inserted through slotted holes that are located just below the damper (N). The slotted holes are on all
four sides of the firebox. For maximum heat output, move the bolts to the lowest position within the
slotted holes on all four sides of the firebox (this allows more fuel in). For use above 3,000 Ft. in
elevation be sure firebox bottom is setting at the lowest position.
Installing the Deluxe Fire Pot:
Insert (XP) the firepot into the square cutout on the firebox bottom. The 3/8” nut on the bottom of the
fire pot will face towards the rear of the firebox. Make sure the fire pot sits flush with bottom. Place
large washer onto the pull rod. Insert the pull rod from rear and align with nut on firepot bottom. Turn
clockwise until tight. The pull rod should be pushed in during operation.
Step 3 - Assembling the ash pan: Place the (P) ash pan front (with the holes closer to the top) onto
the (O) ash pan. Insert two 1/4 x 7/8’’ bolts into the (Q) ash pan handle. Position handle onto the front
of ash pan with the bolts going through the holes. Secure the bolts on the inside with a lock washer
and a 1/4" nut each on the inside. Slide completed ash pan into the front of the firebox.
Step 4 - Installing the Door Mounting Bracket and Door: Mount the (L) door mounting bracket
using two 10/32 x ½” screws. The threaded portion of the door hinge will be in the top position. Attach
(M) Door to (L) Door mounting bracket using two ¼ x ½” screws. Twist on the spring handles to the
door latch and damper dial.
Step 5 - Installing the Stove Top Collar onto the Stove Top: Slip the stove top collar (A) up from
underside of the stove top (B) through the center hole. the flange holes need to be aligned with the
holes on the stove top. Insert four 10/32” bolts from the top into the holes on the center of the stove
top and fasten with four 10/32” nuts on the underside.
Step 6 - Installing the Stove Top: Place (B) stove top on top of (K) firebox with the beveled edge
facing down on the front of the heater. Secure with twelve 10/32” bolts.
Step 7 - Attaching Hopper Handle and Shut-Off Key (mushroom shaped with wire loop): Place
the shut-off key loop around one handle. Using two 1/4 x 7/8” bolts align the (Q1) hopper handle with
holes on backside of hopper and secure with a lock washer and a 1/4" nut for each bolt from the
inside of the hopper.
Step 8 - Installing the Hopper Heat Shield: Install (T) heat shield by sliding heat shield in between
the hopper and fire box so that the tabs are inserted into the slots located on the (G) and (H) hopper
brackets. Insert from top down.
Step 9 - Attaching the Spark Arrester to Top Reflector: Attach the (X) stove pipe spark arrester
(stove pipe piece with logo) to the (Y) top reflector using three 10/32” nuts and 10/32” bolts. First,
bend the tabs on the top of the spark arrestor 90 degrees out. Position over holes on the top reflector
and bolt together.
Step 10 - Assembling Stove Pipe and Installing on Stove: Your heater comes with one plain
piece of stove pipe and one spark arrestor stove pipe. Place (W) stove pipe on the ground (on a
nonabrasive surface like carpet or rug). Start on the bottom end and gradually connect two sides of
locking pipe. Attach one (W) stove pipe to (A) stove top collar with the crimped end up. It’s easiest to
place lock side on to the back of the collar and pull the stove pipe forward then down over the collar.
Place the stove pipe spark arrestor (connected to the top reflector) onto the top of the stove pipe

