DrafTing
negaTive Pressure Warning
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
olderappliancesandfireplaces.Forthisreasonitisimportant
to match the stove to the chimney. The chimney has two
functions: 1) It draws combustion air into the appliance
(withoutair, nofuelwillburn)and2)Itexhaustscombustion
by-products. Your new Country™ Collection stove is what is
knownasa“naturaldraft”appliance. Theappliancedepends
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,
localgeography,nearbyobstructions,andotherfactors.Too
much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appli-
ance. 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 appli-
ance and 2) A chimney with not enough height to produce
adequate draft for your particular stove model. Your Lennox
HearthProductsdealerwillbeabletoadviseyouonmatching
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 uncontrol-
lable burn or a glowing red stove or chimney part indicates
excessive draft. Also see Troubleshooting on page 18.
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
Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the
relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a
result, creosote residue accumulates 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. If creosote
has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk
of a chimney fire.

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).
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,pendingfinaldisposal.If
theashesaredisposedofbyburialinsoilorotherwiselocally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container
untilallthecindershavethoroughlycooled. Ashescanignite
up to 72 hours after removal from the stove.
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 Canyon™ ST310 is painted with Forest High
Temperature 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 250 degrees (the stove should be allowed to cool
completely 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 DAMAGE 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.

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 mini-
mum 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.
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.
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 car-
ries the necessary pipe and fittings to connect to the
various listed factory-built chimneys. YOUR CHIMNEY
INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL BUILDING

tion.
8. If it is necessary to level, secure, or ground your stove,
use the holes in the bottom of the leg for those applica-
tions. 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.

15. It is required that a chimney
connector pipe not extend
further than the inner wall
of the flue when it is con-
nected to a masonry chim-
ney, and that it either be ce-
mented to the masonry or
be installed without cement
in a thimble connected to
the masonry wall. When the
connector is inserted into a
thimble, the joint must be tight enough so that it will
not be dislodged in normal use. Install connector at no
less than the minimum clearances from the ceiling when
using a 90-degree elbow to pass through combustible
constructions.
16. Chimney connector pipes should never pass through a
floor, ceiling, fire wall, partition, or combustible construc-
tion of any type unless certain precautions are taken. The

5. Next, install the front baffle bricks #41-46 under the
ceramic fiber blanket and on top of the front two stain-
less steel secondary tubes. (CAUTION: Make sure that
the ceramic fiber blankets are centered side to side and
rest flat on the baffle bricks and do not project forward
beyond the front of the baffle bricks #41-46).
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.
Measure bricks before installing, as per list of dimensions
on next page, to be sure the correct bricks are installed in
the correct location.

oPTional BloWer insTallaTion
oPeraTing hinTs
A blower, part # 71000, can be installed on the stove to
improve hot air distribution throughout the room.
To install the blower:
1.
Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood for maxi-
mum heat output. In some states it is illegal to
burn wet wood or anything other than clean,
dry wood products.
1. Remove all the contents from the blower box. In-
cluded with the blower should be a blower speed
control.
2.
3.
Your stove is designed to operate with the door
closed! Operate only with the door shut tightly
at all times except when loading wood.
2. Remove the screw 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.
DO NOT hit or move the baffle brick while load-
ing wood. Occasionally check the baffle. Make
sure the insulating blanket is always flush with
the front of the baffle brick. Loading oversized
logs may dislodge the baffle bricks.
3. Mount the blower as shown below. Make sure the
cord is at the bottom when mounted and that it
does not touch the stove anywhere. Remove the
four screws from the back of the stove. Use one of
the four screws 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.
5.
CAUTION: THE DRAFT CONTROL MUST BE
FULLY OPEN BEFORE OPENING THE DOOR
TO AVOID POSSIBLE COMBUSTION FLASH!!
(Ignition of hot volatile gases as the door is
opened).
Feeding excessive amounts of fuel to the stove
should be avoided. It is important to supply
it with sufficient draft and fuel to maintain a
moderately hot fire. If, during overnight burns,
heavy creosote deposits develop inside your
stove and on the door, the draft is set too low
- review your burning habits!
4. Plug in the fan speed control into the nearest outlet,
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.
WARNING: Intheeventthatyouremovetheblowerforany
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.

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.
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 (either too high or too low).
Adjust and recheck in 5 to 10 minutes.
6. After your stove has been thoroughly preheated,
your blower can be switched on. When refueling
your stove, turn the blower off for the first 30 min-
utes. 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.
sTarTing anD mainTaining a fire
Be sure to clean the Nickel or Gold Plated door with Win-
dex 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!!
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.
3. Place a small amount of crumpled paper in front
of the firebox and cover it with a few pieces of
kindling.

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
expecttogetextremelylongburntimesandkeepthewindow
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.

1. Thoroughly preheat your stove before slowing the
burn rate by closing the draft control.
maximizing your sTove’s overall efficiency
It is important to know that for high, combustion efficient,
clean burns, you will need to have sufficient temperatures
insidethefireboxforthoroughcombustion.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.
2. Measure the stove temperature at the hottest point
on 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 com-
pletely extinguish the flames in the firebox. Check
for at least some small flames twenty minutes after
setting the draft control.
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 slightly 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.
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.
achieving clean, long Burns
To get the most out of your stove, you will need to combine
goodcombustionefficiencywithgoodheattransferpractices.
The following are some tips on how to operate your stove
to achieve the highest overall efficiency.
To achieve long burn times, after having thoroughly pre-
heated the stove, let the stove top cool down to ꢀ7ꢃto ꢂ00
degrees (on Elites, locate thermometer on the face of the
insertjustabovethedoor). Nowloadthefireboxandsetthe
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
Country™ Collection stoves are EPA tested for emissions at
low burn with the air control completely closed. Whether or
notyoushouldburnyourstovewiththeaircontrolcompletely
closed will depend on the following factors:
* 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 Country Collection 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 or to the sides. Hot coals or half burned wood should
bebroughttowardsthefrontofthefirebox.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
secondary tubes or baffle supports are glowing red, or
when 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

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 ob-
tained. 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
chimney for large amounts of smoke as this indicates very
poor combustion.
GOLD OR NICKEL PLATED DOOR: Clean only with WINDEX
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 indication of improper use and
your burning habits should be reviewed.

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
for overnight burns.” On newer, high technology Country™
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.

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 3). 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:
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).
DIRTY GLASS:
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 4).
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).
