3.1 Preparation before lighting
3.1.1 Check any possible shipping damage of the heater. If any is found, call us directly.
3.1.2 Please review thoroughly and be sure you understand all of the “safety precautions and
warnings”.
3.1.3 Make sure the fire grate is in its proper position with slots running from the front (Door) to the
back of the heater.
3.1.4 Pour pellets in both hoppers.
3.1.5 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. Closing damper will increase temperature.
INITIAL FIRING OF THE HEATER: On initial firing fill the hopper ¾ full about 7 lbs of pellets. 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 of 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, they can make you sick.
3.1.5 Never attempt to relight a hot heater, always wait until the heater is cool.
3.2 Fill hopper 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 hopper chute. Do not
use charcoal lighter to light the unit initially, it will raise the temperature too quickly, could affect the
paint on the unit, and is a dangerous flammable liquids.

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 heater on one full hoppers (20lb) is about 2.5 hours. You can extend
this burn time by adding pellets to the hoppers during the burn.
3.3.5 This stove is supplied with a slanted firepot to help burn hotter 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.
4. Storage
4.1 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.
4.2 Store the heater upright in a sheltered area away from inclement weather such as rain, snow and
dust.

pellets. Never spray any cleaning product on or into any of the doors, air intakes, or dampers.
6. Temperature Control:
Burning Standard Heating Stove Pellets this stove will reach 41k BTU’S. 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.
