13. Ifacreosotereshoulddevelop,theredepartment  
should be called immediately, and then attempts  
should be made to control the fire until assistance  
arrives. If a “runaway” fire should develop causing  
over-heatingofthestove, thedooranddraftregula-  
tors should be closed immediately. The fire should  
die down once deprived of oxygen. After a severe  
chimney fire, the complete chimney system should  
be checked before further use.  
14. Do not operate with a grate or with an elevated  
fire. Always build the fire on the surface of the  
firebrick.  
15. Please read this entire manual before you install  
and use your new room heater. Failure to follow  
instructions may result in property damage, bodily  
injury, or even death.  
negaTive Pressure Warning  
This appliance is not designed to be operated in a negative  
pressure. Very airtight homes with large kitchen exhaust  
fans, or homes with furnace cold air returns located in close  
proximity to the wood stove or fireplace insert may create  
negative pressure in the same room as the heating appli-  
ance. This can create dangerous back drafting of the stove  
and chimney joints, drawing combustion by-products into  
the home. Be sure your home has adequate makeup air to  
eliminatenegativepressurescausedbytheabove-mentioned  
sources. Outside air connected to the appliance probably  
will not resolve such a problem as the stove or fireplace  
insert is not the source of negative pressure. Lennox Hearth  
Products accepts no liability for damages resulting from  
negative pressures described above.  
creosoTe  
DrafTing  
Creosote---Formation and Need for Removal---When wood  
is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors,  
whichcombinewithexpelledmoisturetoformcreosote.The  
creosotevaporscondensein therelativelycool chimney flue  
ofaslow-burningre. Asaresult, creosoteresidueaccumu-  
lates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes  
an extremely hot fire. The chimney and chimney connector  
should be inspected at least once every two months during  
the heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has  
occurred.Ifcreosotehasaccumulated,itshouldberemoved  
to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.  
Your wood stove is dependent upon a properly functioning  
chimney for optimum performance. It is a high efficiency  
appliance that loses much less heat up the chimney than  
olderappliancesandreplaces.Forthisreasonitisimportant  
to match the stove to the chimney. The chimney has two  
functions: 1) It draws combustion air into the appliance  
(without air, no fuel will burn) and 2) It exhausts combustion  
by-products. Your new Country™ Collection stove is what is  
known as a “natural draft” appliance. The appliance depends  
solely on the natural draft of the chimney system to draw  
combustion air into the unit. Draft is the force that moves air  
from the appliance up into the chimney. The amount of draft  
in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local  
geography,nearbyobstructions,andotherfactors.Toomuch  
draftmaycauseexcessivetemperaturesintheappliance.Slow  
or inadequate draft equals poor combustion and possible  
smoking problems. The two main culprits of poor chimney  
draft are: 1) A chimney too large for your appliance and 2)  
A chimney with not enough height to produce adequate draft  
for your particular stove model. Your Lennox Hearth Prod-  
ucts dealer will be able to advise you on matching a proper  
system for your new stove. Inadequate draft will cause the  
appliance to leak smoke into the room through the stove  
and the chimney connector joints. An uncontrollable burn  
or a glowing red stove or chimney part indicates excessive  
draft. Also see Troubleshooting on page 18.  
ash DisPosal  
Ashes should be scooped out of a cool stove with a small  
metal shovel. Ashes should be placed in a metal container  
with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should  
be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well  
awayfromallcombustiblematerials,pendingnaldisposal.If  
theashesaredisposedofbyburialinsoilorotherwiselocally  
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container  
untilallthecindershavethoroughlycooled. Ashescanignite  
up to 72 hours after removal from the stove.  
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.  
 
