A
. Design, Installation & Location Considerations  
Consideration must be given to:  
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be  
given serious consideration:  
•
•
•
•
Safety  
Convenience  
Traffic flow  
Chimney and chimney connector required  
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of  
your home to ensure your safety. They should be  
located away from the heating appliance and close  
to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector  
manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions,  
and be sure to maintain regularly.  
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact  
measurements for clearances and floor protection, before  
actually beginning the installation. If you are not using an  
existing chimney, place the appliance where there will be a  
clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney through the  
ceiling and roof.  
2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to  
contend with small fires resulting from burning embers.  
3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two  
escape routes.  
We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your  
insurance company representative review your plans before  
and after installation  
4. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:  
In the event of a chimney fire:  
If this appliance is in an area where children may be near it  
is recommended that you purchase a decorative barrier to go  
in front of the appliance. Remember to always keep children  
away while it is operating and do not let anyone operate  
this appliance unless they are familiar with these operating  
instructions.

Isle Royale Wood Stove  
C. Negative Pressure  
To minimize the affects of negative air pressure the following  
must be considered:  
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances  
successfully. Considerations for successful draft include:  
•
Install the outside air kit. Install the intake on the  
side of the house towards prevailing winds during the  
heating season.  
•
•
Preventing negative pressure  
Location of appliance and chimney  
•
•
•
•
Ensure adequate outdoor air is supplied for combus-  
tion appliances and exhaust equipment.  
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-  
able for the stove to operate properly. Causes for this imbal-  
ance include:  
Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are  
not located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance,  
•
•
•
Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath) etc.)  
Range hoods  
Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways  
or small isolated spaces.  
Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water  
heaters and other combustion appliances  
Recessed lighting should be of “sealed can” design;  
attic hatches weather stripped or sealed; and attic  
mounted ductwork and air handler joints and seams  
taped or sealed.  
•
•
Clothes dryers  
Location of return-air vents to furnace or air condi-  
tioning  
•
•
Imbalances of HVAC air handling system  
Upper level air leaks  
WARNING  
Asphyxiation Risk.  
•
•
•
Recessed lighting  
Attic hatch opening  
Duct leaks  
• Negative pressure can cause spillage of  
combustion fumes, soot and carbon mon-  
oxide.  
• Appliance needs to draft properly for  
safety.

F. Tools And Supplies Needed  
D. Flue Draft Considerations  
Location of the appliance and chimney will affect perfor-  
mance. As shown in Figure 6.1 on page 6 the chimney  
should:  
Before beginning the installation be sure that the following  
tools and building supplies are available.  
•
Be installed through the warm space enclosed by the  
building envelope. This helps to produce more draft,  
especially during lighting and die down of the fire.  
Framing Material  
Hi-Temp Caulking Material  
Gloves  
Reciprocating saw  
Pliers  
Hammer  
Framing Square  
Electric Drill & Bits (1/4”)  
Safety Glasses  
1/2 in. - 3/4 in. length, #6 or  
#8 self drilling screws (need 3  
per pipe section connection)  
Phillips Head Screwdriver  
Flat Blade Screwdriver  
Plumb Line  
Level  
Tape Measure  
•
•
Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes  
the affects of wind turbulence and down drafts.  
Consider the appliance location in order to avoid  
floor and ceiling attic joists and rafters.  
Exterior conditions such as roof line, surrounding trees,  
prevailing winds and nearby hills can influence stove  
performance. Your local dealer is the expert in your geographic  
area and can usually make suggestions or discover solutions  
that will easily correct your flue problem.  
G. Inspect Appliance & Components and  
Pre-Burn Check List  
T
o be sure that your appliance burns properly, the chimney  
draft (static pressure) should be approximately -.04 inch water  
column (W.C.) during a low burn and -.10 inch W.C. during a  
high burn, measured 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the  
appliance after one hour of operation at each burn setting.  
1.  
2.  
Place the appliance in a location near the final  
installation area and follow the procedures below:  
Open the appliance and remove all the parts and  
articles packed inside the Component Pack. Inspect  
all the parts and glass for shipping damage. Contact  
your dealer if any irregularities are noticed.  
NOTE: These are guidelines only, and may vary somewhat  
for individual installations.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
7.  
All safety warnings have been read and followed.  
This Owner’s Manual has been read.  
Floor protection requirements have been met.  
Venting is properly installed.  
E. Venting Systems  
The venting system consists of a chimney connector (also  
known as stove pipe) and a chimney. These get extremely  
hot during use. Temperatures inside the chimney may  
exceed 2000°F (1100°C) in the event of a creosote fire. To  
protect against the possibility of a house fire, the chimney  
connector and chimney must be properly installed and  
maintained. An approved thimble must be used when a  
connection is made through a combustible wall to achimney.  
Achimney support package must be used when a connection  
is made through the ceiling to a prefabricated chimney.  
These accessories are absolutely necessary to provide  
safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling material.  
Follow venting manufacturer’s clearances when installing  
venting system.  
The proper clearances from the appliance and  
chimney to combustible materials have been met.  
8.  
The masonry chimney is inspected by a professional  
and is clean, or the factory built metal chimney is  
installed according to the manufacturer’s instruc-  
tions and clearances.  
9.  
The chimney meets the required minimum height.  
All labels have been removed from the glass door.

3. Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed  
and operated.  
Figure 16.1 - Solid Pack Chimney with Metal Supports  
as a Thimble (Cont’d)  
The following bullets list the more critical requirements for a  
properly constructed chimney:  
Chimney Height / Rise and Run  
This product was designed for and tested on a 6 inch  
(152mm) chimney, 12 to 14 feet (420-480cm) high, (includes  
stove height) measured from the base of the appliance to  
the the top of the chimney (not including chimney cap).  
The further your stack height or diameter varies from this  
configuration, the possibility of performance problems exists.  
•
The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or modular  
block, must be a minimum of 4 inches (102mm) nominal  
thickness.  
•
•
A chimney of rubble stone must be at least 12 inches  
(305mm) thick.  
The chimney must have a fire clay flue liner (or equivalent)  
with a minimum thickness of 5/8 inch (16mm) and must  
be installed with refractory mortar.  
Chimney height may need to be increased by 2 - 3% per  
each 1000 feet above sea level. It is not recommended to  
use offsets or elbows at altitudes above 4000 feet above sea  
level or when there are other factors that affect flue draft.  
•
An equivalent liner must be a listed chimney liner system  
or other approved material.  
•
•
Since an oversized flue contributes to the accumulation  
of creosote, the size of the flue should be checked to  
determine that it is not too large for the insert.  
WARNING  
Fire Risk.  
The chimney should also be checked to ensure it meets  
the minimum standard of the National Fire Protection  
Association (NFPA) Standard 211.  
Inspection of Chimney:  
•
•
•
Chimney must be in good condition.  
Meets minimum standard of NFPA 211  
•
•
A chimney support package must be used when a  
connection is made through the ceiling to a factory built  
chimney.  
Factory-built chimney must be 6 inch  
(152mm) UL103 HT.  
An approved thimble and chimney support package  
are absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances to  
combustible wall and ceiling material.  
WARNING  
Asphyxiation Risk.  
NOTICE: In Canada, the installation shall conform to  
CAN/CSA-B365.  
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIM-  
NEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER APPLI-

A. Over-Firing Your Appliance  
WARNING  
Fire Risk  
Do not over-fire.  
WARNING  
FIRE RISK.  
• DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE  
FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPTHA OR  
ENGINE OIL.  
Over-firing may ignite creosote or will damage  
the stove and chimney.  
• DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START A  
FIRE.  
To prevent over-firing your stove, DO NOT:  
•
•
•
•
Use flammable liquids  
Overload with wood  
Burn trash or large amounts of scrap lumber  
Permit too much air to the fire  
• Do NOT burn treated wood or wood with salt (driftwood).  
• May generate carbon monooxide if burn material other  
than wood.  
May result in illness or possible death.  
1. Symptoms of Over-Firing  
Symptoms of over-firing may include one or more of the  
following:  
Hardwood vs Softwood  
Your appliance performance depends on the quality of the  
firewood you use.  
• Chimney connector or appliance glowing  
• Roaring, rumbling noises  
• Loud cracking or banging sounds  
• Metal warping  
•
•
•
•
Seasoned wood contains about 8,000 BTUs per pound .  
Hard woods are more dense than soft woods.  
Hard woods contain 60% more BTUs than soft woods.  
• Chimney fire  
Hard woods require more time to season, burn slower and  
are harder to ignite.  
2. What To Do if Your Stove is Over-Firing  
•
•
•
Soft woods require less time to dry, burn faster and are  
easier to ignite.  
• Immediately close the door and air controls to reduce  
air supply to the fire.  
Start the fire with softwood to bring the appliance up to  
operating temperature and to establish draft.  
• If you suspect a chimney fire, call the fire department  
and evacuate your house.  
Add hardwood for slow, even heat and longer burn time.  
• Contact your local chimney professional and have  
your stove and stove pipe inspected for any damage.  
• Do not use your stove until the chimney professional  
informs you it is safe to do so.

