WARNING
PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual describes the installation and operation of the True North, TN10 Freestanding wood heater. This
heater meets the 2020 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's crib wood emission limits for wood heaters sold
after May 15, 2015. Under specific test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging
from 13,100 to 17,600 Btu/hr.
NOTE: WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS BE INSTALLED IN
THE AREA WHERE THE HEATER IS TO BE INSTALLED.
If smoke detectors have been previously installed, you may notice that they are operating more frequently. This may be
due to curing of stove paint or fumes caused by accidentally leaving the re door open. Do not disconnect the detectors.
SAFETY NOTICE: If this stove is not properly installed, a house fire may result. For your safety, follow the instal-
lation instructions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection require-
ments in you area.

Efficiency and BTU Output

TN10 NA 080617-28
45055.549-A
1. Burn only dry and well seasoned cord wood. The denser or heavier the wood when dry, the greater its
heat value. This is why hardwoods are generally preferred. Green or wet wood will cause a rapid buildup
of creosote. If you feel it is necessary to burn wet or unseasoned wood, do so only with the air inlet set
open enough to maintain a good strong re and fairly high chimney temperatures. Do not attempt to burn
overnight using green wood or wet wood. Wet wood can cause up to 25% drop in heater output, as well
as contributing signicantly to creosote buildup.
2. Remove ashes frequently. Embers can roll out the door and create a re hazard. Maintain a 1"(25mm)
minimum ash base.
3. If glass becomes darkened through slow burning or poor wood, it can readily be cleaned with replace
glass cleaner when stove is cold. Never scrape with an object that might scratch the glass. The type and
amount of deposit on the glass is a good indication of the ue pipe and chimney buildup. A light brown
dusty deposit that is easily wiped off usually indicates good combustion and dry, well-seasoned wood and
therefore relatively clean pipes and chimney. On the other hand, a black greasy deposit that is difcult to
remove is a result of wet and green wood and too slow a burning rate. This heavy deposit is building up at
least as quickly in the chimney.
4. DOOR GASKETS - The gasket used for the True North (5/8"(16mm) medium density berglass rope)
requires only light pressure to seal. This will prolong seal life. It is important that the door seal be main-
tained in good condition. Periodically inspect seals and replace if necessary. Follow instructions included
in the TN19.DGKIT kit obtainable from your nearest True North dealer.
5. DOOR GLASS - Do not slam loading door or otherwise impact glass. When closing door, make sure that
no logs protrude to impact the glass. If the glass gets cracked or broken, it must be replaced before using
the stove. Replacement glass can be obtained from your dealer. Use 9-1/4"(235mm) x 13-1/4"(337mm) x
5 mm. Ceramic glass only. Do not substitute with any other type.
• -To remove broken glass, undo the four retaining screws and remove clamps, noting position for
re-assembly. Remove all particles of glass. Be careful as they are very sharp. Install new glass complete
with gasket. Replace clamps and screws.
CAUTION:
- do not overtighten, tighten screws very carefully
- do not clean glass when hot
- do not use abrasive cleaners on glass
6. The area where boost combustion air enters the rebox must be kept clear of excessive ash buildup
which will block air ow. This area is at the front of the rebox.
7. Do not store wood within heater installation clearances, or within the space required for fuel loading
and ash removal. Keep the area around the heater clean and free of loose combustibles, furniture,
newspapers, etc.
Safety and Maintenance
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile liquid to start a fire. Do not burn garbage, or
flammable fluids such as gasoline, naptha, or engine oil.
WARNING: ONLY USE MATERIALS SUPPLIED BY MANUFACTURER WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE OR
REPLACEMENTS.

