22 Operating Your ApplianceStarting a FireSince the dawn of time man has debated the best way to start a fire. Some use the boy-scout "tee-pee",some prefer the "tic-tac-toe" stack. Either way, review the hints and warnings below to ensure proper firestarting.• Make sure the air control and by-pass are pulled out. If additional air is needed, open the doors 1/4"during the first five minutes of start-up.Open the bypass. Leave itopen until the stove isHOT (up to 45 minutes).Pull the air controlall the way out.ALLOW THE STOVE TO FULLY HEAT PRIOR TO SHUTTING THE BYPASSWe occasionally get calls regarding a smokey stove during start-up. The primary cause isshutting the bypass prior to the stove becoming hot. If you shut the bypass too early, thecombustor will not work (the combustor must be hot for it to work properly). This in turn will slowcombustion and will lead to a smokey fire.Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to startor "freshen up" a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.If using a firestarter, use only products specifically designed for stoves - follow the manufacturer'sinstructions carefully.If the smoke does not pass up the chimney, ball up one sheet of newspaper, place it in the center of thefirebox and light it. This should start the chimney drafting (this eliminates "cold air blockage").Use plenty of kindling to ensure the stove reaches a proper temperature. Once the kindling is burningrapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood onto the fire.Starting a “Top-Down Fire”One particularly successful method for starting a fire is tostack several large pieces of wood in the center of the stove(see the illustration to the right). Then place a several wadsof newspaper in the center with kindling on top. When youlight the newspaper this “top-down” fire will burn its way tothe center, igniting the larger pieces. With some practice,this method should work for you.© Travis Industries 100-01190_000 4070808