Moisture  
C. Burning Process  
The majority of the problems appliance owners experience  
are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood.  
In recent years there has been an increasing concern about  
air quality. Much of the blame for poor air quality has been  
placed on the burning of wood for home heating.  
•
Wet, unseasoned wood requires energy to evaporate the  
water instead of heating your home, and  
In order to improve the situation, we at Quadra-Fire have  
developed cleaner-burning wood appliances that surpass  
the requirements for emissions established by our governing  
agencies.  
•
Causes evaporating moisture which cools your chimney,  
accelerating formation of creosote.  
WARNING  
These wood appliances must be properly operated in order  
to ensure that they perform the way they are designed to  
perform.  
Fire Risk.  
•
•
•
Do NOT burn wet or green wood.  
Store wood in dry location.  
Stack wood so both ends are exposed to air.  
NOTICE: Improper operation can turn any wood appli-  
Wet, unseasoned wood can cause accumulation of  
creosote.  
ance into a smoldering environmental hazard.  
1. Kindling or First Stage  
Seasoned Wood  
It helps to know a little about the actual process of burning in  
order to understand what goes on inside the appliance. The  
first stage of burning is called the kindling stage.  
•
•
•
Cut logs to size  
Split to 6 inches (152 mm) or less in diameter  
Air dry to a moisture content of not more than 20%  
In this stage:  
• Wood is heated to a temperature high enough to evapo-  
rate the moisture present in all wood.  
-
-
Soft wood - about nine months to dry  
Hard wood - about eighteen months to dry  
• Wood will reach the boiling point of water (212°F) and will  
not get any hotter until the water is evaporated.  
NOTICE: Seasoning time may vary depending on drying  
conditions.  
This process takes heat from the coals and tends to cool the  
appliance.  
Fire requires three things to burn:  
Storing Wood  
• Fuel  
• Air  
Steps to ensure properly seasoned wood:  
•
•
•
•
Stack wood to allow air to circulate freely around and  
through woodpile.  
• Heat  
If heat is robbed from the appliance during the drying stage,  
the new load of wood has reduced the chances for a good  
clean burn.  
Elevate wood pile off ground to allow air circulation  
underneath.  
Smaller pieces of wood dry faster. Any piece over 6 in.  
(152 mm) in diameter should be split.  
It is always best to burn dry, seasoned firewood. When the  
wood isn’t dry, you must open the air controls and burn at a  
high burn setting for a longer time to start it burning.  
Wood (whole or split) should be stacked so both ends of  
each piece are exposed to air. More drying occurs through  
the cut ends than the sides.  
The heat generated from the fire should be warming your  
home and establishing the flue draft, not evaporating the mois-  
ture out of wet, unseasoned wood, resulting in wasted heat.  
•
Store wood under cover to prevent water absorption  
from rain or snow. Avoid covering the sides and ends  
completely.  
2. Second Stage  
In the secondary stage wood gives off flammable gases which  
burn above the fuel with bright flames.  
WARNING  
Fire Risk  
During this stage of burning:  
• The flames must be maintained and not allowed to go out  
to ensure the cleanest possible fire.  
• If the flames tend to go out, it is set too low for your burn-  
ing conditions.  
Do NOT store wood:

E. Air Controls  
The Primary Air Slide Control located under the ashlip ad-  
justs the burn rates. Figure 23.1.  
Start-Up Air System  
The combustion air enters at the rear of the firebox through  
the rear air tubes. This air supply is controlled by the Start-  
up Air Control. For more air push control in, for less air pull  
control out.  
3. Final Stage  
The final stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This occurs  
when the flammable gases have been mostly burned and  
only charcoal remains. This is a naturally clean portion of  
the burn. The coals burn with hot blue flames.  
Primary Air System  
The primary air enters below the ash catcher and is directed  
to the upper front of the firebox, near the top of the glass  
door and to the lower front of firebox. This preheated air sup-  
plies the necessary fresh oxygen to mix with the unburned  
gases, helping to create secondary, tertiary and quaternary  
combustions. This air is regulated by the Primary Air Slide  
Control. For more primary air slide control left, for less air,  
slide control to the right.  
• It is very important to reload your appliance while enough  
lively hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of  
heat needed to dry and rekindle the next load of wood.  
•
It is best to open the Primary Air Slide Control and the  
Start-Up Air Controls before reloading. This livens up  
the coalbed and reduces excessive emissions (opacity/  
smoke).  
• Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit ap-  
pliance through opening.  
• Break up any large chunks and distribute the coals so  
that the new wood is laid on hot coals.  
Air quality is important to all of us, and if we choose to use  
wood to heat our homes we should do so responsibly.  
We need to learn to burn in the cleanest way possible al-  
lowing us to continue using our wood appliances for many  
years to come.