5055.549-A
TN10 NA 080617-28 5
8. Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burning and Lighting techniques. Check daily for creosote buildup in
the rebox, until you are experienced and are operating the stove cleanly and safely.
9. Be aware that the hotter the re, the less creosote is deposited. More frequent chimney cleaning may be
necessary in mild weather or when burning "wet" or unseasoned wood.
10. Instruct all members of your family on the safe operation of the heater. Ensure they have enough
knowledge of the entire system if they are expected to operate it. Stress the section on chimney res and
the importance of following the steps outlined "In Case of Chimney Fire".
Maintenance Checks

Chimney Smoke and Creosote Formation
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney ue of a slow
burning re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes
an extremely hot re. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected periodically (at least once
every two months) during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has
accumulated (3 mm. or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney re.
1. Highest smoke densities and emissions occur when a large amount of wood is added to a bed of hot
coals and the air inlet is closed. The heated wood generates smoke, but without ample air, the smoke
cannot burn. Smoke-free, clean burning requires small fuel loads, two or three logs at a time or 1/4 to 1/2
of fuel load and leaving the air inlet relatively wide open, especially during the rst 10 to 30 minutes after
each loading, when most of the smoke generating reactions are occurring. After 30 minutes or so, the air
inlet can be turned down substantially without excessive smoke generation. Wood coals create very little
creosote-producing smoke.
2. The cooler the surface over which the wood smoke is passing, the more creosote will be condensed.
Wet or green wood contributes signicantly to creosote formation as the excess moisture that is boiled
off cools the re, making it difcult for the tars and gases to ignite, thus creating dense smoke and poor
combustion. This moisture-laden smoke cools the chimney, compounding the problem by offering the
smoke the ideal place to condense.
In summary, a certain amount of creosote is inevitable. Regular inspection and cleaning is the solution. The
use of dry, seasoned wood and ample combustion air will help to minimize annoying smoke emissions and
creosote buildup.
Chimney Fires
The dangerous side effect of excessive creosote buildup is a chimney re. This causes much higher than
normal temperatures in the chimney and on its exterior surfaces. Temperatures inside the chimney can
exceed 2000°F (1100°C). Ignition of nearby or touching combustible material is more likely during a chimney
re. Proper clearances are critical to prevent damage during such a re.
Chimney res are easy to detect; they usually involve one or more of the following:
• Flames and sparks shooting out of the top of the chimney
• A roaring sound
• Vibration of the chimney

5055.549-A
TN10 NA 080617-28 7
To Avoid a Chimney Fire
1. Burn wood cleanly. Do not burn wet wood or turn down the unit too quickly after loading.
2. Do not let creosote build up to a point where a chimney re is possible.
3. Do not have res in the heater that may ignite chimney res. These are excessively hot res, such as when
burning household trash, cardboard, Christmas tree limbs, or even ordinary fuel wood; (eg. with a full load
on a hot bed of coals and with the air inlet wide open for more time than is needed to completely char a
fresh fuel load.)
4. The Chimney and connector pipe should be inspected /cleaned periodically.
In the event of a Chimney Fire
Have a re extinguisher handy. Contact your local municipal or state/provincial re authority for further
information on how to handle a chimney re. It is most important that you have a clearly understood plan
on how to handle a chimney re.
1. Close down the air inlet on the stove.
2. Call the local re department.
3. Prepare to evacuate to ensure everyone's safety. Have a well understood plan of action for evacuation.
Have a place outside where everyone is to meet.
4. After the chimney re is out, the chimney must be cleaned and checked for stress and cracks before
starting another re. Also check combustibles around the chimney and the roof. The services of a
competent or certied installer, (certied by the Wood Energy Technical Training program (WETT) - in
Canada, National Fireplace Institute (NFI) - in U.S.A., are strongly recommended.

TN10 NA 080617-28
85055.549-A
CAUTION: Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin
burns.
WARNING: Always keep loading door closed when burning. This heater is not designed for open door
burning.
WARNING: No alteration or modification of the combustion air control assembly is permitted. Any
tampering will void warranty and could be very hazardous.
WARNING: Do not use grates or andirons to elevate the fuel. Burn directly on the fire bricks. Replace
broken or missing bricks. Failure to do so may create a hazardous condition.
WARNING: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar
liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while
in use.
Your True North heater is designed for maximum overall efciency at a moderate ring rate. Overring is
hazardous, a waste of fuel and will damage your stove. Too slow a burn may contribute to creosote buildup
and lowers combustion efciency.
Wood Selection
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efciency and lower emissions generally result when
burning air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months or more. Wet or undried wood will cause the re
to smoulder and produce large amounts of creosote. Wet wood also produces very little heat and tends to go
out often.
DO NOT BURN:

