1. Hardwood vs. SoftwoodYourfireplace’sperformancedependsonthequalityofthefirewoodyouuse.Onespeciesofwoodvariesverylittle to the other in termsof energy content.All sea-soned wood contains about 8,000 BTU’s per pound.Hardwoodshaveagreaterdensity thansoftwoods;apieceofhardwoodwillcontainabout60%moreBTU’sthananequal sizepieceof softwood.A cordof sea-sonedoak(hardwood)wouldcontainabout60%morepotential energy than a cord of seasoned pine (soft-wood).

Most softwoods are coniferous.These are treeswithneedle-like leaves that stay green all year and carrytheir seeds exposed in a cone. Examples of conifer-oustreesareDouglasfir,pine,spruceandcedar.Soft-woods, being more porous, require less time to dry,burn faster and are easier to ignite than hardwoods.Hardwoods are deciduous trees, broadleaf trees thatlose their leaves in the fall. Their seeds are usuallyfoundwithinaprotectivepodorenclosure.Someex-amplesofdeciduoustreesareoak,maple,apple,andbirch.However,itshouldbenotedthattherearesome

B. Troubleshooting Table

Fire is difficult to start • Refer to section 4.C. Lighting Instructions• Open air controls• Establish draft: Hold a lighted, rolled up newspaper under

the front of the baffle• Place DRY kindling over wadded up newspaper; leave air

spaces between pieces of wood• Light the paper, allow kindling to ignite and progress to a

lively burn• Slowly add progressively larger pieces of dry wood until the

fire is well established

Smoke in the house at startup • Check and clean chimney if needed• Open air controls• Establish draft• Do not use exhaust fans during startup• Do not close doors until the fire is well-established

Smoke in the house during operation • Check and clean chimney if needed• Check door rope for seal• Open air controls (ACC)

Smoke in the house during refueling • Open air controls (ACC) to establish a lively coal bed• Open doors SLOWLY• Add progressively larger wood to establish a hot fire

Fuel burns too fast • ACC not working properly• Wood too dry, mix in less seasoned wood after the fire is

established• User larger diameter wood• Check baffle/ceramic blanket for propler placement
