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.
