Vermont Castings Intrepid Multi-Fuel
2000970
Once the draft is established, open the front door and 
light the rest of the fuel from the bottom. Do not light the 
main bed of fuel until the chimney begins drawing, and 
repeat the procedure as often as necessary if the initial 
attempt is unsuccessful.
4.  If your stove has been broken-in previously using 
Steps 1-3, continue to build the fire gradually. Add 
larger wood with a diameter of 76-102 mm (3-4”), as 
in Figure 23.
Continue adding split logs of this size to the briskly-
burning fire until there is a glowing ember bed at least 
76 mm (3”) deep. A good ember bed is necessary for 
proper functioning of the catalytic system and may take 
an hour or more to establish. 
5.  Close the damper when the griddle temperature 
reaches 230° C (450° F). 
6.  Adjust the air control for your desired heat output. 
WARNING: Operate your Intrepid Multi-fuel only 
with the doors either fully open or fully closed.
CAUTION:  The stove will be hot while in operation. 
Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact 
may cause skin burns.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER. 
Overfiring may 
cause a house fire, or can result in permanent dam-
age to the stove. If any part of the stove glows, you are 
overfiring.
Ash Disposal
Remove ash before it reaches the top of the ash pan. 
Check the level at least once a day, and before each 
refueling. If the ash is close to the top edge of the pan, 
empty it according to this procedure:
1.  Open the damper.
2.  Open the front doors fully.
3.  Using stove gloves, pull the ash pan out of the stove 
by its handle. 
4.  Remove the ash pan and properly dispose of the 
ashes. Be sure to keep the pan level during disposal.
5.  Return the ash pan to the stove.
Empty the ash pan regularly, typically every one to three 
days. The frequency will vary depending on how you 
operate your stove; if you burn more wood at higher 
heat output settings, ash will accumulate rapidly.
Remove ash frequently and place it outdoors in a metal 
container with a tight-fitting lid. Put the closed container 
of ash on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, 
well away from all combustible materials, pending final 
disposal. If the ash is disposed of by burial in soil or oth-
erwise locally dispersed, keep it in the closed container 
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. You can use 
wood ash as a garden fertilizer.
CAUTION: Never use your household or shop vacuum 
cleaner to remove ash from the stove; always remove 
and dispose of the ash properly.

Refuel While the Embers Are Still Hot
Reload the Intrepid Multi-Fuel while it is still hot and 
there are plenty of glowing embers to rekindle the fire. 
Include some smaller pieces of wood in the new load of 
fuel to help the stove rebuild its operating temperature 
quickly.
Wear stove gloves, and follow this procedure when you 
reload your stove:
1.  Open the thermostat lever.
2.  Open the damper.
3.  Check the ash level in the ash pan; empty, if neces-
sary, and replace the pan.
4.  Use the slicer/poker to freshen the coals. Position 
the coals in the middle of the firebox.
5.  Add fuel.
NOTE: If the remaining charcoal bed is relatively thick 
and if your fuel is well seasoned, it is possible to add 
fresh fuel (smaller pieces first), close the door and 
damper, and reset the primary air thermostat for the 
desired heat output.
Do not break the charcoal into very small pieces or 
pound or compress the charcoal bed. It is important 
that air can circulate under the wood for the fire to be 
quickly revived.
