BURN RECOMMENDED FUEL 

This appliance is approved for use with untreated natural 

dry wood only (see Important Warnings, page 2, #8).  Do 

not burn particleboard scraps or pressed logs using 

bonding agents because they can produce conditions 

which will deteriorate metal. Green or uncured wood does 

not work well as fuel, and can cause increased creosote 

buildups. The value of green wood as a source of heat is 

limited. Do not overload or use kindling wood or mill ends 

as primary fuel as this may cause overfiring. Overfiring is 

a condition where excessive temperatures are reached, 

beyond the design capabilities of the stove. The damage 

that occurs from overfiring is not covered under the stove 

warranty.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING – EARLY  SIGNS 

 

The key to the success of a good fire that produces heat 

from a woodstove is the wood. It needs to be well-seasoned 

natural wood. 

 

What does “Well-Seasoned” mean?  When a tree is cut 

down, the wood is green, full of sap and moisture. This 

moisture content can exceed 80%, which must be reduced 

to less than 20%. Wood properly seasoned is then capable 

of generating the heat the stove was designed to provide.  

Green wood does not burn easily.  Attempting to burn green 

wood often results in a lot of smoke and very little fire. Time 

is the most important factor in seasoning wood.  Ideally the 

moisture content should be reduced to 11-20%, although 

very few of us will be able to check that figure.  There are 

several steps that should be taken to ensure that that you 

come close to these figures. 

Softwoods – 6 months to 18 months 

Hardwoods – 12 months to 24 months 

Logs that are 5” (127 mm) diameter across or larger should 

be split in half, three pieces if over 8 inches (203 mm), and 

four pieces when over a foot (305 mm) across.  If the tree 

fell 2 to 4 years ago, it still needs to be cut, split, and sea-

soned for 6 to 24 months depending on the wood. 

Wood to be seasoned should be stacked in an area open 

enough to ensure good air circulation on both sides – leav-

ing adequate space between woodpiles to walk comfort-

able.  Do not stack wood against a wall or building.  It helps 

to elevate the woodpiles off the ground (two 2 x 4’s running 

lengthwise beneath the woodpile works well). This allows 

air to flow under the bottom logs. Wood that is kept out-

doors, either covered with a tarp, or not covered at all, will 

not burn well until it has been in an enclose space for one to 

two months. 

The stove body is painted with a quality high-temperature 

stove paint. Use only model TSPK-B Stove Paint, Catalog 

# 70K99. Do not touch-up your stove with any other paint. 

 

Using one small piece of 320 grit sand paper and lightly 

sand the blemish so that the edges are “feathered” or 

smooth to the touch between the painted and bare sur-

faces. Do not let the sand paper gum up with paint, as 

this will cause scratches on the metal surface. If there are 

any scratches, use 600 grit sandpaper instead. Mask off 

surfaces you do not want painted. Paint lightly over the 

bare surface first as this will act as an undercoat. Then 

paint over a larger area in smooth even strokes to blend.  

 

ASH REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL 

 
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRE IS OUT AND 

FROM FIREBOX!  
 

Ashes can hold live embers for several days, and must 

be disposed of with care.  

 

NEVER place ashes in a cardboard box or any other 

combustible receptacle.  

 

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight 

fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed 

on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away 

from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If 

the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or other wise 

locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed 

container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
