EIR LEDGE For maximum efficiency when the stove is thoroughly hot load it fully to the top of the door opening and burn at a me dium low setting Maximum heat for minimum fuel optimum burn occurs when the stove top temperature is between 500 F 260 C and 600 F 815 C The bricks will be nearly all white and the glass mostly clear The whiteness of the bricks and the cleanness of the glass are good indicators of your operating efficiency Not enough heat is produced when only one or two pieces of wood are burned or the wood may not burn completely A minimum of three pieces are needed to encase a bed of coals that sustains the fire Loosely stacked wood burns quicker than a tightly packed load Wood burns in cycles rather than giving a steady output of heat It is best to plan these cycles around your household routine so that only enough coals are left to start the next load In the evening load your stove at least a half hour before bed to ensure a good fire hot enough to close the draft con trol for an overnight burn Burn only dry seasoned wood It produces more heat and less soot or creosote Do not burn ocean beach wood Its salt content can produce a metal eat ing acid When refueling open the door slowly to prevent smoke spillage Use a pair of long gloves barbecue gloves when feeding the fire Because these stoves burn at the front they are clean and efficient but they are also very hot and gloves are useful Keep a
