NOTE:Itwilltakeseveralminutesafterclosingthebypass

damper for the temperature probe to fully adjust to the new

temperature. If the probe indicator is below the operate

catalyst range, add fuel or open the bypass damper to allow

theretofurtherbuildbeforeengagingthecatalystagain.

Iftheprobeindicatorisabovetheoperatecatalystrange,

the catalytic combustor is running too hot and may be

damaged.Inmanycases,decreasingthe primaryaircan

reduce the catalyst temperature and adding less wood with

each loading can also help if overheating is persistent. Do

not add wood to the stove if the probe reads above the

operate catalyst range.

Avoidusingafullloadofverydrywoodintherebox,such

asdryslabwoodorwoodwithbelow14%moisturecontent.

This may result in continuous very high temperatures in the

secondary combustion area and damage the combustor.

Neverburntreatedwood,garbage,solventsortrash.Allof

these may poison the catalyst and prevent it from operating

properly.Neverburn cardboardorloosepaper exceptfor

kindlingpurposes.Neverburncoal;doingsocanproduce

soot or large akes of char or y ash that can coat the

combustor and cause smoke to spill into the room. Coal

smoke can also poison the catalyst so that it won’t operate

properly.

NOTE: The catalytic combustor is fragile and will crack if

subjected to thermal shock. Thermal shock can occur when

refueling with wet wood or closing the bypass damper too

early after refueling.

For best results when refueling, wear long-cu󰀨ed stove

gloves to protect your hands and forearms.

Reloading a hot stove:

Whenawoodloadisaddedtoahotbedofcoals(continuous

use),openthebypassdamperandeitherthetoporfront

loadingdoors.Stirthehotcoalstoallowashtofallthrough

thegrate.Hotcoalsshouldthenbepushedagainsttherear

wall and leveled depending on the amount of coals. Add

fresh wood and close the loading door and bypass damper.

Ifthecoalsareglowingandhot,itispossibletosettheair

control to any setting immediately after loading the stove.

Reloading a warm stove:

If the stove is relatively cold (for instance after a long

overnightburn),thecoalbedmayneedtobere-energized

priortoaddingalargeloadofwood.Openthebypassdamper

and either the top or front loading door. Stir the coals to

allow ash to fall through the grate. Push the remaining coals

towardtherearwall.Closethedoor(s)andbypassdamper

and set the primary air to the highest position. Allow the

coalstore-igniteandheatthesystemfor10to15minutes.

Oncethecoalsareglowing,afreshbatchofwoodmaybe

addedfollowingthe“hotstove”procedureabove.

A proper bed of coals is critical to the performance of the

Encorestove.Therearrefractorywallofthestoveshould

be almost entirely white in color with proper operation. This

indicates the combustion system is running at a proper

elevatedtemperature.Iftherearwallisblackwithcreosote

or develops a dark brown color, it is likely that the coal bed

isnotsu󰀩ciencylargeenoughorhotenough.Revisitthe

above instructions and adjust the amount of kindling or time

athighairsettingstogetthesystemhotter.Woodsizeor

excessive moisture may also cause lower than desirable

stove temperatures.

Whilenotrequired,operatingyourstovewiththecatalytic

combustor installed creates optimum conditions for

secondarycombustionandwillincreaseyoure󰀩ciencyup

to15%onlowburn,makingsureyougetthemostheatout

of each load of wood.

The catalytic element is a metal “honeycomb” coated

with the catalytic material. The element sits at the bottom

of the secondary combustion chamber. Smoke, gases

and particulates that are not fully combusted during the

secondary combustion process pass through the catalyst,

creatingatertiaryburn.Thisresultsinhighere󰀩ciencyand

lower emissions.

The catalyst will initiate combustion of smoke and particulates

at500°-600°F(260°-315°C),halfthetemperaturenormally

requiredforunaidedsecondarycombustion.Ifyoufollowed

the startup operation steps in the previous section the stove

willbesu󰀩cientlyhottoallowthecombustortowork.Once

the combustor starts working, heat generated by burning

the smoke will keep it working.

To determine whether the combustor is operating, refer to

the temperature probe which shows the operating range of

the catalytic combustor. This is located on the back of the

stove and is viewed from the top.
