Use these guidelines to find out if the firewood is dry enough to burn:
− Cracks form at the ends of logs as they dry;
− The wood turns from white or cream colored to grey or yellow;
− Two pieces of wood struck together sounds hollow;
− Dry wood is much lighter in weight than wet wood,
− The face of a fresh cut feels warm and dry;
− The moisture content read by a moisture meter is between
15% to 20%.
4. Stove Operation
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It
is against federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a
manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
4.1
Using a Blower
Figure 1: Air flow with a blower
The blower has a rheostat that can be adjusted in three
different positions; either from high (HI) to low (LO) or
closed (OFF).
Allow
the
stove
(approximately one hour) before turning on the blower,
since increased airflow from the blower will remove heat
and affect the start up combustion efficiency.
The blower can also be equipped with a heat sensor,
sold seperatly. When the blower is ON, it will start
automatically when the stove is hot enough and it will
stop when the stove has cooled down. Therefore, the
blower speed control can be left at the desired setting.

It is possible to install a blower on this stove. The blower
is optional and is sold separatly.
The blower is installed on the back of the stove to increase
airflow through the heat exchanger and improve hot air
circulation in the room. When used regularly, the blower can
provide a small increase in efficiency, up to 2%. However,
the use of a blower should not be used as a way to gain
more output from a stove that is undersized for the space
it is intended to heat.

Ensure the blower cord is not in contact
with any surface of the stove to prevent
electrical shock or fire damage. Do not run
cord beneath the stove.
