INSTALLATION
InstallationOverview
Whenchoosingalocationforyournewstove,thereareamultitudeoffactorsthat
shouldbetakenintoaccountbeforebeginningtheinstallation.

1. TrafficPatterns–Tohelppreventaccidents,thestoveshouldbeplacedinalocation
whereitisoutofthewayofnormaltravelthroughthehome.

2. HeatFlow–Whendecidingonalocationforthestove,considerthewayheatmoves
throughoutyourhome.Installthestovewhereyouneedtheheat;basement
installationsoftendonotallowsufficientheattoflowtotheupperfloorsandatop
floorinstallationwillnotallowanyheattoreachthefloorsbelow.Alwaysconsider
thatheatrisesandwilltakethepathofleastresistancewhileitisstillhot.

3. ExhaustLocation–Theenginewhichdrivesawoodstoveisthechimneysystem,so
itisimportanttoconsiderpreciselyhowthechimneysystemwillbeintegratedinto
thestoveinstallation.Ideally,awoodstovechimneywillruncompletelyvertical
fromthefluecollaroftheunitallthewaytotheterminationpointabovetheroof
line.Keepingtheentirechimneysysteminsidetheheatedenvelopeofthehome
willensureastrong,easytoinitiatedraftinthechimney.Althoughexteriorchimney
systemsoftenfunctionproperly,theyaremorelikelytosufferfromcolddowndrafts
atstartuporprovideweakdrafttotheunit.Also,considerthecross‐sectionalarea
ofthechimney;althoughexistingmasonrychimneyscanoftenbeused,alarge
externalmasonrychimneywillresultinaunitthatisdifficultorimpossibleto
operateproperly.Inthatcase,aninsulatedchimneylinerwilloftenberequiredto
supplythenecessarydraft.

4. WallConstruction–Locatingthestovesothattheexhaustsystemcanpassbetween
studswillsimplifytheinstallationandeliminatetheneedtoreframeanysectionsof
thewallorceilingtoaccommodatethewallthimbleorceilingbox.
WARNING
Donotstoreorusegasolineorotherflammablevaporsandliquidsinthe
vicinityofthisoranyotherappliance.
DoNotOver‐fire–Ifanyexternalpartstartstoglow,youareover‐firing.
Reduceintakeairsupply.Over‐firingwillvoidyourwarranty.
Complywithallminimumclearancestocombustiblesasspecified.
Failuretocomplymayresultinahousefire.
Testedandapprovedforcordwoodonly.Burninganyotherfuelwill
voidyourwarranty.

VentingIntroduction
Thiswoodstoveoperatesona
naturaldraftsystem,inwhichthechimney
systempullsairthroughthestove.Thisunit
mustbeinstalledinaccordancewiththe
followingdetaileddescriptionsofventing
techniques;notinstallingthestovein
accordancewiththedetailslistedherecan
resultinpoorstoveperformance,property
damage,bodilyinjuryordeath.Avoid
make‐shiftcompromiseswheninstallingthe
ventingsystem.England’sStoveWorksis

manufacturer’sinstructions,particularlythe
requiredclearancestocombustibles.Also,
becertaintouseanatticradiationshieldto
preventinsulationfromcontactinga
chimneywhichpassesthroughanattic.
Thechimneysystemisthe“engine”
whichdrivesawoodstove,soitis
imperativeforproperunitfunctionthatthe
ventingsystembeinstalledexactlyas

RValueCalculation
Aneasymeansofdeterminingifaproposedalternatefloorprotectormeetsrequirementsis
tofollowthisprocedure:
1) ConvertspecificationtoR‐value:
iR‐valueisgiven–noconversionisneeded
ii k‐factorisgivenwitharequiredthickness(T)ininches:R=1/kxT
iii C‐factorisgiven:R=1/C
2) DeterminetheR‐valueoftheproposedalternatefloorprotector:
iUsethecorrectformulagiveninstep1(above)toconvertvaluesnotexpressedas
“R.”
ii Formultiplelayers,addR‐valuesofeachlayertodetermineoverallR‐value.
3) IftheoverallR‐valueofthesystemisgreaterthantheR‐valueofthespecifiedfloor
protector,thealternateisacceptable.
EXAMPLE:
Thespecifiedfloorprotectorshouldbe¾”thickmaterialwithak‐factorof0.84.The
proposedalternateis4”brickwithaC‐factorof1.25over1/8”mineralboardwithak‐
factorof0.29.
Step(a):UseformulaabovetoconvertspecificationtoR‐value.
R=1/kxT=1/0.84x.75=0.893
Step(b):CalculateRofproposedsystem.
4”brickofC=1.25,thereforeRbrick=1/C=1/1.25=0.80
1/8”mineralboardofk=0.29,thereforeRmin.bd.=1/0.29x0.125=0.431
TotalR=Rbrick+Rmineralboard=0.8+0.431=1.231
Step(c):CompareproposedsystemofRof1.231tospecifiedRof0.893.Sinceproposed
systemRisgreaterthanrequired,thesystemisacceptable.

