Andirons Help Protect the Glass

Your stove has andirons to keep logs away from the glass

panels. The andirons are essential to maintain clear re

viewing, and should be left in place. Since the andirons may

slightly hinder refueling through the front doors, most stove

owners will prefer the convenience of top loading through

the griddle. Do not place fuel between the andirons and the

doors.

Burn Only High-Quality Wood

The Dauntless FlexBurn® is designed to burn natural wood

only; do not burn fuels other than that for which it was

designed.

IMPORTANT: Do not burn any type of articial or

synthetic materials such as re starter logs (containing

wax) in this appliance. Never burn liquid-based fuels

such as kerosene, gasoline or alcohol.

Burning any materials not allowed in these instructions, or

over-ringthestove,mayvoidthewarranty.

You’ll enjoy the best results when burning wood that has

been adequately air-dried. The wood should be 16” - 18”

(406-457 mm) in length.Avoid burning “green” wood that

hasnotbeenproperlyseasoned.(Note: Properly seasoned

rewoodhasamoisturecontentbelow20percent.)Donot

burn construction materials; they often contain chemicals

and metals that can damage the inside surfaces of the

stove and pollute the air. Do not burn ocean driftwood; when

it burns, the salt it contains will attack the cast iron.

The best hardwood fuels include oak, maple, beech, ash,

and hickory that has been split, stacked, and air-dried

outside under cover for at least one year.

Ifhardwoodis notavailable,youcanburn softwoodsthat

include tamarack, yellow pine, white pine, Eastern red cedar,

r,andredwood.Theseshouldalsobeproperlydried.

Storesplitwoodundercovertokeepitdry.Evenforshort-

term storage, be sure to keep wood a safe distance from the

stove and keep it out of the areas around the stove used for

refueling and ash removal.

Surface Thermometer is a Valuable Guide to Operation

An optional surface thermometer tells you when to adjust

the air control, and when to refuel, Figure 2.7.

Figure 2.7-Taketemperaturereadingswithathermometerlocated

in the middle of the griddle.

For example, when the thermometer registers at least

450°F(230°C)onthestovetopafterstart-upyouknowthe

stove is hot enough and it may be time to close the damper

ifasu󰀩cientemberbedhasalsobeenestablished.Note

that the stove will warm up much sooner than the chimney,

though;awarmchimneyisthekeytoeasy,e󰀨ectivestove

operation. When thermometer readings drop below 350°F.

(175°C)it’stimetoadjusttheaircontrolforahigherburn

rate or to reload the stove. A temperature reading over

650°F.(340°C)isasigntoreducetheairsupplytoslowthe

burn rate.

Use the following temperature ranges as a guide:

• Readingsinthe350°-500°F.(175°-260°C)rangeindicate

low to medium heat output.

• 500°-600°F. (260°-315°C) readings indicate medium

heat output.

• Readingsof600°-650°F.(315-340°C)indicatehighheat

output.OperatingyourDauntlessFlexBurn® continuously

atgriddletemperatureshigherthan650°F(340°C)may

damagethecastironorenamelnish.

Use the Air Control Settings that Work Best for You

No single air control setting will t every situation. Each

installation will di󰀨er depending on the quality of the fuel,

theamountofheatdesired,andhowlongyouwishthere

to burn; outdoor air temperature and pressure also a󰀨ect

draft.

The control setting also depends on your particular

installation’s “draft,” or the force that moves air from the

stove up through the chimney. Draft is a󰀨ected by such

things as the length, type, and location of the chimney, local

geography, nearby obstructions, and other factors.

Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the

Dauntless FlexBurn®, and could even damage the stove.

Ontheotherhand,toolittledraftcancausebackpu󰀩nginto

theroomand/orthe“plugging”ofthechimney.

Howdoyouknowifyourdraftisexcessivelyhighorlow?

Symptoms of too much draft include an uncontrollable

burn or a glowing-red stove part. Signs of weak draft are

smoke leaking into the room through the stove or chimney

connector joints or low heat output.
