Introducing Your
Shelburne Wood Stove
Congratulations! You have just invested in a
most unique wood burning stove – the
Shelburne wood burning stove from
HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products
Inc®. The Shelburne Model -8370 is one of the
cleanest burning EPA certified, non-catalytic
wood burning stoves. At 2.0 cubic feet capacity
and 2 grams per hour particulate you can be
proud to join the HearthStone family with our
Premier Wood Burning Stove. The generous
depth allows for straight in loading of wood
through the front up to 19 inches long!
Your purchase insures years of clean,
comfortable heat with minimal maintenance.
You will receive the benefits of the most
advanced technology in wood burning without
the cost and maintenance requirements of a
catalytic stove. The Shelburne blends modern
technology with the unique beauty of cast iron.
We trust that you will appreciate the quality of
our handcrafted product.
Please read this manual in its entirety. Its
purpose is to familiarize you with your stove's
safe installation, proper break-in, operation and
maintenance. It contains information that will
be useful to you now and in years to come, so
keep it handy and refer to it as needed.
Use these instructions as well as national, state,
and local building codes to install your stove.
Be sure to maintain the designated stovepipe
and stove clearances to walls, ceilings, hearth,
and other combustible surfaces. This will help
reduce the risk of fire. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in property damage,
bodily injury, and even death.
Locate your stove in a safe, convenient, open
area; away from traffic flow, doors, and
hallways; and near a chimney and chimney
connector. Review the proper clearance
measurements from combustible surfaces. You
can safely reduce required clearances in most
cases with a special connector pipe and special
wall coverings as specified by this manual, the
NFPA 211 codes, and your local authorities
having jurisdiction.
Keep furniture, drapes, curtains, wood, paper,
and other combustibles far away from the stove.
Never install the stove in a location where
gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or
other flammable liquids are used or stored.
The walls of a Hearthstone stove produce an
even, radiant heat. Locate the stove centrally in
your living area to allow the heat to travel
naturally to distant rooms. Do not locate your
stove in an uninsulated basement. The amount
of radiant energy required to heat concrete
basement walls is so great that most of the
usable heat is absorbed by them and lost.
SAFETY NOTICE:
A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT IF THIS
STOVE IS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, CAREFULLY
FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION
DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL
BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION
INSPECTION IN YOUR AREA.

cardboard, coal, garbage or driftwood.
Especially, do not burn coal in this stove.
Never Use gasoline type fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or other liquid fuels or
solid fire starters to start or invigorate the
fire. These fuels can possibly generate
carbon monoxide, which can sap the supply
of oxygen. Keep all such materials away
from the stove.
Never use the stove if the ash pan is loose,
not in place, or if the ash grate is open.
Never use a wood grate or other device to
elevate the fire.

Keep all combustible items such as
furniture, drapes, clothing, and other items,
at least 36" (0.92 m) from the stove (See
page 11)
Install a smoke detector.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy. We
recommend the type rated "A B C."
Dispose of ashes properly. (See page 22)
Keep children and pets away from the stove;
they could be burned by touching a hot
stove.
Clean your system as needed. (See page 23)
PERIODIC CHECKLIST
Perform each of these tasks at the specified
intervals.
At the End of Every Week:
Empty ashes from the firebox and ash pan,
sooner if the firebox or the ash pan begins to
fill up.
At the Beginning of Every Month:
Visually inspect chimney connector and
chimney for creosote; clean accordingly.
At the Beginning of Every Other Month:
A visual inspection of the chimney
connector and chimney for creosote is
recommended depending upon your use of
the stove. (Refer to page 17 – Creosote
Formation and Need For Removal)
Check door seals using the "dollar bill test."
- When the fire is out and the stove is cool,
shut the door on a dollar bill. If the bill pulls
out without any resistance, then your stove’s
door isn't sealed properly. To tighten the
seal, change the door gasket. (Refer to page
18 – Gaskets)
At the End of Every Season:
Dismantle the chimney connector and clean
it thoroughly. Replace any pieces that show
signs of rust or deterioration.
Inspect and, if necessary, clean your
chimney.
Thoroughly clean out the inside of the stove.
Inspect all door gasket material and replace
if worn, frayed, cracked or extremely hard.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Once the chimney fire has expired, leave the
primary air control closed and let the fire in the
stove die out completely. The stove should not
be fired again until the stove, stovepipe, and
chimney are all thoroughly inspected for any
sign of damage. You must correct any damage
before using your stove again.
If you have a stovepipe or chimney fire, follow
these instructions:
1. If the fire is too threatening, leave the area
and call the fire department immediately! If
not, perform the next three steps.
2. Close the primary air control.