Please be patient with the heat output of your stove for the  
firstfewweeks.Thesteelwillgothroughacuringprocessthat  
eliminates moisture, which is deep in the steel and firebrick.  
This moisture will reduce initial heat output of your stove  
and may make it difficult to start. After you have broken in  
the paint on the stove it will be necessary to build hot fires  
tothoroughlyremovethemoisturefromtheappliance.Run-  
ning the stove with the draft fully open for 1 to 1-1/2 hours  
after starting and adding generous amounts of fuel during  
the first week or two should complete the curing process.  
We recommend the use of a thermometer attached to the  
stovetop or chimney. Temperatures on the connector pipe  
shouldruninthe250-600degreerange.(DONOTOVERFIRE  
THE STOVE DURING THIS PROCESS. IF THE STOVE OR  
CHIMNEY BECOMES RED, REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR  
ENTERING THE STOVE IMMEDIATELY).  
fuel  
This unit is designed and engineered to burn, dry, well-  
seasoned wood only. Dry, seasoned wood is that which  
has been cut, split, and allowed to dry under a covered area  
where air is free to flow and circulate under and around the  
wood (not under a tarp or plastic). Make sure wood is not  
stacked directly on the ground, it may absorb moisture from  
the ground. It should be allowed to dry in these conditions  
for a minimum of six months, preferably one year or more.  
IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD THAT WOOD CANNOT BE  
LEFT IN ANY KIND OF WET OR DAMP AREA OR IT WILL  
NEVER BECOME COMPLETELY SEASONED. Your stove will  
not operate at the level that it is meant to unless you use  
seasoned, dry wood. Do not burn driftwood or wood that  
has been in salt water, doing so will void your warranty. Do  
not burn treated wood, coal, garbage, cardboard, solvents,  
or colored paper. Burning treated wood, garbage, solvents,  
or colored paper may result in the release of toxic fumes.  
This type of burning will also void your warranty.  
PainT curing  
Your new Striker™ S160 is painted with Forest High Tem-  
perature Paint that cures during the first few firings. We  
recommend that you put your stove through a regimen of  
three burns. The first two should last for 20 minutes each at  
250degrees(thestoveshouldbeallowedtocoolcompletely  
between each burn). The third should be a burn of at least  
450 degrees F. for 45-60 minutes. The paint will become  
soft, gummy, and emit non-toxic smoke during these burns.  
After the stove cools down for the third time, the paint will  
harden. DO NOT BUILD A LARGE ROARING FIRE UNTIL  
THIS CURING EFFECT IS COMPLETE OR YOU MAY DAM-  
AGE THE FINISH OF YOUR STOVE. Spray can touch-ups  
should be done only with Forest brand paint, available from  
all Lennox Hearth Products dealers.  
Break-in PerioD  
If your stove has a Gold or Nickel-Plated Door, be sure  
to clean it with Windex brand glass cleaner and a very  
soft cloth to remove any fingerprints and residues prior  
to the first fire and before any fire if the gold has been  
handled or soiled. Do not close the door tightly during  
the “Break-in Period.” Also, open the door frequently  
(every ꢃ-10 minutes) to keep the gasket from adhering to  
the curing paint. Ventilate the house well during these first  
firings as the paint gives off carbon dioxide and unpleas-  
ant odors. It is recommended that persons sensitive to an  
imbalance in the indoor air quality avoid the stove during  
the curing process.

2. Mount all four legs as shown in Figure 1 below.  
3. First, screw the threaded rods into the holes at the  
four corners on the bottom of the stove. Screw the  
threaded rods into the firebox three full rotations or  
3/16 to 1/4” (if the rear rods are screwed in too far  
they will lift the bricks off the bottom of the stove).  
Use a washer and nut to secure the leg. Be sure the  
legs are mounted squarely on the firebox bottom.  
Tighten nuts securely.  
4. Use the two bolts and washers provided with the  
heatshield kit to mount the heatshield as shown in  
Figure 2 below.  
5. Do not over tighten the heatshield mounting bolts as  
it may bend the heatshield.  
To install the “Outside Air Kit,” position the clip so that the  
nut is directly above the hole punched in the back of the  
heatshield (See Figure 3). Install the outside air adapter  
box on the stove by sliding it into the air channel located  
between the bottom heatshield and the stove bottom until  
the oblong ring is approximately 1/4” from the rear edge  
of the lower heatshield. Make sure the ring is facing down.  
Thread the 1/4” bolt up through the nut in the clip until snug  
against the adapter box.

