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.
