This means the bricks have reached a high enough temperature for your stove to achieve high combustion efficiency. 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 control (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. 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. 1. Thoroughly preheat your stove before slowing the burn rate by closing the draft control. 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 completely extinguish the flames in the firebox. Check for at least some small flames twenty minutes after setting the draft control. 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 achieve long burn times, after having thoroughly preheated the stove, let the stovetop cool down to 27 to 400 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 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. NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE. 1 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 be brought towards the front of the firebox. The way you load 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. Determining the lowest setting for efficient low burns. This will require some experimentation on your part. Try closing the air control all the way with the stove temperature at 325degrees 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. Use 2 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. Itisimportanttorealizethatstovetechnologyhaschanged.
