Fig. 28  Top loading is the best way to add fuel during regular 
use. Front loading is useful for kindling a fire.
In addition, however, the front doors open as well for 
adding an occasional log to a fire.  The Defiant NC is 
not approved for operation in Europe with the front 
doors open.
To open the front doors, insert the handle into the door 
latch stub and turn it to the left and up. (Fig. 29) 
To close them, always close the left door first.  Turn the 
handle in the right door to the left and up (to the open 
position) and close it.  Finally, push on the door as you 
turn the handle to the right and down.  The doors will 
draw in slightly, and the handle should offer some resis-
tance as you turn it to the closed position. 
To reduce the risk of breaking the glass, avoid striking 
the glass or slamming the doors.
When you are not using the door handle, store it in the 
holder behind the right front leg of the stove. Be careful 
to not drop the handle, since it is breakable.

This stove is designed to operate efficiently with 
the fire doors (front doors and griddle) closed. The 
firebox and ash doors should be kept closed at all 
times except when refueling or removing ashes.
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 
559-610 mm (22-24”) 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. 30)

Fig. 30  Take temperature readings with a thermometer lo-
cated in the middle of the griddle.
For example, when the thermometer registers at least 
230° C (450° F) 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, ef-
fective stove operation. Please review the draft man-