3. Close the stovepipe damper (if present).
4. Keep the stove front, side and ash doors
closed!
▌WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUT OUT A
STOVEPIPE OR CHIMNEY FIRE BY
THROWING WATER ONTO THE
STOVE, STOVEPIPE, OR CHIMNEY.
THE EXTREMELY HIGH
TEMPERATURE ASSOCIATED WITH
SUCH FIRES CAN CAUSE INSTANT
ANEOUS STEAM AND SERIOUS
BODILY HARM.
HearthStone’s Thermo-Ceramic Baffle System
To enhance the combustion efficiency and reduce the emissions of the fire in your stove HearthStone QHHP, Inc.
has developed an advanced THERMO-CERAMIC baffle system. This system uses a lightweight, durable ceramic
material above the burner tubes to maintain the high temperatures in the secondary combustion area and
maintain the low emission – high efficiency combustion you desire. This new technology will not corrode, rust
dissolve or lose its strength, however it is vulnerable to puncture or cracking due to rough handling.
PLEASE EXERCISE CARE WHEN LOADING WOOD OR CLEANING YOUR STOVE,
NOT TO DAMAGE THE Thermo-Ceramic BAFFLE
Located directly above the burner tubes in the firebox, this white sheet of material will break if wood or cleaning
brushes impact it. Be careful when loading and cleaning your stove to not break this material. If this piece has
been fractured or a hole is punctured, it will cause the stove to function improperly. You must replace the board
through a qualified HearthStone dealer.

Setting Up Your
Shelburne Wood Stove
UNPACKING
HearthStone Stoves packages your Shelburne
stove with the greatest care, so that it ships
safely. Under certain circumstances, however,
damage can occur during transit and handling.
When you receive your stove, unpack it
carefully, inspecting your stove and all parts for
damage. Also, make sure that all parts are
included in the box. If any parts are damaged or
missing, please contact your dealer
immediately.
INSTALLING YOUR STOVE
First you must decide where your stove will
reside. After choosing an appropriate spot,
inspect this location to make sure that the stove
will have enough clearance to combustible
materials that would surround the stove. These
combustibles can include walls, floor, ceiling,
fireplace, and chimney. You must carefully
consider the clearances to all of these
combustibles before actually connecting your
stove. When considering these clearances, also
decide the kind of floor the stove will rest on.
Depending on your floor, you can install your
stove as it is, or use a floor protector.
Please use this section to plan how to locate
your stove in your particular location. Consider
both the clearances of the stovepipe and the
stove itself to the surrounding combustibles.
Read this chapter to obtain a sound
understanding of how to properly install your
stove.
If you use a close clearance connector pipe, it
must be tested to UL standards and listed.
Check the listing for your pipe for actual
clearances. The diagrams in this manual
represent typical installations, but are specific to
the Simpson Dura-Vent DVL brand. Clearances
cannot be reduced without the use of close
clearance connector pipe and/or by protecting the
surfaces per NFPA 211 standards.
CLEARANCES TO NFPA 211
PROTECTED SURFACES
You can reduce the clearances to combustible
surfaces by using any National Fire Protection
Agency (NFPA) approved wall protection
system. Please refer to NFPA 211 for
specifications and complete details. You can
obtain this information directly from NFPA.

