Water Reservoir
This section pertains to the water holding tank on the side of
the stove and applies only to reservoir models.
The reservoir has a porcelain enamel top and lid. The lid lifts
The reservoir has a porcelain enamel top and lid. The lid lifts
open and will rest at an open position, or can be removed
entirely.
The tank in the reservoir is made of copper, for easy cleaning
The tank in the reservoir is made of copper, for easy cleaning
and the seams are soldered with lead free solder. The tank
has a 5 gallon (18.9L) capacity with a spigot mounted on the
side, for easy access to the water.
Water must be added manually, the tank is not connected
Water must be added manually, the tank is not connected
to your plumbing.
To route heat around the reservoir, open the reservoir damper
To route heat around the reservoir, open the reservoir damper
(turn handle to the right). Vertical position of the handle means
that the reservoir damper is closed, and no heat is passing
under the copper tank. Horizontal position of the handle
means that the reservoir damper is open and more heat is
circulating under the copper tank.
The water in the reservoir can be heated from luke warm to
The water in the reservoir can be heated from luke warm to
boiling hot depending on how you are burning the stove, the
position of the water reservoir and the oven dampers.
The reservoir damper is ‘downstream’ from the oven damper
The reservoir damper is ‘downstream’ from the oven damper
which means that if the oven damper is open, the flu gases
are not circulating around the oven and therefore not past
the reservoir either, so the water in the reservoir will not get
as hot as when the oven damper is closed.
Helpful Hint: When lighting your stove from cold or when
the stove is relatively cool remember the water in the reservoir
will be at the same temperature.
The cold water will tend to absorb the heat that you are
The cold water will tend to absorb the heat that you are
attempting to use to heat the chimney to start the stove. Close
the reservoir damper during this period.
The same theory applies when heating the oven. If the water
The same theory applies when heating the oven. If the water
reservoir damper is open, the valuable heat you are trying
to heat the oven with will be absorbed by the mass of cool
water in the reservoir. Close the water reservoir damper
during this period.
Woodstove heat is very dry and the water in the reservoir will
Woodstove heat is very dry and the water in the reservoir will
add much needed moisture to your home. The warm water
can be used for bathing, dishes or other clean up needs.
Always ensure water is in the tank when the stove is in
Always ensure water is in the tank when the stove is in
operation. If the reservoir runs dry the soldering may melt
away from the joints, resulting in leakage.
