Operating your HUNTER wood stove
Avoiding overheating :
Your HUNTER does not come with refractory firebrick. Nevertheless, it is recommended
(although not an obligation) to install firebrick on the bottom of the firebox. Even if the
firebrick does not fit perfectly on the bottom, leaving spaces between each brick, it will help
protect your firebox and increase its useful life. You can also spread 2 inches of sand on the
bottom of the stove.
Solid Fuel:
Your stove is designed to burn wood only; no other combustible should be burnt. Waste and
other flammable material should not be burnt in your stove. Any type of wood may be used
in your stove, but specific varieties have better energy yields than others. The vast majority
of the problems related to the operation of a wood stove is caused by the fact that the wood
used is too damp. These problems can be:
-
Ignition problems;
-
Creosote build-up causing chimney fires;
-
Low energy yield;
-
Incomplete log combustion.
Before your first fire:
-
Make sure that the chimney and flue pipe are well installed according to the
manufacturer's specifications.
-
Respect all clearances to combustible material and floor protection requirements
mentioned in this manual.
Ignition:
After making sure that the stove air intake control is fully open, place several rumpled sheets
of paper in the center of the combustion chamber. Place 8 to 10 pieces of small dry kindling
wood over the paper in the form of a tent. You may also place a few pieces of heating wood,
but choose them as little as possible. No chemical product (or accelerant) should be
used to light the fire.