HEARTH REQUIREMENTS AND FLOOR
PROTECTION
Install your stove on one of the following:
A floor protector with an R-value of 0.8 or
more that you obtain from your dealer. A
floor protector is any noncombustible
surface laid on the floor underneath the
stove that extends, 16 inches -US (46 cm -
CA) beyond the front door and 8 inches (203
mm) beyond each side of the fuel loading
and ash removal opening(s).
For horizontal chimney connector installations,
the floor protection must be installed beneath
the connector and 2” beyond each side. To
determine the R-value of the proposed alternate
floor protector, do one of the following:
If the R-value is given, use that value—
no conversion is needed.
If a K-factor is given with a required
thickness (T) in inches, use this formula:
R-value = 1/K x T
If a C-factor is given, use the formula:
R-value = 1/C
To determine the R-value of the proposed
alternate floor protector:
Use either the K-factor or the C-factor
formula explained above to convert
specifications not expressed as R-values.
For multiple layers of floor protectors,
simply add the R-values of each layer to
determine the overall R-value of the
layers.
If the overall R-value of your setup is greater
than the R-value of the specified floor protector,
then your setup is acceptable.
MINIMUM FLOOR PROTECTOR SIZE
AND STOVE TO EDGE CLEARANCES
OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY
An outside air source may be connected
directly to this stove using an optional outside
air kit (HearthStone part #93-53700). The
advantage of providing outside air directly to
the stove is that the air used by the stove for
combustion is taken from outside of the
residence rather than from within the room
where the stove is located. With outside air
supplied directly to the stove, drafts within the
room and air infiltration within the building are
reduced. Use of the outside air kit may also
improve stove performance in a particularly
airtight house.
The outside air kit for this stove allows
for the direct connection of the stove's air intake
to a minimum 3" (76 mm) diameter duct
(supplied by others) which leads to the outside
of the house. When considering placement of
the duct from the outside of the house to the
hearth, keep in mind the need to avoid structural
members of the house. The termination of the
duct on the outside wall of the house should be
located in such a manner so as to preclude the
possibility of obstruction by snow, leaves or
other material and should be screened against
animals and insects.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE
Single wall connector is 24 MSG or 25
MSG blued steel stovepipe.
Double wall connector (close clearance pipe)
which must be used with a listed factory-built
“Type HT" chimney and may also be used
with a masonry chimney to reduce
clearances, is available from several
manufacturers, your dealer can help you
choose. Some air insulated connector pipe
models available are Simpson Dura Vent
DVL and Metalbestos DS. Security, GSW
and Ameritec also have acceptable close
clearance connector pipe.
When used in a mobile home, a spark arrester
is required. (See page 16)
Chimney connector shall not pass through
floor or ceiling, nor any attic or roof space,
closet or similar concealed space. Where
passage through a wall or partition of
combustible construction is desired, the
installation shall conform to NFPA 211 or
CAN/CSA - B365.
It is very important to follow minimum
clearances for chimney connectors to
combustibles such as walls and ceilings when
installing the stove near non-combustible
surfaces. Typical chimney connector
clearances are outlined below. The single
wall clearances are generic; the Double wall

VENTING COMPONENTS AND CONFIGURATION
COMPONENTS OF A VENTING SYSTEM
The complete venting system consists of several
components: chimney connector, wall thimble,
wall pass-through, chimney, and liner. It is
absolutely necessary that you install all of these
components within the clearances to
combustibles discussed earlier to install your
stove safely.
To protect against the possibility of a house fire,
you must properly install and constantly
maintain the venting system. Upon inspection,
immediately replace rusted, cracked, or broken
components.
The chimney connector is the stovepipe
from the woodstove to the chimney. The
chimney connector stovepipe must be 6"
(152 mm) diameter, 24 MSG or 25 MSG
blued steel connector pipe. Do not use
aluminum or galvanized steel pipe - they
cannot withstand the extreme temperatures
of a wood fire.
A thimble is a manufactured (or site-
constructed) device installed in combustible
walls through which the chimney connector
passes to the chimney. It keeps the walls
from igniting. You must use a wall thimble
when installing a chimney connector
through a combustible wall to the chimney.
A wall pass-through (or chimney support
package) also keeps the walls from igniting.
You must use one when connecting through
a wall or ceiling to a prefabricated chimney.
Only install this stove to a lined masonry
chimney or an approved high temperature
prefabricated residential type building
heating appliance chimney. Do not connect
this stove to a chimney serving another
appliance; you will compromise the safe
operation of both the wood stove and the
connected appliance.
▌WARNING:
DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO ANY
AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
A liner is the UL 1777 or ULC S635 (for
factory built fireplace or masonry) chimney.
You must connect your stove to a chimney
comparable to those recommended in this
manual. Do not use stovepipe as a chimney.
Use stovepipe for freestanding installations only
to connect the stove to a proper chimney.
INSTALLING A VENTING SYSTEM
Stovepipe sections must be attached to the stove
and to each other with the crimped end toward
the stove. If creosote builds up, this allows the
creosote to run into the stove and not the outside
of the stovepipe and onto the stove.
Secure all joints, including attaching the
stovepipe to the stove's flue collar, with three
sheet metal screws. Install #10 x 1/2" (3 mm x
13 mm) sheet metal screws into the holes pre-
drilled in the flue collar. Leaving off the screws
can cause joints to separate from the vibration
that results from a creosote chimney fire.
You can simplify connecting stovepipe by using
additional accessories such as telescoping pipes,
slip-connectors or clean-out tees. These
accessories ease the inspection of your chimney,
as well as allow you to easily dismantle the
stovepipe (without moving the stove) when you
periodically inspection the stovepipe connection
and chimney.

Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc ® Model 8370
14
Install the stove as close as practical to the
chimney, while maintaining all proper
clearances. Install stovepipe that is as short and
as straight as possible. Horizontal runs of
stovepipe should always rise away from the
stove a minimum of 1/4" per foot (21mm/m).
Long runs of stovepipe to increase heat
dispersal are not recommended. Using longer
lengths of stovepipe or more connecting elbows
than necessary increase the chances of draft
resistance and the accumulation of creosote
buildup.
In general, you do not need to install a stovepipe
damper with the Shelburne. Some installations,
however, could benefit from a stovepipe
damper, such as a tall chimney which can create
a higher than normal draft. In such cases, a
damper can help regulate the draft. The
Shelburne requires a draft between 0.06" wc and
0.1" wc. For drafts above 0.1" wc, install a
stovepipe damper.
Remember, the NFPA has recommended,
minimum clearances for chimney connectors to
combustibles such as walls and ceilings. Once
the stove is installed at safe distances from these
combustible surfaces, it is important to maintain
these connector clearances for the remainder of
the installation.
CONNECTING YOUR WOOD STOVE
You can install your Shelburne to a
prefabricated metal chimney or a masonry
chimney.
CONNECTING TO A PREFABRICATED
METAL CHIMNEY
When connecting the Shelburne to a
prefabricated metal chimney, you must follow,
precisely, the manufacturer's installation
instructions. Use only Type HT (2100 deg. F),
prefabricated metal chimneys listed per UL 103
or ULC S629 standards.
▌WARNING:
DO NOT CONNECT THE STOVE TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
Make sure the size of the chimney’s flue is
appropriate for the Shelburne. The Shelburne
requires a 6" (152 mm) inside diameter flue for
new installations. A 6” diameter flue provides
adequate draft and performance. You can use
an 8" (203 mm) diameter existing flue with a
reducer. An oversized flue contributes to
creosote accumulation. (In this case, bigger is
NOT better.)
When purchasing a prefabricated chimney to
install with your stove, be sure to also purchase
from the same manufacturer the wall pass-
through (or ceiling support package), "T"
section package, fire-stops (when needed),
insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap,
and any other needed accessories. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions when installing the
chimney and accessories. In addition, be sure to
maintain all manufacturers’ recommendations
for the proper clearances to the chimney.
Reversing the flue collar
In order to reverse the flue collar to vent the
stove straight out the back, simply use a 7/16”
wrench, or socket. Locate and remove the four
bolts holding the flue collar in place. Once all
four bolts are removed pull the collar away from
the stove, inspect the gasket, ensuring it is in
place, and in working order. Rotate the collar 90
degrees, and replace the four bolts.

There are basically two ways to install a
prefabricated metal chimney:
An interior installation where the chimney
passes inside the residence through the
ceiling and roof.
An exterior installation where the chimney
passes through the wall behind the stove
then up the outside of the residence.

Whenever possible, choose an interior chimney.
An interior chimney heats up more quickly and
retains its heat; thus promotes a better draft and
discourages the formation of creosote. An
exterior chimney does not benefit from the
warmth of being surrounded by the building, so
it typically operates at lower flue temperatures
than an interior chimney. An exterior
chimney’s draft is not as strong and may
experience increased creosote accumulation.

