How Nova Works
Nova is a whole lot easier to use than any wood stove you have ever
used. Gone are the days of using dampers. Gone is keeping the door
open forever in order to start the stove, spilling smoke into the room.
Instead, Nova is a simple and easy to use wood stove that provides
great heat and a beautiful view of your fire through a massive front
glass. Just build a fire and sit back and enjoy your beautiful fire.
On top of the beauty of Nova, it is a clean burning and highly efficient
stove that gets the most heat out of every piece of wood.
Bypass
Nova is equipped with a bypass lever for the catalytic combustor. The
bypass handled is located on the right side of the stove and should be
operated with the included fall-away handle. When not used, the fall-
away handle can be stored on the rear of the unit. The bypass should
always be opened prior to opening the front-loading door. After loading
or reloading your stove with wood, the bypass should remain open until
the thermometer provided reads “ENGAGE CATALYST”. The normal
closed position is when the bypass lever is to the rear of the stove.
Controlling the Burn
Your Nova has only one burn mode – perfect. If you would like more
or less heat out of your Nova, simply load more or less wood into your
stove.
