Lighting the Stove
Curing
On initial firing you will notice a very pungent odour, this is caused through the curing of
the paint, we recommend starting with short burning sessions (with smaller quantities of
fuel) and build up gradually to allow the components of the stove to settle. Opening doors
and windows will allow the paint curing odour to dissipate and to allow ventilation into the
room. Curing times can vary but typically should take around 8-12 hours (operation at high
output) to complete.
Kindling
Stage
1
Ensure the Primary and Secondary air spinner are fully open (anti-clockwise). The Tertiary
air intake flap should be closed at this point. With both doors open, start your fire using
twists of newspaper (or scrunched up balls) to form a bed on the grates. Place a generous
amount of dry kindling onto the newspaper, ensure their is sufficient air gaps between the
kindling (a criss cross or pyramid style pattern is ideal to accomplish this).

Stage 2
Ignite the paper underneath using a match or suitable fire-lighter. Allow the paper and
kindling to burn until it reduces down into hot embers. If the fire is dying during this stage
the door can be closed but not latched leaving a small gap for extra combustion air.
Stage 3
Add another generous load of dry kindling and allow to burn down.
It may be necessary to repeat this stage if the chimney is cold or if you find you have
smoke entering the room. This stage is vital for getting heat into the chimney which will
create the draw that takes the smoke away, we would expect this stage to take between
15-20 minutes.
It is critical that you do not leave the stove during the entire lighting and kindling
stage. See Burning wood and Burning Coal sections for the next steps.