11. For residential installations, install the first section of  
stove pipe with the crimped end going down inside  
the flue collar on the heater. Continue with your stove  
pipe, installing each section-crimped end down. Make  
the final connection to your chimney. Your dealer  
carries the necessary pipe and fittings to connect to the  
various listed factory-built chimneys. YOUR CHIMNEY  
INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL BUILDING  
AND FIRE CODES.  
12. Be sure to fasten each stove pipe connection with at  
least 3 sheet metal screws.  
13. Install chimney as per manufacturer’s instructions.  
Some brands of pipe may require removal of the spacer  
ring in the flue collar.  
sTove insTallaTion  
1. If not previously installed, install floor protection and  
move the heater into the desired location.  
2. Position the stove on your floor protection in the exact  
location where it is to be located, making sure all  
minimum clearances are met.  
3. If you are installing outside air on your stove, mark a 4”  
circle on the floor protection just below the oblong ring.  
When cut out, this hole will accommodate the flexible  
outside air tube.  
4. If the stove is to be fastened to the floor, locate the hold  
down brackets inside the leg box and mark the floor  
protection below the holes in the brackets.  
14. All horizontal runs of pipe should be as short as possible  
and are required by NFPA No. 211 to have an upward  
pitch or rise in the same direction the smoke travels of  
no less than 1/4” to the linear foot. The connector pipe  
must meet minimum clearances in any direction to walls  
or other combustible materials. It must attach to a listed  
double wall metal chimney  
5. If you are installing outside air on your stove, remove  
the stove and cut the floor protection and the floor  
where the 4” air tube circle had been previously drawn.  
If the stove is to be fastened to the floor, drill ½” holes  
through the floor protection only, at the marks that were  
for fastening the stove to the floor if so desired. Slip the  
flexible outside air tube through the hole in the floor,  
leaving 1” of tube above the floor protector surface,  
using tape to hold it in place.

7. If you are installing outside air on your stove place the  
hose clamp over the flexible air tube and slide the tube  
up over the 4” ring on the outside air adaptor box and  
tighten the hose clamp. Push the outside air adaptor  
forward 1/4” until full contact is made with the lower  
heatshield. Tighten the 1/4” bolt until the adaptor box is  
held firmly in place. Use silicone sealant to create a seal  
between the flexible air tube and your floor protection.  
8. If it is necessary to level, secure or ground your  
stove, use the holes in the bottom of the leg for those  
applications. To level the stove on Olympic cast legs,  
locate the front leg that is not touching the hearth pad.  
Insert the allen head screw through the slotted washer  
(supplied with the legs) and into the threaded hole in the  
bottom of the leg. See the drawing to the right. Push the  
slotted washer down until it touches the hearth pad and  
then tighten the screw into the leg. Should any other leg  
not be resting on the hearth pad, install a washer and  
screw in that leg as well.  
9. Install bricks and baffle as per instructions on page 11.  
It is highly recommended that the baffle be assembled  
before the chimney is installed so that the insulating  
fiber blankets can be adjusted into place through the  
flue collar.  
10. If installed into a mobile home, the stove shall be  
grounded to the mobile home chassis with a #8 AGW  
copper wire or equivalent.