I. Building A Fire  
WARNING  
Before lighting your first fire make certain that the  
baffle is correctly positioned. It should be resting  
against the rear support.  
Fire Risk.  
• DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE  
FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPTHA OR  
ENGINE OIl.  
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:  
• Do NOT burn treated wood or wood with salt (driftwood).  
• May generate carbon monoxide if burn material other  
than wood.  
May result in illness or possible death.  
1. Place several wads of crushed paper on the firebox floor.  
Heating the flue with slightly crumpled newspaper  
before adding kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.  
WARNING  
2. Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.  
Fire Risk.  
3. Open Start-Up Air Control and Primary Air Slide Control  
fully. After 5 to 15 minutes, when the fire is well established,  
gently pull Start-Up Air Control forward until resistance is  
felt. Do not allow control to "spring back" into the open  
position.  
Keep combustible materials, gasoline  
and other flammable vapors and liquids  
clear of appliance.  
•
•
Do NOT store flammable materials in the appliance’s  
vicinity.  
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.  
DO NOT USE GASOLINE, LANTERN FUEL,  
KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR  
SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A  
FIRE IN THIS HEATER.  
5. Light the paper in the stove. NEVER light or rekindle stove  
with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter fluid;the results  
can be fatal.  
•
•
Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it  
is in use.  
6. Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full-length  
logs 3 inches (76mm) or 4 inches (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.  
Combustible materials may ignite.  
WARNING  
Fire Risk.  
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.  
•
•
Do not leave the fire unattended when the door  
is unlatched or when using the firescreen.  
8. Adjust the Start-Up Air Control and Primary Air Slide Con-  
trol; the more you close down (slide right) the Primary Air  
Slide Control, the lower and slower the fire will burn. The  
more you open (slide left) the Primary Air Slide Control,  
the more heat will be produced. The Start-Up Air Control  
is only used for the first 5 to 15 minutes.  
Unstable firewood could fall out of the firebox  
creating a fire hazard to your home.  
CAUTION  
9. As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 7 and 8 will  
maintain a continuous fire throughout the season.

•
Curing of high temperature paint.  
Open windows for air circulation.  
NOTE: The special high temperature paint that your stove is  
finished with will cure as your stove heats. You will  
notice an odor and perhaps see some vapor rise from  
the stove surface; this is normal. We recommend that  
you open a window until the odor dissipates and paint  
is cured.  
Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

out the burn at your desired setting.  
•
Do not place combustible objects within 48 inches  
in front of the appliance.  
3. Medium burn settings: The blower should be left off  
until a good burn is established, then turned on at your  
desired setting.  
•
High temperatures may ignite clothing, furniture or  
draperies.  
4. Low burn setting: The blower tends to cool off the  
stove. Leave blower off until burn is well established.  
Then turn on at your desired rate.  
5. The highest blower speed is obtained by turning the  
speed control on and then adjusting counterclockwise  
towards "OFF" as far as possible without turning the  
blower off. For a low blower speed, turn the control knob  
clockwise as far as possible.  
K. Opacity (Smoke)  
Opacity is the measure of how cleanly your appliance is  
burning.  
Maintain 4 ft (1.22m) clearance to  
combustible in front of appliance  
Opacity is measured in percent:  
• 100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by  
the smoke column from a chimney, and  
• 0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen.  
As you become familiar with your appliance, you should peri-  
odically check the opacity. This will allow you toknow how to  
burn as nearly smoke-free as possible (goal of 0% opacity).

L. Frequently Asked Questions  
ISSUES  
SOLUTIONS  
Odor from appliance  
When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours. This is  
caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.  
Metallic noise  
Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to  
the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or  
longevity of the appliance.  
Whirring sound  
The blower may produce a whirring sound which increases in volume as the speed is  
increased.