OPERATION
Break‐InFires
Thiswoodburningunitisconstructedofheavygaugesteelandcastironandisbuilttolasta
longtime.However,inordertoensurenoexcessivethermalstressesareinducedonthemetal
duringthefirstfire,threebreak‐infiresshouldbeburned,eachoneslightlyhotterthanthelast.
Thesebreak‐infireswillnotonlyhelpthestovebodyacclimatetothehightemperaturesofthe
fire,butwillalsoslowlycurethehightemperaturestovepaint,whichwillensurethehigh
qualityfinishlastsforyears.
Thisstovehasasingleaircontrolrodwhichregulatesthewoodburnrate;whentheprimaryair
controlslideispulledallthewayoutoftheunit,thestovewillburnmoreslowlyandputout
heatoveralongertimeperiod.Conversely,whentheaircontrolslideispushedallthewayin,
theunitwillburnmorequicklyandputoutalargeramountofheatoverarelativelyshorter
timeperiod.Donotattempttomodifytherangeofaircontroladjustmentforanyreason.
Thefirstbreak‐infireshouldbejustalargekindlingfire,gettingthestovetoabout300°Fas
measuredbyamagneticthermometerontherightorleftsideofthestove,abovethedoor.
Oncethistemperaturehasbeenreached,allowthefiretodieoutwiththeaircontrolopen.The
secondandthirdbreak‐infiresshouldbeabitlarger,withsomesmalldrysplitsaddedtothe
kindlingload.Thetemperaturegoalduringthesefiresisabout350°F–450°F;don’tletthefire
gethotterthanthat.
ContinuousOperation
Afterthebreak‐infiresarecomplete,thisunitisreadyforcontinuousoperation.Whenburning
thestovecontinuously,donotallowashandcoalstoaccumulatehigherthan1.0”belowthe
dooropening.Excessivecoalingisoftenaresultofburningwoodattoohighaburnrate,and
thecoalbedshouldbeallowedtoburndownbeforereloadingthestovewithfreshwood.
Combustionairisdeliveredtothestoveattwolocations:Themajorityoftheprimary
combustionairentersthefireboxviatheair‐washsystemwhichkeepstheglasscleanandfeeds
theprimarycombustionflamesonthetopsurfacesofthewood;someprimarycombustionairis
bledoffintothecoalbedviableedholesinthebottomrailoftheair‐washsystem.Everyeffort
mustbetakentomaintaintheareainfrontoftheseholesfreeofash.
Whenloadingthestoveforalongtermburn,itismostusefultorakea“v”inthecenterofthe
coalbed,toallowtheprimaryairbleedholestopushairallthewaytotherearoftheunit.
Afterloadingthestovewithafullfireboxoffreshwood,itisimportanttooperatetheunitwith
theaircontrolinthefullopenpositiontoproperlycharthewoodloadanddriveofftheinitial
moistureinthefreshwood.Oncethewoodhasbeenproperlycharredandiscompletely
ignited,theaircontrolcanthenbesettothedesiredheatoutputlevel.
Intheeventofacreosoteorsootfire(chimneyfire),closetheaircontrolonthe
stove,contactthelocalfiredepartmentandgetout!Donotthrowwateronthefire!

OPERATION
England’sStoveWorks,Inc.alwaysrecommendstheuseofamagneticstovethermometer,so
thatthetemperatureoftheunitcanbemonitored.Whenusingamagneticstovethermometer,
locatethethermometerabovethedooroneithertheleftorrightsideofthestoveandusethe
followingtemperaturesasroughguidelinestodeterminetheburnrateandheatoutputlevelof
thestove:
oNormalwoodstoveoperationshouldoccurbetween350°F(177°C)and550°F(288°C),
with350°F(177°C)to450°F(232°C)beingalowtomediumheatoutputleveland450°F
(232°C)to550°F(288°C)beingamediumtohighheatoutputlevel.Operatingthestove
at600°F(316°C)wouldbeconsideredthemaximumcontinuousoperatingtemperature
permissibleandunitdamagemayresultfromoperatingatthathighofaburnratefor
extendedtimeperiods.Allowingtheunittoreach650°F(343°C)orhigherisdefinedas
over‐firingandwillresultinunitdamage.
Theoptionalroomairconvectionblowerwasdesignedtoextractthemaximumamountofheat
fromthestove,forthehighestpossibleheattransferintotheroom.Sincetheblowerisso
efficientatremovingheatfromtheunit,itisveryimportanttoonlyoperatetheroomairblower
afterafreshwoodloadhasbeenallowedtoburnforatleastthirty(30)minutes.Allowinga
freshloadofwoodtoburnwithoutthebloweronensuresthattheentireunitreachesproper
operationtemperaturesandthatthesecondarycombustionsystemisfunctioningproperly.
Additionally,followtheguidelinesbelowforacceptableblowerspeeds.