1. Check that all chimney pipe joints are securely fas-  
tened.  
Note: Installation of the baffle bricks and insulating blanket  
is easier when you can still access the flue outlet, (before  
connecting the flue pipe). Be sure the insulating blanket is  
placed flat on the bricks so as not to block the flue. Use a  
ruler or a piece of kindling to reach over the blanket to be  
sure it is completely flat on top of the baffle bricks.  
2. Check that the heater is securely fastened to the floor  
(if applicable).  
3. Make sure the intake vent has clear access to outside  
air (if applicable).  
4. Make sure the outside air vent has been sealed  
properly to keep rodents out (if applicable).  
Measure bricks before installing, as per list of dimensions  
on next page, to be sure the correct bricks are installed in  
the correct location.  
5. Be sure all roof flashings are watertight.

then plug the blower cord into the speed control. Do  
not route the fan power cord under the stove or allow  
it to come in contact with any surface of the stove.  
Read the section Starting and Maintaining a Fire for  
proper fan operating instructions on page 15.  
oPTional BloWer insTallaTion  
A blower, part# 71000, can be installed on the stove  
to improve hot air distribution throughout the room.  
To install the blower:  
1. Removeallthecontentsfromtheblowerbox.Included  
with the blower should be a blower speed control.  
WARNING: In the event that you remove the blower  
for any reason, make sure a cover plate available  
from Lennox Hearth Products is reinstalled before  
using the heater. Excessive rear wall temperatures  
will result if the stove is burned without the cover  
plate.  
2. Remove the screws in the round knock-out plate on  
the back of the stove. Bend the knock-out plate back  
and forth until it can be removed.  
3. Mounttheblowerasshownbelow.Makesurethecord

touch the stove anywhere. Remove the four screws  
fromthebackofthestove. Useoneofthefourscrews  
with a washer on it and attach the blower through  
one of the four mounting legs on the blower housing.  
Check to make sure that the fan blade does not touch  
the large hole in the rear heatshield. (Spin it to check  
all directions). Finish attaching the blower with the  
other three screws. Tighten the screws moderately  
tight but do not over tighten as you may strip the  
holes out.

4. Light the paper and allow sufficient time for the  
kindling to become fully engulfed in flames. Close  
the door. Your door may or may not need to be left  
slightly open during this process, depending on your  
stove model and chimney draft. Once the kindling is  
burning well, larger pieces of wood may be added.  
sTarTing anD mainTaining a fire  
Be sure to clean the Nickel or Gold Plated door with  
Windex brand cleaner and a very soft cloth to remove  
any fingerprints and residues prior to the first fire.  
1. NEVER USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO START OR  
REKINDLE A SOLID FUEL FIRE!!  
5. For best results, use smaller pieces of wood to get  
stove temperature very high before loading larger  
wood for sustained burns. If necessary, crack the  
door to allow ignition of the fuel charge. Now you can  
add larger pieces of wood and after several minutes  
of high burn, set the left control for the desired heat  
output. Check the exhaust in about 15 to 20 minutes.  
Large amounts of smoke indicate an improper burn  
setting(eithertoohighortoolow).Adjustandrecheck  
in 5 to 10 minutes.  
2. Fully open the primary draft control by pulling the 1”  
plastic knob out on the left side (lower front corner)  
until it stops (away from the stove). This control  
determines the amount of air entering the stove.  
Pushing it toward the stove reduces the burn rate  
in the firebox. For your convenience, the rod on this  
control is marked with four grooves to assist you in  
obtaining repeatable burn rates.  
6. Afteryourstovehasbeenthoroughlypreheated, your  
blower can be switched on. When refueling your  
stove, turn the blower off for the first 30 minutes. On  
low and medium-low burns run the blower on low.  
These burn rates would be achieved by operating  
the stove with the draft rod fully pushed in to up to  
3/4” open (out). To do this, turn on the blower at the  
speed control and rotate the control all the way to  
the right. On medium-high and high burns you may  
run the blower on high. These burn rates would be  
achieved by opening the draft rod further than stated  
previously. To do this, turn on the blower with the  
speed control and do not rotate the switch after it  
clicks on.

