minutes at this maximum air setting to guarantee the

new load of fuel has fully ignited. Once the fuel is burn-

ing steadily, you may adjust the primary air supply to

provide the desired heat output.

are overring.

Reload your stove while it is still hot and there are

plenty of embers to re-kindle the re quickly. Include

some smaller pieces of wood in the new load of fuel to

help the stove regain high temperatures quickly.

Follow this procedure when you reload your stove:

• Open the damper and move the primary air lever to

the “HIGH” position.

• Open the front door and check the ash level on the

grates and in the ash pan. Clear excess ash from

the grates, particularly at the rear area. Level the

ember bed. Empty the ash pan if necessary.

• Replace the ash pan and close the front door.

• Load wood, smaller pieces rst, and close the load-

ing door.

 If the ember bed has burned down to the extent

the re cannot be revived easily, it may be necessary to

set the air control to the “Start-up” position until the re

has been re-established.

• Allow the stove to regain its “thermal momentum”

before closing the damper. This may take 15 - 20

minutes, and will be conrmed by a temperature on

the griddle of at least 500°F (260°C).

• Close the damper, and set the primary air lever for

the desired heat output.

 If the remaining charcoal bed is relatively thick

and if your fuel is well seasoned, it is possible to add

fresh fuel (smaller pieces rst), close the door and

damper, and reset the primary air within 5 minutes.

Until you are familiar with how your stove works, moni-

tor the griddle surface temperature frequently. Use

these temperature ranges as general indicators of heat

output:

Low to medium 350-500°F (177-260°C)

Medium 500-600°F (260-318°C)

High 600-750°F (318-399°C)

Continuous operation at griddle temperatures higher

than 750°F (399°C) may damage the cast iron parts or

the porcelain enamel nish of your Resolute Acclaim.

A surface thermometer can also tell you when to adjust

the controls and when to refuel the stove. (Fig. 31)

During start-up and after re-loading, for example, a

thermometer reading of at least 500°F (260°C) signals

the stove is hot enough to close the damper and shift

into the high-efciency mode.

Readings lower than 350°F (177°C) announce the

stove needs loading or it is time to increase the air sup-

ply for a higher burn rate.

At the other exteme, a temperature over 750°F (399°C)

is a warning to slow the burn rate.
