IRE Before lighting your first fire in the stove make certain that the baffle is correctly positioned It should be resting on the rear baffle supports see page 22 for baffle installation instructions Also refer to care and cleaning of plated surfaces section on page 20 before lighting your first fire There are many ways to build a fire The basic principle is to light easily ignitable tinder or paper which ignites the fast burning kindling which in turn ignites the slow burning firewood Here is one method that works well 1 Place several wads of crushed paper on the firebox floor 2 Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper 3 Open air control fully 4 Make sure that no matches or other combustibles are in the immediate area of the stove Be sure the room is adequately ventilated and the flue unobstructed 5 Light the paper in the stove NEVER light or rekindle stove with kerosene gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid the results can be fatal 6 Once the kindling is burning quickly add several full length logs 3 76mm or 4 102mm in diameter Be careful not to smother the fire Stack the pieces of wood carefully near enough to keep each other hot but far enough away from each other to allow adequate air flow between them 7 When ready to reload the stove add more logs Large logs burn slowly holding a fire longer Small logs burn fast and hot giving quick heat 8 Adjust the air control the more you clos