TIPS  
The operator plays an important part in keeping the glass  
cleanandfreeofbuild-ups. Therstandmostimportantpart  
theoperatorplaysismakingsuretoburnonlywell-seasoned  
firewood. Wet wood = Dirty glass. Keeping your glass door  
clean is partly accomplished by the air wash system of the  
stove, which sends clean, fresh air for combustion, over  
the window before it enters the fire. The high temperatures  
inside the firebox also keep the glass clean. No stove door  
stays perfectly clean. The following are methods for keep-  
ing build-up on your glass to a minimum. When properly  
installed and operated by a knowledgeable operator, your  
glass door should require very little maintenance. Do not  
expect to get extremely long burn times and keep the win-  
dow perfectly clean. Cool temperatures cause condensation  
of unburned volatiles on the glass. If your glass gets very  
dirty during overnight burning, try preheating the stove a  
little longer before damping it down for an overnight burn.  
Also, don’t damper your stove down as low because you’ll  
get more heat for your money by burning a little hotter for  
a slightly shorter time.  
Understanding how your Country™ Collection stove works  
should help you keep your glass door very clean, but as  
stated: no glass door stays perfectly clean. We hope this  
information is helpful in keeping your glass door clean so  
that you may enjoy many hours viewing your high efficiency  
stove. For more information, contact your Lennox Hearth  
Products dealer.  
oPeraTing Techniques anD hinTs  
Recent developments in wood-burning technology have  
made wood-burning a cleaner and more convenient way to  
heat your home. Overall efficiency in a wood-burning ap-  
pliance is a combination of combustion efficiency and heat  
transferefficiency.Whetherheatingyourentirehome,orjust  
a room or two, your understanding of how to best operate  
your stove or insert will enhance its overall efficiency and  
performance. What this can mean to you is longer, cleaner  
burns, less wood use, and more heat.  
The air wash system will perform at its best at medium burn  
rates. Some stove models will self clean by burning very hot  
fires but be sure not to over-fire the stove. If it glows red it  
is over-fired. Over-firing a stove also causes the window to  
soot up. Extremely hot fires with fresh wood may cause the  
flow rate to exceed one foot per second, which is as fast as  
a flame can burn. This is why a candle goes out when you  
blow on it. Blow on it gently and it burns brightly. Blow on  
it hard and it goes out. This will cause excessive exhaust  
emissions and your window to soot up, as the stove is un-  
able to burn the gases emitted from the wood. Try slowing  
the stove down a little by closing the damper somewhat as  
it warms up.  
geTTing The mosT ouT of your sTove  
The following sections will outline techniques you can  
use to “get the most out of your stove.” Please read them  
carefully.  
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

1. Thoroughly preheat your stove before slowing the  
burn rate by closing the draft control.  
maximizing your sToves overall efficiency  
2. Measurethestovetemperatureatthehottestpointon  
the stove top or face. Use this information to repeat  
burn rates.  
3. Once preheated, add wood (if needed) and partially  
close the draft control (lower left).  
4. Operate your stove as much as possible in the low to  
medium burn ranges.  
5. Do not lower the draft setting so low as to completely  
extinguish the flames in the firebox. Check for at least  
some small flames 20 minutes after setting the draft  
control.  
It is important to know that for high, combustion efficient,  
cleanburns, youwillneedtohavesufficienttemperatures  
insidethereboxforthoroughcombustion.Thebestmethod  
for determining if you have sufficient temperatures is to  
watch the brick lining in your firebox. When you first light  
your stove, the bricks will turn a dark brown or black. After  
20 to 30 minutes of a hot fire, most of the bricks should  
return to near their original light brown or yellow color. This  
means the bricks have reached a high enough temperature  
for your stove to achieve high combustion efficiency.  
6. Do not continually operate your stove in the high  
(wide open) setting. This wastes wood by carrying  
a great deal of heat up the chimney and can damage  
your stove and chimney.  
7. Go outside and check your chimney. More than a  
very small amount of smoke indicates wasted heat,  
creosote build-up, and pollution.  
Second, and just as important, is achieving a high level  
of heat transfer efficiency. Slowing the rate of flow through  
the stove or insert enhances heat transfer, thus allowing  
more time for heat to be transferred into your home. To  
do this, be sure to thoroughly preheat your stove and then  
reduce the amount of primary air by closing the draft con-  
trol (lower left) to about 1/2 to 3/4 open. This will decrease  
the excess oxygen in your flue, which carries heat up your  
chimney, but should still be enough air to allow the stove to  
produce its maximum heat output. (More air may produce  
a lightly greater amount of heat, but will greatly increase  
wood consumption). When the area being heated reaches  
a comfortable temperature, slow the burn rate by closing  
the control to further improve heat transfer.  
achieving clean, long Burns  
To achieve long burn times, after having thoroughly pre-  
heated the stove, let the stove top cool down to ꢀꢅto ꢂ00  
degrees (on Elites, locate thermometer on the face of the  
insert just above the door). Now load the firebox and set the  
draft control. At this point, you may need to burn the stove  
with the draft open for a few minutes to ignite the wood. All  
CountryCollectionstovesareEPAtestedforemissionsatlow  
burn with the air control completely closed. Whether or not  
you should burn your stove with the air control completely  
closed will depend on the following factors.  
To get the most out of your Country™ Collection stove,  
you will need to combine good combustion efficiency with  
good heat transfer practices. The following are some tips  
on how to operate your stove to achieve the highest overall  
efficiency.  
* How you load your wood.  
* Your chimney type, height, and draft.  
* Your wood type and its moisture content.  
* The temperature of the stove.  
* Which model Stove or insert you have.