5055.549-A
TN10 NA 080617-28 9
Do not burn anything but cord wood. Other fuels, eg. charcoal, can produce large amounts of carbon
monoxide, a tasteless, odorless gas that can kill. Under no circumstances should you attempt to barbecue in
this heater.
How to Test Your Wood
Add a large piece of wood to the stove when it has a good large bed of coals. It is dry if it is burning on more
than one side within one minute. It is damp if it turns black and lights within three minutes. If it sizzles, hisses
and blackens without igniting in ve minutes it is soaked and should not be burned.
Lighting a Fire
Remove the retaining clip on the front of the baffle before lighting for the first time.
1. Move air control lever to the left-most position (maximum ring rate) and open door.
2. Place crumpled newspaper in the centre of the heater and crisscross with several pieces of dry kindling.
Add a few small pieces of dry wood on top.
3. Ignite the paper and leave the door ajar approximately 1/2"(13mm) - 1"(25mm) until the wood kindling is
fully engulfed in ame.
4. After the kindling is fully engulfed add a few small logs. Close door.
5. Begin normal operation after a good coal base exists and wood has charred.
Normal Operation
WARNING: 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 the operating instructions in this manual.
1. Set air control to a desired setting. If smoke pours down across the glass (waterfall effect) this indicates
you have shut the control down too soon or you are using too low a setting. The wide range control panel
makes nding the desired setting for your application easy. As every home's heating needs vary (ie.
insulation, windows, climate, etc.) the proper setting can only be found by trial and error and should be
noted for future burns.
2. To refuel, adjust air control to high, and give the re time to brighten. Open the door slowly, this will pre-
vent back pufng.
3. Use wood of different shape, diameter and length (up to 14" (355mm)). Load your wood and try to place
the logs so that the air can ow between them. Always use dry wood.
4. Do not load fuel to a height or in such a manner that would be hazardous when opening the door.
5. For extended or overnight burns, unsplit logs are preferred. Remember to char the wood completely on
maximum setting before adjusting air control for overnight burn.

TN10 NA 080617-28
105055.549-A
Restarting After Extended or Overnight Burns
1. Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the heater. Add a couple of dry, split logs on top of
embers, close door.
2. Adjust air control to high (control lever to the left) and in just a few minutes, logs should begin burning.
3. After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting.
4. To achieve maximum ring rate, set air control lever to the left-most position. Do not use this setting other
than for starting or preheating fresh fuel loads.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER: Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design
specifications can result in permanent damage to the heater and chimney.
Proper Draft
1. Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
2. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. An uncontrollable burn or a glowing
red stove part or chimney indicates excessive draft.
3. Inadequate draft may cause back pufng into the room and plugging of the chimney. Smoke leaking into
the room through appliance and chimney connector joints indicates inadequate draft.
Curing of the Paint Finish
To achieve the best nish, the paint on your stove must be baked on with small res. When burning your
stove for the rst 2-3 times it is very important that the room be well ventilated. Open all windows and doors.
Smoke and fumes caused by the curing process may cause discomfort to some individuals.
Ash Removal
Caution: Ashes are to be removed only when the heater is cold. Whenever ashes get 3"(76mm) to 4"(102mm)
deep in your rebox, and when re has burned down and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed
approximately 1" (25 mm) deep on the rebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be
placed outside on a non-combustible oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pend-
ing nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not be placed in this
container.
Heat Output
Experience will give you the right settings for proper combustion and efcient burning. Remember that the
correct air inlet setting is affected by variables such as type of wood, outside temperature, chimney size and
weather conditions. With practice, you will become procient in operating your heater and will obtain the
performance for which it was designed.

