To rekindle a fire from hot coals, rake the charcoal
towards the front of the firebox where the combustion air enters. Place the
pieces of wood on and behind the coals. Open the air intakes fully and leave
them open until the pieces of wood are well-charred.
The above illustration shows the arrangement of logs for an extended fire.
Allow the fire to burn with bright turbulent flames until
the wood is burning well. This should take about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on
the size of the pieces and the moisture content of the wood. If the appliance
is catalytic, this will also be ample time for the catalytic combustor to
light-off. Now the by-pass can be closed and the air intakes regulated for a
nice even burning fire.
Be sure to read the stove's operating manual for complete
instructions.
