accordance with the current American National Standard (ANSI) / National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) codes. Please check local EPA laws to conform with local regulations.
2.2 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.
2.3 This Grill is to be used on a flat level non-combustible surface only.
Install on flat level non-combustible surface (concrete, tile, stone, etc.).
3. Operation
1. Preparation before lighting
2. Check any possible shipping damage of the Stove. If any is found, call us directly.
3. Please review thoroughly and be sure you understand all of the “safety precautions and
warnings”.
4. Make sure the fire grate is in its proper position with bars running from left to right when
facing the front of the Stove.
5. Pour pellets in hopper.
6. Damper Control is both temperature control as well as combustion efficiency control. To
reduce temperature of stove by 200 degrees open damper to see slots. To increase temperature by
200 degrees close damper fully, seeing no slots. Opening the damper will also clean up particulates
(smoke) by increasing oxygen to the fire.
Open Flame Cooking –Replace the removable cooktop plate with one of the grills from the oven.
*** Do not overfill the firebox with wood or charcoal –May result in warpage.
*** Replace the cooktop plate with the oven grill only when both are fully cooled.
*** Be certain to cleanout unit by removing all ash content from firebox and burn pot prior to the next
firing.
*** Open Flame cooking works with Charcoal or wood, NOT PELLETS. Pellet fuel requires the
cooktop plate to be in place.
*** The oven does not work when the cooktop plate is not in place since there is no longer a
draft created by the stove pipe.
INITIAL FIRING OF THE HEATER: On initial firing fill ONE hopper ¾ full about 7 lbs of pellets.
Curing takes only a half an hour. 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 stove
voiding your warranty. Fire the unit and let it burn through all of the pellets and then let the stove
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 breathe these fumes, they can make
you sick. Do not use oven for cooking until the stove has been properly cured.
3.1.5 Never attempt to relight a hot Stove with alcohol gel or lighter fluid, always wait until the heater
is cool.
3.2 Fill both hoppers completely with pellets.
3.3 Lighting
3.3.1 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 left hopper chute. Do not
use charcoal lighter to light the unit on initial firing, it will raise the temperature too quickly, could
affect the paint on the unit the first time. Safe to use charcoal lighter thereafter.
3.3.2 Light the alcohol fire gel with a match and close the door.
3.3.3. Open the (N) Damper below the door for the first ten minutes of a burn.
3.3.4 Standard burn time for the Cook Stove on one full hopper (10lbs) is about 3. hours. You can
extend this burn time by adding pellets to the hoppers during the burn.
3.3.6 This stove is supplied with a Patented Fire Pot to help burn hotter longer reducing the ash
content while burning. Clean grate and slots by pulling out rod from rear of stove allowing ash
content to fall into the ash pan. When Stove is off and cool you may empty the ash pan in a safe
location. Be certain to push rod and bottom grate back into place before relighting.
4. Storage
4.1 When you are finished using the stove you should make sure that the fire is completely out. Allow
at least 45 minutes for the stove to cool down before transporting.
4.2 Store the stove upright in a sheltered area away from inclement weather such as rain, snow and
dust.
4.3 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 LLC.
5. Maintenance
5.1 To obtain the best performance from your grill make sure you perform the following maintenance
activities on a regular basis:
5.2 After a burn and once the grill is completely cooled, clean out any remaining ashes inside of the
fire grate by pulling out rod and pushing it back into place dropping ash in the ash pan. Do not dump
an ash pan with hot embers or pellets in it into a garbage can or any other combustible area. It will
start a fire.
5.3 Keep exterior surfaces clean. Use warm soapy water for cleaning.
5.4 Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning agents on or near this Stove.
5.5 Airflow through dampers and must be unobstructed, clean regularly.
6. Temperature Control:
Oven temps are regulated by the damper wheel at the front of the heater. Burning wood pellets and
leaving the damper fully open will allow the stoves lowest possible temp at 325 degrees. Fully closed
will bring the temperature up to 525 peak temperature. You may also dial in between temps based on
how much air you allow through the damper. Elevation, quality of fuel, and ambient temperature will
all play important roles in this stoves operation.
6.1. Cooktop Temperature Control: The Top Surface of this grill is intended for Cooking with
cookware. The left cook surface has a temperature range of 450 to 650 and the right cook surface
temperature has a range of 350 to 550. For hotter temps close damper for cooler temps open
damper. Do not cook directly on cooktop surface. This will scratch the cooktop paint and encourage
rust if kept outdoors. To avoid surface rust caused by abrasive particles or cookware we recommend
cooking on a cast iron plate or griddle on top Cook Surface.
