B. Conditioning Your Stove

Cast iron is extremely strong, but it can be broken with a

sharp blow from a hammer or from the thermal shock of

rapid and extreme temperature change.

The cast plates expand and contract with changes in

temperature. When you rst begin using your Dauntless

FlexBurn®, minimize thermal stress by letting the plates

adjustgraduallyduringthreeorfourinitialbreak-inres.

C. Wood Burning Operation

Burn only solid wood in the Dauntless FlexBurn® Wood

Stove, and burn it directly on the grate. Do not elevate the

fuel.Donotburncoalorotherfuels.IntheUnitedStates,it

is against the law to operate this wood heater in a manner

inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.

The bypass damper must be open when starting a re

or when refueling.

Do not use chemicals or uids to start the re. Do not

burn garbage. Never use ammable uids such as

gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal

lighter uid, naptha, engine oil or similar liquids to

start or “freshen up” a re in this heater. Keep all such

liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

The following procedures are important for reliable, clean

ande󰀩cientoperationofyourwoodstove.Recommend16”

logs Properly seasoned (up to a year for denser woods)

Splitto3”to6”crosssections

Cold start:

When starting your stove at room temperature and when no

burning coals are present the following kindling procedure

has been found to be the most reliable.

Stackabout4lbsofnelysplitkindling(1”diameterorless

10to20pcs)ina‘logcabin’styledirectlyagainsttherear

wall. Place a small amount of newspaper on top of this

pile with one or two small pieces of kindling on top. This

is referred to as a top down method and while providing a

slower start, also serves to preheat the combustion properly

resulting in a reliable start., Figure 2.4.

Figure 2.4-Starttherewithnewspaperanddrykindling.

Aftermostofthekindlinghasburnedintocoals (15to20

minutes), open the front doors and push remaining coals

and unburned wood against the rear wall. Add several

pieces of larger split wood between 2 to 3 inches in diameter

(about6lbs)directlyagainsttherearwallandontopofthe

kindling coals. Close the doors and bypass to engage the

combustion system. The air should remain on high for up

to one hour or until the wood is mostly converted to coals.

After a hot bed of coals is produced, open the door and

bypass damper and push the remaining coals again toward

the rear wall. Add large pieces of wood starting against the

rear wall and on top of the coals (4 to 5 pcs). Note: The

stoveisdesignedtobelledtothetop.Closethedoorsand

bypass immediately after loading the stove.

Ideally,allowthiswoodloadtoburnatthehighestairsetting

for the entire wood load. If this is not possible, the wood

should burn for at least 30 minutes prior to reducing the

primary air setting.

D. Ways to Add Fuel

Thegriddleliftsforconvenienttop-loadingoflogs,andisthe

easiest way to add fuel, Figure 2.5.

However,thefrontdoorsopenaswellforaddinganoccasional

logtothere.TheDauntlessFlexBurn® Wood Stove is not

approved for operation with the front doors open.

With the bypass damper open and the primary air set to its

highest position, light the newspaper. Leave the front door

cracked until the kindling ignites, then close the doors.

To open the front doors, insert the handle into the door latch

stub and turn it clockwise, Figure 2.6.

To close them, always close the left door rst. Turn the

handle in the right door to the left and up (to the open

position)andcloseit.Finally,pushonthedoorasyouturn

the handle counterclockwise. The doors will draw in slightly,

andthehandleshouldo󰀨ersomeresistanceasyouturnit

to the closed position.

To reduce the risk of breaking the glass, avoid striking the

glass or slamming the doors.

When you are not using the door handle, store it in the

holder behind the right front leg of the stove.

use.Frontloadingisusefulforkindlingare.