Procedure
1. Position stove and oor protection (with hole for combustion air if required) in accordance with the
clearances as stated on the label and in Figure 2., and Figure 3 or Figure 4.
2. Mark the position for the hole in the ceiling and roof by using a string and plumb-bob.
3. Check that the intended location will not interfere with oor joists, ceiling joists or rafters before
proceeding further.
4. As per the chimney manufacturer's instructions;
•Cut a hole in the ceiling and roof to suit the chimney system and frame in the sides. The chimney
support is mounted to the framing. If a roof or ceiling support is used in the installation, you will nd the
chimney manufacturer's complete instructions packed with the roof support.
•Assemble the chimney sections so the nished length is resting on the support and protruding through
the roof. Install the radiation shield. Avoid having chimney joints between ceiling and roof.
•Assemble ashing and storm collar and be sure to secure the ashing and seal with the appropriate
sealant. Attach rain cap and check ashing for leaks.
5. If double-wall connector pipe is to be connected between the stove and the listed insulated chimney,
install all components to the pipe manufacturer's installation requirements.
6. If smoke pipe is being used to connect between the stove and the listed insulated chimney,
•Install the smoke pipe (chimney connector), crimped edge of the pipe down and inside the stove collar.
Use holes provided in collar to secure pipe with three screws.
•Install the remaining lengths of pipe, one on top of the other to the nished height of the listed insulated
chimney adapter and secure to each other. A slip-section will make attaching the smoke pipe to the
chimney system adapter easier.

Connecting to a masonry chimney
Ensure that the chimney is in good condition and meets local building codes. Your stove may work better if
the chimney is fully lined with a stainless steel liner, this is because the liner will retain heat and promote draft.
The chimney ue or liner should be the same size as the stove outlet for optimal performance. Reducing or
increasing the ue size may adversely affect stove performance. Chimney ue exit is to be 3 feet (1 m.) above
the roof and two feet (0.6 m.) above highest projection within 10 feet (3 m.). The installation must meet all
local codes. Do not connect this unit to a chimney ue serving another appliance. Minimum system height is
12 feet (3.0 m.) (measured from top of appliance).

Combustion air can be supplied to the stove in one of two ways. Consult your local building code or CAN/
CSA-B365, or NFPA 211
1. Direct outside air supply - (Necessary for mobile home installation, optional for residential installation.)
• To draw outside air through the oor; Attach the outside air adapter to the underside of the stove. Mark
then cut or drill a 3"(76mm) diameter or larger hole in the oor under the adapter. This hole must get its
air from a ventilated crawl space or be extended with duct to the outdoors (Figure 6 on page 15. or
Figure 7 on page 16
**If you are getting the intake air from a well ventilated crawl space, Connect the adapter to 3"(76mm)
exible or rigid metal venting passing thru the hole using into the ventilated space. Cover the inlet of the
pipe with a 20GA wire mesh minimum rodent screen, and clamp in place.
**If you are extending the pipe thru to the outside, Install an approved 3"(76mm) inlet vent cap into the
closest outside wall. Connect the stove's adapter to the Inlet vent through the hole using 3"(76mm) ex-
ible and/or rigid metal venting.
• To draw air from behind the stove. Cut or drill a corresponding hole in the closest exterior wall. Install an
approved 3"(76mm) inlet vent cap. Attach the outside air adapter to the underside of the stove. Connect
the adapter to the inlet vent cap using 3"(76mm) exible and/or rigid metal venting. Provide water pro-
tection as required.
2. Room air supply - Remove the knockout or cover plate from the bottom of the Air box enclosure. The
stove will now draw its air from the room through this opening and into the rebox intake
Note:
The use of outside combustion air for installation requires the unit to be secured to the structure to prevent
dislodging of the air duct ("Securing Bracket Installation:" on page 13).
The living space around the heater must be well ventilated with good air circulation. Anything that may
cause a negative pressure can cause gases or fumes to be pulled into the living area. During extremely cold
weather, and especially when burning at very slow rates, the upper parts of the exposed chimney may ice up,
partially blocking the ue gases. If blockage occurs, ue gases may enter living space.
This unit is not designed to be operated with the ring door open. In addition to the obvious hazard of sparks
landing on combustibles, an open re door will cause the heater to draw air from the living space and possibly
cause suffocation in an air tight home.
