Heater model installaon and operaon manual

Log Length

Logs should be cut about 1” (25 mm) shorter than the rebox so they t in easily. Pieces that are even slightly too long make load-

ing the stove very dicult. e most common standard length of rewood is 16” (400 mm).

e pieces should be a consistent length, with a maximum of 1” (25 mm) variation from piece to piece.

Piece Size

Firewood dries more quickly when it is split. Large unsplit rounds can take years to dry enough to burn. Even when dried, unsplit

logs are dicult to ignite because they don’t have the sharp edges where the ames rst catch. Logs as small as 3” (75 mm) should

be split to encourage drying.

Wood should be split to a range of sizes, from about 3” to 6” (75 mm to 150 mm) in cross section. Having a range of sizes makes

starting and rekindling res much easier. Often, the rewood purchased from commercial suppliers is not split nely enough for

convenient stoking. It is sometimes advisable to resplit the wood before stacking to dry.