condenseintherelativelycoolchimneyflueofaslow‐burningfire.Asaresult,
creosoteresidueaccumulatesonthefluelining.Whenignited,thiscreosote
makesanextremelyhotfire.Thechimneyandchimneyconnectorshouldbe
inspectedatleastonceeverytwomonthsduringtheheatingseasonto
determineifacreosotebuilduphasoccurred.Ifcreosotehasaccumulated,it

OPERATION
AdditionalSafetyGuidelines
Theinstallationofsmokedetectorsishighlyrecommendedwheninstallingthisoranyother
solidfuelburningappliance.Smokedetectorsshouldbelocatednearorineveryroomofthe
home,particularlysleepingrooms.
Asmokedetectorcanbeinstalledinthesameroomasthiscordwoodburningunit;installingthe
smokedetectortooclosetotheunitcanleadtonuisancealarmsduetoslightwispsofsmoke
emittedduringthefirestartingorreloadingprocess.Duetothis,thesmokedetectorinthe
sameroomastheunitwillbemostusefulifitislocatedasfarfromtheunitastheroomwill
permit.
Thisstoveismeantforburningcordwoodonly;neverburnpressuretreatedwood,kilndried
wood,creosotetreatedwood(railroadties),icecoveredorwetwood,greenwood,driftwood,
charcoal,coal,cokeorANYotherfuel.
Burningfuelsotherthancordwood,particularlycoalandcharcoal,canresultinhazardous
concentrationsofcarbonmonoxidebeingemittedintothedwelling.Installingacarbon
monoxidedetectorandbeingawareofthesymptomsofcarbonmonoxidepoisoningcanhelp
reducetheriskofcarbonmonoxiderelatedissues.Forthesereasons,NEVERburncoalor
charcoalinthiscordwoodstove.
Thisunitwasdesignedforoperationonlywiththeloadingdoorclosedandtightlylatched.
Operatingthisunitwiththeloadingdoorlatchedlooselyoropenwillallowexcessive
combustionairtoreachthefireandwillresultindangerouslyhighunittemperatures.Highunit
temperaturescandamagetheunit,voidthewarrantyorignitecreosotedepositedinthe
chimneysystembyprevious,slowburningfires.
Thenaturaldraftthatpullsairthroughthisunitandallowsthefiretoburnusestheindoorairof
thedwellingforcombustion,unlesstheunitisconnectedtoanoutsidecombustionairsource.
Kitchenrangeventhoods,furnacesandotherairmovementappliancesinthehomeareoften
alsoremovingairfromthedwelling;iftheamountofairfiltrationorleakagebackintothehome
isexceededbytheairbeingremoved,negativepressuremaybecreatedinthehome.
Sincethisisanaturaldraftappliance,itwilloftenbethefirstappliancetohaveproblemsrelated
tonegativepressure.Ifsmokeisforcedoutthechimneyconnectorjointsoroutoftheair
inductionsystemoftheunit,theunitislikelyfightingnegativepressureinthedwelling.
Crackingawindowordoorneartheappliancecanhelpequalizethenegativepressure;
ultimately,anunrestrictedsourceofoutsidecombustionmaybenecessaryforproperunit
function.
Iftheunitisconnectedtooutsideair,becertaintomonitortheexteriorinlettothecombustion
systemforicingorsnowaccumulation.Allowingtheoutsideairconnectiontobecome
restrictedwillresultinairstarvationtotheunit.

MAINTENANCE
DailyMaintenance
Inspectthefireboxforashaccumulation;removeexcessashandfollowinstructions
belowregardingdisposal.Ashshouldnotbeallowedtoaccumulateinthestovetothe
pointthatitcoversthecoalbedairinlets.
MonthlyMaintenance
Checktheblowerfordustaccumulation(ifinstalled);checkthedoorhandleforproper
operationandtobecertainanairtightsealisstillbeingmadebythedoor.
Inspectthechimneysystemandchimneyconnectorandsweepifnecessary.Although
cleaningmayberequiredlessthanmonthly,ALWAYSinspecttheventingsystem
monthlytodecreasethechanceofachimneyfire.
Visuallyinspectthevermiculiteinsulatingboardsinthefireboxforcracksand/or
breakage.Slightsurfacecrackswillnotaffecttheperformanceoftheboards,but
crackedorcrumblingboardsshouldbereplacedimmediately.
Visuallyinspectthesecondarycombustiontubesforcracks,warpingandcorrosion.
Althoughthesetubesareconstructedfromstainlesssteel,theyoperateatveryhigh
temperaturesandcaneventuallywearoutfromnormaluse.
YearlyMaintenance
Checkallgaskets(windowanddoor)forwearandtobecertaintheystillmaintainan
airtightseal.Seethefollowingpageforinstructions.
Thoroughlycleanthechimneysystemandthechimneyconnectorsystem.Sincethe
