Successful Wood Burning
Burning wood and coal is often said to be more of an
art than a science. You will easily master the art if you
start by using good, dry fuel and by understanding how
the stove’s air supply system operates.

Burn Only High-Quality Fuel
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only (or
coal, when the catalytic combustor has been removed
and the optional coal kit installed). Do not burn fuels
other than those for which this heater was designed.
Never burn pressure-treated wood, painted or stained
wood, or glossy newsprint.

Never burn pressure-treated wood, painted or stained

High efficiencies and low emissions are possible when
burning air-dried, seasoned woods as compared to
softwoods or freshly cut hardwoods. Avoid burning
“green” wood that has not been properly seasoned.

“green” wood that has not been properly seasoned.
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, tamarack, yellow pine, white
pine, Eastern red cedar, fir, and redwood are softwoods
that are commonly burned. They too should be prop-
erly dried. The length of the wood should be the same
as that specified for your particular stove. Avoid using
wood that has been dried more than two years. Often
gray in color, this wood burns very quickly, resulting in
short burn time and diminished stove performance. If
you must burn it, mix it in with greener wood to slow the
burn. The length of the wood should be 23” (580mm).

When burning coal with the combustor removed, we
recommend that you use only premium grade anthra-
cite. Three sizes of coal are commonly burned: pea
coal, a very small size averaging 3/8” to 3/4” (10-
20mm); nut coal, a medium size of 3/4” to 1

NOTE: Coal may be burned in the Sequoia only when
the 8” (200mm) flue collar is used, and then only with
optional coal kit #5531 installed.

Both wood and coal should be stored under cover to
maintain dryness. Even for short-term storage, keep
wood and coal a safe distance from the heater and
keep it out of the areas around heater used for refueling
and ash removal.

Use the Air Control Settings
that Work Best for You
No single combination of control settings 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.
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.
Control settings also depend 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 height, type, and location of the chimney,
local geography, nearby obstructions, and other factors.

Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in
the stove. On the other hand, too little draft can cause
backpuffing into the room and/or the “plugging” of the
chimney and catalytic burner.

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 part of the stove or chimney
connector. A sign of inadequate draft is smoke leaking
into the room through the stove or chimney connector
joints.

joints.
In some newer homes that are well-insulated and
weather-tight, poor draft may result from insufficient air
in the house. In such instances, an open window near
the stove on the windward side of the house will
provide the fresh air needed.

Another option for getting more combustion air to the
stove is to duct air directly from the outside to the stove.
In fact, in some areas provisions for outside combustion
air are required in all new construction.

Your Sequoia is designed to incorporate outside

air duct may be found in the Assembly section.

When first using the stove, keep a record of the results
you achieve from different control settings. You will find
that specific control settings will give you a fixed
amount of heat. It may take a week or two to determine
the amount of heat and the length of burn you should
expect from various control settings.

Most installations do not require a large amount of
combustion air, especially if adequate draft is available.
Do not for any reason attempt to increase the firing
of your heater by altering the air control adjustment
range outlined in these directions.