CONNECTION TO AMASONRY CHIMNEY
Consider two primary elements when
connecting your stove to a masonry chimney:
the chimney itself and the thimble where the
stovepipe connects to the chimney. Use only
Code approved masonry chimneys with a flue
liner.
Before connecting to a masonry chimney, hire a
professional to examine the chimney for cracks,
loose mortar, and other signs of deterioration
and blockage. If the chimney needs repair,
complete them before installing and using your
stove. Do not install your stove until the
chimney is safe for use.
Make sure the chimney’s cleanout is complete
and working properly. To avoid a loss of draft,
the cleanout must close off completely. If
allowed to cool, your stove will perform poorly
and creosote will build up in the chimney.
Make sure the size of the chimney’s flue is
appropriate for this stove and that it is not too
large. Use a masonry chimney with an 8" x 8"
(203 mm x 203 mm) tile size for best results.
An oversized flue will contribute to the
accumulation of creosote.
Use the following checklist to ensure that your
masonry chimney meets these minimum
requirements:
Chimney wall construction:
Brick or modular block at least 4" (102 mm)
thick.
A rubble or stone wall at least 12" (305 mm)
thick.
Flue liner:
Minimum thickness of 5/8" (16 mm).
Installed with refractory mortar.
At least 1" (25 mm) air space.
An equivalent flue liner must be a listed
chimney liner system meeting type HT
requirements or other approved material.
Interior chimney requirements:
At least 2" (51 mm) clearance to
combustible structure
Fire stops must be installed at the spaces
where the chimney passes through floors
and/or ceiling.
Insulation must be 2" (51 mm) from the
chimney.
Exterior chimney requirements:
At least 1" (25 mm) clearance to
combustible structure.
Chimney height requirements: (See Illustration)
At least 3 feet (0.9 m) higher than the
highest part of the roof opening through
which it passes.
At least 2 feet (0.6 m) higher than any part
of the roof within 10 feet (3 m) measured
horizontally from the top of the chimney.
This stove requires a minimum chimney height
of 13 feet (4 m). The maximum allowable
chimney height is 30 feet (9m).

Operating Your
Shelburne Wood Stove
Once your Shelburne has been set in place,
connected, and assembled, you are ready to light
a fire. HearthStone Stoves tests each wood
stove before we ship, so you should be able to
easily light your first fire. You may, however,
have to make a few small adjustments to
compensate for altitude and other factors
particular to your installation.
▌WARNING:
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP
CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND
FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
Please read this entire chapter before lighting
your first fire. It explains the controls and
features of your wood stove, how to choose
firewood, and how to break-in your stove and
use it on a daily basis.

CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Before lighting any fires, become familiar with
the location and operation of your stove's
controls and features and learn how to use them.
For your own safety, do not modify these
features in any way.
FRONT DOOR HANDLE: The front door
allows you to load wood into your stove. To
open the door, lift the handle to the 10 o’clock
position and pull the door. To latch the door
lower the handle to the 7 o’clock position. Pull
on the door to make sure it is properly latched.
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL: This feature is
located on the lower left side of the stove. The
primary air control allows you to regulate the
amount of air entering the firebox. Generally
speaking, the more air allowed into the firebox,
the faster and hotter the rate of burn; conversely,
less air creates a slower burn. Pull the lever
toward the front of the stove to open the primary
air control; push the lever toward the rear of the
stove to close the primary air control.
ASH PAN: Open the drawer door first. The ash
pan is located under the ash lip. The ash pan
collects burned ash from a fire and allows you
to conveniently remove the ash from your wood
stove. The ash pan is easy to remove. Sift the
ashes across the grate into the ash pan, then
rotate the ash door handle and pull to open.
Remove the ash pan by grabbing the handle and
sliding it out carefully. After you have disposed
of the ashes, push the ash pan all the way into
the stove and close the ash door.
Do not operate the stove unless the ASH
PAN is tightly inserted into the stove and
the ash door is closed. This could
overheat and damage the stove.
Remove ashes when the stove is cold. If the ash
pan is warm, use protective fireplace gloves.
Exercise extreme caution when handling,
storing or disposing of ashes.