Experimentwithdifferentloadingconfigurationstoachieve  
longer burns. Try loading the wood from side to side and  
nesting it in the ashes to prevent airflow under and around  
the wood. Fresh wood should be loaded to the back of the  
firebox orto the sides. Hot coalsor halfburnedwoodshould  
bebroughttowardsthefrontoftherebox.Thewayyouload  
your wood can seriously affect burn times. If the new load  
does not ignite within a few minutes, try crisscrossing the  
load to allow more airflow around the fire, or try a slightly  
hotter stove temperature.  
Do not reload the stove for long burns when the stainless  
secondarytubesorbafflesupportsareglowingred,orwhen  
the stove is uncomfortably hot to load. This indicates the  
stove is too hot to load for a long burn. Also, do not load  
wood for a long burn on a deep bed of hot coals. Try stirring  
the coals a few minutes before loading the stove for a low  
burn to allow some of the unburned coals time to burn.  
mainTenance  
DOOR HINGES: If door hinges need lubricating, use an anti-  
seize compound (never use oil) available from your Lennox  
Hearth Products dealer.  
Determiningthelowestsettingforefficientlowburns.This  
will require some experimentation on your part. Try closing  
the air control all the way with the stove temperature at 325  
to 350 degrees. If the flames are completely extinguished,  
open the air control halfway and then slowly close it until  
there is only a small amount of flame. It is important to  
check the stove about 20 minutes after setting the draft  
control as it takes this long for the stove temperature to  
stabilize. There should still be some small flames on or  
above the wood load.  
DOOR LATCH: If your door latch fails to latch tightly and the  
gasket is in good condition, place a length of pipe (cheater  
bar) over the inside portion of the door handle and bend  
slightly toward the door until the proper  
adjustment is obtained. If the door handle does not close  
easily, apply high temperature anti-seize to the striker.  
DOOR GASKET: Periodically check gasket to make sure it is  
not over-compressed. If compressed, replace with a special  
woven Door Rope. (Don’t try substituting rope, only use  
special Lennox Hearth Products Door Rope).  
Use ꢁꢀꢃ degrees as a starting point. You can try starting  
temperatures 25 degrees higher or lower to achieve desired  
burn times, start 25 degrees lower if the stove burns the  
wood too quickly or 25 degrees higher if there are no flames  
in the firebox for more than a few minutes after loading the  
wood. You may or may not need to burn the stove with the  
air control open for a few minutes prior to setting the draft  
for a low burn, this will depend on the factors mentioned  
above. Be sure not to smolder a fire overnight. Check your  
chimneyforlargeamountsofsmokeasthisindicatesvery  
poor combustion.  
GOLD OR NICKEL PLATED DOOR: Clean only with WIN-  
DEX brand glass cleaner and a very soft cotton cloth. Other  
products may damage brass, paint, and gaskets.  
INSULATING BLANKETS: Your insulating blanket should be  
inspected during every chimney cleaning. If the blanket is  
compressed or heavily stained, it should be replaced. Heavy  
creosote stains or matting is an indication of improper use  
and your burning habits should be reviewed.  
Itisimportanttorealizethatstovetechnologyhaschanged.  
Stoves have changed a great deal in the last few years. This  
hasledtosubstantialchangesinthemethodsofoperationin  
newstovesascomparedtoolderstoves.Inoldstoveswithout  
full brick linings and ceramic insulation, the rule was “get  
the stove as hot as possible before setting the draft on low

