We recommend the goldilocks and the 3 bears method: small fire, medium
fire, hot fire. This can be done in one session, rather than three separate fires.
We have illustrated the tee pee method, but you can also use the top down
method, illustrated later in this manual.
Simple guide to your first fire
read this manual and a warnings carefuy
The A, B & C of lighting your 1st stove fire are:
A = air control
B = burn dry wood
C = cure paint carefully
prepare a sma kindling fire
• place one or two firelighters in the centre, kindling over
the top, light the fire, close the stove door
• open air control fully
• ventilate room
• maintain this SMALL FIRE for 15 minutes
• this warms up the stove components gently to prevent
the paint from being “shocked”
medium fire
• add a few split logs
• maintain medium fire for one hour
• close air control by approx. 10mm when burning well,
use air control tool for guidence
• aim to raise the surface temp to 450°F/230°C
hot fire
• add additional wood
• adjust control to allow additional air flow to achieve a hot fire
• aim to achieve 600°F/315°C
• maintain hot fire for one hour

Important - read before first fire
The painted surface must be cured or set properly during your first fire.
We use a high temperature stove paint on all of our stoves. It is extremely important
that the paint is cured properly the first time that you light the stove. This is done to
ensure the paint finish will be able to withstand the high temperatures needed. Curing
is done by following the three step process on the facing page. If this process is not
completed properly you may experience issues with the paint. Be aware that curing will
cause a very slight colour change, the hotter areas will change colour the soonest, pay
extra attention to the curing of lighter colours.
We want your penguin to be perfect, so give it the attention it deserves!
To Set / Cure the Paint
Once this initial process has been completed, the paint will be properly cured and you
can operate your stove normally according to the instructions provided in this manual.
If any problems arise with the painted surface of the stove, this is a result of incorrect
curing or misuse of the stove such as over fuelling or running the stove too hot.
Therefore any problems with the painted surface are not covered by your warranty.
This penguin is a living, breathing, hard working appliance. Expect to touch up the
painted surface occasionally over its lifetime.
Note: During the final higher temperature burn phase there may be some visible smoke
near the stove surface. There may also be an unpleasant odour. To mitigate this eect,
ventilate the room with open windows and doors to provide airflow.
Health warning: The smoke from the curing process displaces oxygen. Small children,
the elderly and people with existing breathing problems should vacate the area during
the hot burn to avoid discomfort. The smoke is primarily Carbon Dioxide, it is non-toxic
but can feel uncomfortable.
You’ve bought an amazing stove,
let it be amazing
