Remove ash plug andclean the plug and surrounding area,then re-seat the plug into the bottomof the stove.The air control may havebeen left open, allowing thefire to burn fasterOnce the fireplace has reachedoptimum temperature, adjust theprimary air control to maintainoptimum burn.Soft, rotten and extremelydry wood will burn quickly.As much as possible use a dense andseasoned wood, preferably at 15-20% moisture content. If necessarymix newer, less seasoned wood withfuel that may be burning too fast.An overly tall chimney maycreate an excessive draft,which will increase thespeed of the burn.Although stove pipe dampers arenot recommended in today’s EPACertified units, it is possible to installa chimney damper in the pipe at aheight of 18” above the flue of theunit. This will restrict the flue gassesand help decrease the speed of theburn.CAUTIONIf the body of your unit starts to glow, you are overfiringthe unit. STOP loading fuel immediately and close thedraft control until the glow has completely subsided.Symptom Possible Cause SolutionTROUBLE SHOOTING |