CHOOSING FIREWOOD
Your Shelburne Wood Heater is designed to
only burn firewood-also known as cordwood.
▌CAUTION:
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR
FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS
GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, KEROSENE,
CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR
ENGINE OIL TO START A FIRE. DO
NOT USE CHARCOAL, PELLETS,
COAL, ARTIFICIAL LOGS OR ANY
OTHER MATERIALS AS FUEL; THEY
ARE NOT SAFE. DO NOT BURN
GARBAGE.
The quality of your firewood affects heat output,
duration of burn and performance of your stove.
Softwoods generally burn hotter and faster,
while hardwoods burn longer and produce more
coals. Density and moisture content are two
critical factors to consider when purchasing
wood for your stove.
The following is a list of wood species and their
relative BTU (British Thermal Unit) content.
The higher the BTU the longer the burn.
Firewood with higher BTUs is generally
considered more ideal for a wood stove.
HIGH: Apple, Black Birch, Hickory, Locust,
White Oak, Black Beech, Mesquite
MEDIUM HIGH: White Ash, Beech, Yellow
Birch, Sugar Maple, Red Oak
MEDIUM LOW: Black Ash, White Birch, Grey
Birch, Elm, Norway Pine, Pitch Pine, Black
Cherry, Soft Maple, Tamarack
LOW: White Pine, White Cedar, Balsam Fir,
Spruce, Aspen, Basswood, Butternut, Hemlock
Moisture content also plays a key role in the
performance of your stove. Wood freshly cut
from a living tree (green wood) contains a great
deal of moisture. As you might expect, green
wood has difficulty burning and should be
seasoned before using it in your wood stove. To
properly season green wood, it should be split,
stacked and allowed to air dry for a period of
one year.
Stack the firewood on skids or blocks to keep it
off the ground, cover only the top of the stack.
Plastic or tarps that cover the sides of the
woodpile trap moisture and prevent the wood
from drying. As for stacking, an old Vermonter
said, "The spaces between the logs should be
large enough for a mouse to get through, but not
for the cat that's chasing it."
Firewood should not be stored within the stove's
specified clearances to combustible materials.

BUILDING AFIRE
Once you understand the controls of your wood
stove and have chosen the appropriate firewood,
you are ready to start a fire.
BREAKING IN YOUR WOOD STOVE
It is imperative that your stove be "broken in"
slowly. Cast iron must be "seasoned"; over-
firing a new stove may cause castings to crack
or may damage other stove parts. Also, the
asbestos-free furnace cement must be cured
slowly to insure adequate sealing and bonding.
The firebrick on the back and left side in your
firebox is intended to prevent thermal stress;
leave it in place in the firebox at all times.
When you light your first fires, the wood stove
will emit some smoke and fumes. This is
normal “off-gassing” of the paints and oils used
when manufacturing the wood stove. If you
find it necessary, open a few windows to vent
your room. The smoke and fumes will usually
subside after 10 to 20 minutes of operation. The
odor and smoke will end once the stove is
“cured”.
The first fires may produce other odors from
impurities that exist in the area immediately
surrounding the stove. Some of these impurities
can be cleaning solvents, paint solvents,
cigarettes, smoke, pet hair, dust, adhesives, a
new carpet, and new textiles. These odors will
dissipate over time. You can alleviate these
odors by opening a few windows or otherwise
creating additional ventilation around your
stove. If any odor persists, contact your dealer
or an authorized service technician.
BUILDING ABREAK IN FIRE
1. Open the door and place five or six
double sheets of tightly twisted
newspaper in the center of the firebox.
Arrange kindling in a crisscross pattern
over the newspaper. Kindling should be
approximately ten pieces, 1/2" (13 mm)
in diameter and 10" to 18" (254 mm to
457 mm) long.
2. Fully open the primary air control by
pulling the lever to the front of the stove.
3. Light the paper under the kindling.
Leave the door slightly ajar momentarily
until the kindling has started to burn and
draft begins to pull.
4. Close the door and allow the fire to burn.
Keep the door and ash drawer closed
while the stove is in use. Make sure the
grate is in the closed position.
5. KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE ON YOUR
STOVE to maintain a steady, low-heat
fire. Your first and subsequent break-in
fires should make the stove warm but
not hot to the touch. At most, a few
small chunks of wood should be added
to the fire to reach safe break-in
temperatures.
6. Once the stove is warm but not hot to
the touch close the primary air control
and allow the fire to die out completely.
7. Let the stove return to room temperature.
Your first three break-in fires should be built
and maintained as outlined above. Your
patience will be rewarded by a properly
seasoned stove.
NOTE: Because of the cool flue gas
temperatures present during the break-in
procedure, creosote may build up quickly. We
recommend a visual inspection (and cleaning if
necessary) of your stovepipe and chimney once
the break-in procedure is completed.