section. Push down until secure. Self-tapping screws included to secure stove pipe. Use 3 screws in
each section. (Optional)
Shutoff Key – The stove is supplied with a hopper shutoff key and attachment rope. Hang the key
from the hopper handle. This shutoff key gets inserted into the slot located at the bottom of the
hopper chute on the outside of the firebox. Ensure the key sits level with the ground when in place. If
not, lift up on the key until it is level. Insert all the way until the keys edge contacts the hopper back.
Pull out when you want to use the heater.
Installation
This heater is intended to be used outdoors only. It should never be used in an enclosed area or a
confined space.
Installation warning
The installation must conform with local, state and federal codes. In absence of such codes, install in
accordance with the current American National Standard (ANSI) / National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) codes. Please check local EPA laws to conform with local regulations.
Minimum clearances
A minimum 36” clearance from this heater and all its parts to combustible materials must be
maintained at all times while the heater is in operation.
This heater is to be used on a flat level non-combustible surface only.
Install on flat level non-combustible surface (concrete, tile, stone, etc.).
Operation
Preparation before lighting
Check any possible shipping damage of the heater. If any is found, call us directly.
Please review thoroughly and be sure you understand all the “safety precautions and warnings”.
Make sure the firepot is in its proper position with the firepot rod pushed in.
Pour pellets into the hopper with the shut-off key inserted into the slot located at the bottom backside
of the hopper.
INITIAL FIRING OF THE HEATER: On initial firing fill the hopper ¾ full. This one-time initial firing
needs to be done to cure the paint on the unit. Open the damper on the heater and leave it open for
the entire initial burn period. Having the damper closed on initial firing will result in very high
temperatures and potentially damage your heater voiding your warranty. Fire the unit and let it burn
through all the pellets and then let the heater cool. You will now be free to use the unit according to
the remainder of these directions. On your first firing, the high temperature paint on the unit will cure.
When curing, the paint gives off smoke. This will happen for about the first 15 minutes of operation.
Do not breath these fumes.
Pull the shutoff key all the way out when ready to burn. Do not attempt to regulate the flow of
pellets with the shutoff

9
Lighting
Open the door and squirt about two tablespoons of alcohol fire gel on the mound of wood
pellets in the middle of the firebox. Pellets will have funneled down from the hopper chute.
Light the alcohol fire gel with a match and close the door.
Open the (N) Damper below the door for the first ten minutes of a burn.
Standard burn time for the heater on one full hopper (30lb) is about 3 hours. You can extend this burn
time by adding pellets to the hoppers during the burn.
This stove is supplied with a slanted firepot to help burn hotter and longer reducing the ash content
while burning. Clean grate and slots by pulling the pull rod from the back of stove and pushing it back
in. The rod should always be in fully closed position while in operation.
Damper Control is both temperature control as well as combustion efficiency control. To reduce
temperature of stove by 250 degrees open damper to see slots. To increase temperature by 250
degrees close damper fully seeing no slots. Opening damper will also clean up particulates (smoke)
by increasing oxygen to fire.
If the heater runs out of fuel, do not attempt to refuel and light the heater before it has fully
cooled down (approx. 30 min). The unit will smoke excessively if attempted.
Storage
When you are finished using the Heater you should make sure that the fire is completely out. Allow at
least 45 minutes for the heater to cool down before transporting.
Store the heater upright in a sheltered area away from inclement weather such as rain, snow and
dust.
This unit is manufactured as an “Outdoor Unit” from steel. If you leave it in the weather, it will
accumulate rust. This is normal and can be treated by using touch up paint in spray cans available
from Wood Pellet Products. We Recommend purchasing a cover if you live in a particularly wet
climate.
Maintenance
To obtain the best performance from your heater make sure you perform the following maintenance
activities on a regular basis:
After a burn and once the heater is completely cooled, clean out any remaining ashes from on top of
the firepot, in-between the bars and in the ash pan.
Keep exterior surfaces clean. Use warm soapy water for cleaning.
Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning agents on or near this Heater.
Airflow through the spark arrester must be unobstructed, clean regularly with canned air.
Glass Cleaning
Only clean stove glass when the heater is off and fully cooled. Should a buildup of creosote or carbon
accumulate, we recommend wiping the windows down with a wet rag. If the glass still appears foggy,
a razor blade can be used to scrape away what remains. DO NOT operate the stove if the glass is
broken.
Caution:
Never burn stick wood or plastic or other combustibles in this heater. Burn only ¼” diameter wood
pellets. Never spray any cleaning product on or into any of the doors, air intakes, or dampers.

Trouble Shooting
Problem
Solution
The stove is not burning hot
Usually, the cause of poor performance of the heater is the fuel.
Make sure you are using high grade pellets with a BTU rating of at
least 8,200/hr
Proper maintenance of the stove is essential for maximum heat
output. Make sure to clean out the firebox and scrape in-between the
firepot bars. Clear the spark arrestor with compressed air or with a
brush.
Smoke/Burning Dirty
A well-maintained stove with high grade pellet fuel will burn the
cleanest. More oxygen to the fire will produce a cleaner burn which
can be achieved by opening the damper slightly. You should instantly
be able to tell a difference after opening the damper.
7. Temperature Control:
To maximize heat output, close the damper dial completely by turning it until all slots are no longer
visual. To decrease temperature open damper to allow air to move through the unit and cool it down.
