If your wood hisses and water or vapour escapes at the ends of the piece, your wood is 
soaked or freshly cut.  Do not use this wood in your stove.  Large amounts of creosote could 
be deposited in your chimney, creating potential conditions for a chimney fire. 
 
THE FIRST FIRES 
The fresh paint on your stove needs to be cured to preserve its quality. Once the fuel charge 
is properly ignited, only burn small fires in your stove for the first four hours of operation. 
Never open the air control more than necessary to achieve a medium burn rate. 
Make sure that there’s enough air circulation while curing the stove.  The odours could be 
smelled during the 3 or 4 first fires.  Never start your stove outside.  You will not be able to 
see if you are over heating. 
 
IGNITION 
 
After making sure that the stove air intake controls are fully open, place several rumpled 
sheets of paper in the centre of the combustion chamber.  Place 8 to 10 pieces of small dry 
kindling wood over the paper in the form of a tent.  You may also place a few pieces of 
heating wood, but choose the smaller ones. No chemical product should be used to light the 
fire. 
Before igniting the paper and kindling wood, it is recommended that you warm up the 
chimney.  This is done in order to avoid back draft problems often due to negative pressure in 
the house.  If such is the case, open a window slightly near the stove and twist together a few 
sheets of newspaper into a torch.  Light up this paper torch and hold it as close as possible to 
the mouth of the pipe inside the combustion chamber to warm up the chimney. Once the 
updraft movement is initiated, you are ready to ignite the stove by lighting the paper and 
kindling wood inside the combustion chamber. 
We therefore advise you to leave the door slightly opened (1/4") for a 10 to 30 minutes 
period, under supervision, in order to allow for good combustion.  After this time, you must 
close the door and progressively adjust the air control to obtain the desired temperature. 
HEATING 
Controlled combustion is the most efficient technique for wood heating because it enables 
you to select the type of combustion you want for each given situation.  The wood will burn 
slowly if the wood stove air intake control is adjusted to reduce the oxygen supply in the 
combustion chamber to a minimum.  On the other hand, wood will burn quickly if the air 
control is adjusted to admit a larger quantity of oxygen in the combustion chamber.   
 
Real operating conditions may give very different results than those obtained in the lab 
according to the species of wood used, it's moisture content, the size and density of the 
pieces, the length of the chimney, altitude and outside temperature.
