2. Operation
3.1 Preparation before lighting.
3.2 Please review thoroughly and be sure you understand all of the “safety precautions and
warnings’.
3.3 The fire grate is already fixed into the firebox by screws. Make sure it is in its position
and fixed well.
3.4 Pour pellets in both hoppers.
INITIAL FIRING OF THE HEATER: Place the starter box in between the pellet downspouts in
the burn chamber. On initial firing only fill the hoppers with about 5 Ibs. of pellets each,
just make the pellets feeding tubes full. This one time initial firing needs to be done to cure
the paint and burn off any oils on the unit. Open the air damper on the heater door and
leave it open for the entire initial burn period. Fire the unit and let it burn through all of
the pellets and then let the heater cool. The unit is now fully cured. 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 or deliver other related symptoms.
3.5 Never attempt to relight a hot heater, always wait until the heater is cool.
3.6 Fill both hoppers completely with pellets.
3.7 Lighting
3.8 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 right
and left feeding tube. Do not use charcoal lighter to light the unit, it will raise the
temperature too quickly, could affect the paint on the unit, and poses a dangerous risk.
3.9 Light the alcohol fire gel with a match and close the door.
3.10 Open the air damper below the door for the first ten minutes of a burn. Always use
tools or hook to operate the damper as the surface will be very hot.
3.11 Standard burn time for the heater on two full hoppers is about 3 hours. You can extend
this burn time by adding pellets to the hoppers during the burn or adjusting the vents to
slow down the intensity of the flames.
3.12 Keeping the fire: by adjusting the air damper, you can keep your fire burning up or
down. Push-and-pull the ash dumper handle to make the ash falling down to the ash pan,
that will help keep the fire burning up. Always use tools or hook because the surface of the
heater is very hot.
4. Storage
4.1 When you are finished using the heater you should make sure that the fire is completely
out. Allow at least 60 minutes for the heater to cool down before moving.
4.2 All unused wood pellets need to be moved out from the hoppers, feeding tunnels