A. General Maintenance  
•
•
Frequency: Weekly when in constant operation or as  
needed.  
By: Homeowner  
1. Creosote (Chimney) Cleaning  
•
Frequency: Every 2 months during heating season or as  
recommended by a certified chimney sweep; more frequently  
if chimney exceeds or is under 12-14 ft. (measured from base  
of appliance)  
CAUTION  
Injury Risk.  
•

Gloves recommended  
1. Remove all ash from the firebox and extinguish all hot embers  
before disposal. Allow the appliance to cool completely. It is  
also recommended that before each heating season the entire  
system be professionally inspected, cleaned and repaired if  
necessary.  
Ash coals can remain extremely hot for  
several days.  
1. The stove and ashes must be completely cooled down before  
using the Ash Removal System.The hinged door will open  
from the right hand side. Pull ash pan out carefully.  
2. Close the door tightly and proceed with sweeping the chimney.  
3. Sweep the collected ashes into the ash removal box, and empty.  
Clean out the remaining ashes from firebox.  
2. Clean ash down through the ash removal system grate into  
the drawer below. If there are large pieces in the ashes, you  
can remove the grate before brushing the ash into the drawer.  
4. Open top-loading door and vacuum out.  
3. Be sure to replace the grate before operating the stove.  
Remember to leave 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6-13mm) of ash on the  
firebox floor to act as a natural grate, allowing air to flow freely  
underneath wood  
Inspection: Inspect the system at the appliance connection and at  
the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote deposits  
quicker, so it is important to check the chimney from the top as well  
as from the bottom.  
4. Replace ash pan and close ash door handle. Dispose of the  
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.  
ashes following the directions on page 23.  
The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue  
of a newly-started or a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote  
residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote  
creates an extremely hot fire which may damage the chimney or  
even destroy the house.  
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected once  
every 2 months during the heating season to determine if a creosote  
or soot buildup has occurred. If creosote or soot has accumulated,  
it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

Frequency: As desired  
By: Homeowner  
•
•
Frequency: When ash is within 1-3/4 in. (44mm) of firebox  
lip  
By: Homeowner  
Clean glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Abrasive  
cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack. If the  
deposits on the glass are not very heavy, normal glass  
cleaners work well. Heavier deposits may be removed  
by using a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or by using  
a commercially available oven cleaner.  
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 away from all combustible materials, pending final  
disposal.  
After using an oven cleaner, it is advisable to remove any  
residue with a glass cleaner or soap and water. Oven  
cleaner left on during the next firing can permanently  
stain the glass and damage the finish on plated metal  
surfaces.  
If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise  
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed  
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.  
Aportion of the combustion air entering the firebox is deflected  
down over the inside of the door glass. This air flow “washes”  
the glass, helping to keep smoke from adhering to its surface.  
WARNING  
Fire Risk.  
Disposal of Ashes  
When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be flowing over  
the glass and the smokey, relatively cool condition of a low  
fire will cause the glass to become coated.  
•
Ashes should be placed in metal container with tight  
fitting lid.  
•
•
Do not place metal container on combustible surface.  
Ashes should be retained in closed container until all  
cinders have thoroughly cooled.  
Operating the appliance with the Primary Air Control all  
the way open for 15-20 minutes should remove the built up  
coating.

Isle Royale Wood Stove  
Troubleshooting Guide  
10  
With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your woodstove will provide years of trouble-free service. If you do  
experience a problem, this troubleshooting guide will assist you or a qualified service person in the diagnosis of a problem  
and the corrective action to be taken.  
Start Fire Problems  
Possible Cause  
Solution  
Can not get fire started  
Excessive smoke or spillage  
Burns too slowly  
Not enough kindling/paper or no Use dry kindling, more paper. Arrange kindling &  
kindling/paper  
wood for air movement.  
Not enough heat output  
Check for restricted termination cap  
Check for blockage of outside air kit (if installed).  
Check for flue blockage.  
Pre-warm flue before starting fire (refer to Building  
a Fire Section).  
Not enough air for fire to ignite  
Check for adequate vent height (refer to Chimney  
Height Section).  
Open window below the appliance towards the  
wind.  
Wood condition is too wet, too  
large  
Use dry, seasoned wood (refer to Seasoned Wood  
Section).  
Bed of coals not established  
before adding wood  
Start with paper & kindling to establish bed of  
coals (refer to Building a Fire Section).  
Flue blockage such as birds’  
nests or leaves in termination  
cap  
Have chimney inspected for creosote and cleaned  
by a certified chimney sweep.  
Down draft or negative pressure Do not use exhaust fans during start-up (refer to  
Competition with exhaust  
devices  
Negative Pressure Section).  
Open window below the appliance towards the  
wind.  
Fire burns too fast  
Mix in hardwood.  
Mix in less seasoned wood after fire is established  
(refer to Wood Fuel Section).  
Extremely dry or soft wood  
Overdrafting  
Check for correct vent height; too much vertical  
height creates overdrafting.
