4.2.1. Simple <strong>Wood</strong> Moisture Test Add one large piece of wood to the top of an established fire. If it starts to burn on three sides within one minute, it is dry and seasoned and right for burning. If it turns black and starts to burn in three minutes, it is damp. If it turns black and does not start burning until after five minutes, it is green and wet. If it hisses at any time, the wood is soaked and will not burn until excess moisture is boiled away. 4.3. NOTES ABOUT FIRST FIRING Before firing ensure that the room is well ventilated. Curing the paint is recommended to preserve the best quality finish. Heating the insert too intensely on the first fire will dull and lighten the colour on overheated areas, and cause smoke and odour to be emitted into the room. To cure the paint, the first two fires should be burned for only about twenty minutes each. The paint curing process will produce a light fume with an unpleasant odour. Open windows. Leave the room if the smell is too intense. The fume is non-toxic and will disappear completely after the unit will have been used a few times at higher firing temperatures. Allow the insert to get warm only, but not hot, i.e. 250 o F (120 o C) as measured by an insert top thermometer, then allow the insert to cool down. Light a third fire and burn it for about forty minutes to 450 o F (230 o C) or less. Once again cool the insert to room temperature, then operate it according to the following instructions. This extra care will result in a more durable, and uniform finish. 4.4. LIGHTING A FIRE 1. Place enough crumpled balls of newspaper or other paper into the insert to cover the bottom of the firebox. 2. Place small dry kindling on the crumpled paper. 3. Place larger dry kindling on top of the small kindling. 4. Set the draft control at high, (see Table 4.2) 5. Light a fire at the bottom of the crumpled paper and close the door. If the fire tends to go out, momentarily hold the door slightly ajar to fan the fire. As soon as the fire catches hold, close the door. 19
6. Ideally the large kindling should be burned until a thick bed of red embers is obtained. At that point, add cordwood fuel and continue to operate the draft control wide open until the fire is well established. Once the firebox is hot, the draft control can be partially closed by pushing the knob to adjust the intensity of the fire. Use Table 4.2 to adjust the draft control to the desired burn rate: Draft Settings Burn Rate Low Medium Low Medium High High Draft Setting Push Control to end of travel. Pull Control by 3/8” from closed position. Pull Control by 3/4” from closed position Pull Control to end of travel. Table 4.2 Closing the draft control down too soon will lower combustion efficiency, and may result in creosote build-up in the chimney (which could lead to a chimney fire). CAUTION: THE ADJUSTMENT RANGE SHOULD NOT BE ALTERED FOR INCREASED FIRING FOR ANY REASON. Figure 4.1 20