Collection stoves, this is not necessary. Although it is still  
important to have the stove hot enough to burn efficiently,  
it will require less preheating. Once you have determined  
youroptimumoperatingtemperaturesforvariousburnrates,  
we believe you will find your stove an extremely convenient  
way to achieve your heating needs.  
GLASS CLEANING: Only clean glass with products specifi-  
cally made to use on wood stoves. Other products could  
damage gaskets and paint. Never scrape glass with a razor  
blade. This can pit the glass and make it impossible to clean  
in the future.  
WINDOW GASKET: The window gasket can be checked by  
running the flame of a match near the gasket and  
around the door. If the flame is drawn in around the window,  
the gasket should be replaced.  
DOOR HANDLE: Door handle may become tight as you  
use the stove. Free the handle up by using dry graphite  
supplied with the stove. The directions are included with  
the graphite.

soluTion  
POOR DRAFT:  
Extend chimney in length or have the chimney realigned to the proper size flue. Oversized  
chimneys normally have poor drafts. Remember, the stoves’ draft depend solely on the natural  
draft of the chimney (See Drafting section on page 4). If your stove is not drafting properly,  
your chimney is the problem. All stoves are thoroughly tested to ensure proper draft with the  
correct size chimney flue.  
EXCESSIVE DRAFT:  
DIRTY GLASS:  
With better chimneys being more common, excessive draft can be an issue. Alleviate excessive  
draft by slowing the burn rate of the stove once it has reached proper operating temperature  
(See Maximizing Your Stoves Overall Efficiency on page 16).  
1) Burn smaller, hotter fires and check to make sure you are not setting the draft down too far  
with the draft control.  
2) Make sure your wood is well-seasoned and dry (not open to rain - see Creosote and Fuel  
sections on page 3).  
3) See Poor Draft section (above) and Clean Glass on page 15 .  
SMOKES WHEN  
DOOR IS OPEN:  
1) If smoke is entering the room, check to make sure your baffle bricks are properly installed  
and that the insulating blanket is pushed back flush with the front of the baffle brick.  
2) Check the chimney for blockage due to creosote (see Chimney & Creosote sections on  
pages 3 and 4).  
3) Check draft (See POOR DRAFT section above).  
WOOD BURNS  
TOO FAST:  
1) The draft control must be closed further.  
2) Add fuel at lower firebox temperatures.  
3) Load wood side to side and reduce the flow of air under wood.  
4) The door seal may need replacing, check for leakage.  
5) See “Excessive Draft.”  
POOR HEAT  
OUTPUT:  
1) Check your wood. Wet, moist, unseasoned wood will not produce heat.  
2) Your stove needs to be seasoned (moisture removed from the steel and brick). Continue  
to burn a fire. It normally takes from one to three weeks of burning to season your stove (See  
Break-in Procedures on page 5).  
3) See Excessive Draft section above.  
PAINT GIVES OFF  
ODOR (smoke):  
Paint is tempering-in. Burn only moderately hot for the first few days until paint is fully cured.  
Then burn a very hot fire to cure any paint that may not easily cure. Open windows or door to  
ventilate (See Break-in Procedures on page 5).
