tamarack, yellow pine, white pine, East-
ern red cedar, fir, and redwood.  These should also be 
properly dried.  
Store wood under cover to keep it dry.  The longer it is 
stored, the better heating and fire-viewing performance 
you will enjoy.  Even for short-term storage, be sure to 
keep wood a safe distance from the heater and keep 
it out of the areas around the heater used for refueling 
and ash removal. 
A Surface Thermometer is a Valuable 
Guide to Operation
An optional surface thermometer tells you when to ad-
just the air control, and when to refuel. (Fig. 32)
For example, when the thermometer registers at least 
450°F. (230°C) after start-up you know the stove is 
hot enough and it may be time to close the damper.  
Note that the stove will warm up much sooner than the 
chimney, though; a warm chimney is the key to easy, 
effective stove operation. Please review the draft man-
agement information on Page 26 to see how the size, 
type, and location of your chimney will affect your stove 
operation. When thermometer readings drop below 
350°F. (175°C) it’s time to adjust the air control for a 
higher burn rate or to reload the stove.  A temperature 
reading over 750°F. (385°C) is a sign to cut back on the 
air supply to slow the burn rate.

Fig. 32  Take temperature readings with a thermometer lo-
cated in the middle of the griddle.
Use the following temperature ranges as a guide:
• 
Readings in the 350°-500°F. (175°-260°C) range 
indicate low to medium heat output.  
• 
500°-600°F. (260°-315°C) readings indicate medium 
heat output.  
• 
Readings of 600°-750°F. (315-385°C) indicate high 
heat output.  Operating your Defiant continuously 
at griddle temperatures of 750° F. (385°C) or higher 
may damage the cast iron or enamel finish.
Use the Air Control Settings
 that Work Best for You
No single air control setting will fit every situation.  Each 
installation will differ depending on the quality of the 
fuel, the amount of heat desired, and how long you wish 
the fire to burn; outdoor air temperature and pressure 
also affect draft.   
The control setting also depends on your particular 
installation’s “draft,” or the force that moves air from the 
stove up through the chimney.  Draft is affected by such 
things as the length, type, and location of the chimney, 
local geography, nearby obstructions, and other factors. 
See Page 26 for details on how the installation affects 
performance.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in 
the Defiant, and could even damage the stove. On the 
other hand, too little draft can cause backpuffing into 
the room and/or the “plugging” of the chimney.
How do you know if your draft is excessively high or 
low?  Symptoms of too much draft include an uncontrol-
lable burn or a glowing-red stove part. Signs of weak 
draft are smoke leaking into the room through the stove 
or chimney connector joints or low heat output.
In some newer homes that are well-insulated and 
weather-tight, poor draft may result from an insufficient 
air supply in the house.  In such instances, an open
