  • Century S244, Century S244 Installation and Operation Manual 21 4.4.6.3 High Output Fires for Cold Weather When the heat demand is high during cold weather, you’ll need a fire that burns steadily and brightly. This is the time to use your biggest pieces of hardwood fuel if you have it. Put the biggest pieces at the back of the firebox and place the rest of the pieces compactly. A densely built fire like this will produce the longest burn your stove is capable of. You will need to be cautious when building fires like this because if the air is turned down too much, the fire could smoulder. Make sure the wood is flaming brightly before leaving t

  • Century S244, Century S244 Installation and Operation Manual 36 8.2.2 Masonry Chimneys The stove may also be connected to a masonry chimney, provided the chimney complies with the construction rules found in the building code enforced locally. The chimney must have either a clay liner or a suitably listed stainless steel liner. If the masonry chimney has a square or rectangular liner that is larger in cross sectional area than a round 6” flue, it should be relined with a suitably listed 6” stainless steel liner. Do not downsize the flue to less th

  • Century S244, Century S244 Installation and Operation Manual 9 2.2 Zone Heating and How to Make it Work for You Your new Century S244 wood stove is a space heater, which means it is intended to heat the area it is installed in, as well as spaces that connect to that area, although to a lower temperature. This is called zone heating and it is an increasingly popular way to heat homes or spaces within homes. Zone heating can be used to supplement another heating system by heating a particular space within a home, such as a basement family room or an addition that lacks another heat source. Although the stove may be able to heat the main living areas of

  • Century S244 Installation and Operation Manual 26 5.2.3 Cleaning the Chimney Chimney cleaning can be a difficult and dangerous job. If you don’t have experience cleaning chimneys, you might want to hire a professional chimney sweep to clean and inspect the system for the first time. After having seen the cleaning process, you can decide if it is a job you would like

  • Century S244, Century S244 Installation and Operation Manual 16 4.3.1 Conventional Fire Starting The conventional way to build a wood fire is to bunch up 5 to 10 sheets of plain newspaper and place them in the firebox. Next, place 10 or so pieces of fine kindling on the newspaper. This kindling should be very thin; less than 1” (25 mm). Next, place some larger kindling pieces on the fine kindling. Open the air control fully and light the newspaper. If you have a tall, straight venting system you should be able to close the door i

  • Century S244, Century S244 Installation and Operation Manual 15 4 Operating Your Stove 4.1 The use of a fire screen. This stove has been tested for use with an open door in conjunction with a fire screen (AC01318, sold separately). Make sure the fire screen is properly secured on the stove to avoid any risk of fire. When the fire screen is used, it is important not to leave the stove unattended to respond promptly in the event of smoke spillage into the room. Potential causes of smoke spillage are described in section eight of this manual. See Appendix 2: Installing the Fire Screen (AC01318) for installation instruct

  • Century S244, Century S244 Installation and Operation Manual 23 5 Maintaining Your Wood Heating System 5.1 Stove Maintenance Your new stove will give many years of reliable service if you use and maintain it correctly. Some of the internal components of the firebox, such as firebricks, baffles and air tubes, will wear over time under intense heat. You should always replace defective parts with original parts (see Appendix 4: Exploded Diagram and Parts List). For firing each load hot to begin a cycle as described above will not cause premature deterioration of the stove. However, letting the stove run with the air control fully open

  • Century S244, Century S244 Installation and Operation Manual 37 8.4 The Relationship Between the Chimney and the House Because the venting system is the engine that drives the wood heating system, it must have the right characteristics. The signs of bad system design are cold backdrafting when there is no fire in the stove, slow kindling of new fires, and smoke roll-out when the door is opened for loading. There are two guidelines to follow. First, the chimney should be installed up through the heated space of the house,

  • Century S244, Century S244 Installation and Operation Manual 14 3.2.6 Judging Firewood Moisture Content You can find out if some firewood is dry enough to burn by using these guidelines: • cracks form at the ends of logs as they dry • as it dries in the sun, the wood turns from white or cream coloured to grey or yellow, • bang two pieces of wood together; seasoned wood sounds hollow and wet wood sounds dull, • dry wood is much lighter in weight than wet wood, • split a piece, and if the fresh face feels warm and dry it is

  • Century S244, Century S244 Installation and Operation Manual 33 7.4 Reducing Wall and Ceiling Clearances Safely It is often desirable to reduce the minimum installation clearances by placing the stove closer to walls so the installation takes up less floor space. You can safely reduce the minimum clearances by permanently installing a shield between the stove and combustible material. The rules for safe shields can be complicated, so read them carefully and follow them exactly. Note that there may be minor regional differences in clearance reduction rules so be sure to check with your building or fire inspector before proceeding. 7.4.1

  • Century S244, Century S244 Installation and Operation Manual 22 4.4.6.5 North-South Fires Versus East-West Fires In fireboxes that are roughly square, wood can be loaded so that looking through the glass door you see the ends of the logs (north-south) or the sides of the logs (east-west). East-west loads that are built compactly break down slowly when heated, but the amount of wood you can load is limited because if you put in too many pieces, one may fall against the glass. East-west loads are excellent for long, low output fires for relatively mild weather.

  • Century S244 Installation and Operation Manual 24 5.1.2 Replacing the Door Gasket It is important to maintain the gasket in good condition. After a year or more of use, the door gasket will compress and become hard, which may allow air to leak past it. You can test the condition of the door gasket by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper. Test all around the door. If the pa

  • Century S244, Century S244 Installation and Operation Manual 45 When using the optional fan, allow the stove to reach operating temperature (approximately one hour), before turning it on. The increased airflow from the fan cools the firebox and could affect the start-up combustion efficiency if the fan is turned on too early. You can also install a thermodisc to enable the blower to start or stop automatically when the stove is hot or too cold. The thermodisc kit part number is AC05530 for a basic model

  • Century S244, Century S244 Installation and Operation Manual 20 4.4.6 Building Different Fires for Different Needs Using the air control is not the only way to match the stove’s heat output to the heat demand. Your house will need far less heat in October than in January to be kept at a comfortable temperature. If you fill the firebox full in fall weather, you will either overheat the space or turn the stove down so much that the fire will be smoky and inefficient. Here are some suggestions for building fires to match different heat demand. 4.4.6.1 Small Fires to Take the Chill Off the House To build a small fire that will produce a low heat output, use small

  • Century S244, Century S244 Installation and Operation Manual 19 4.4.4 Firing Each New Load Hot Place the new load of wood on and behind the charcoal, and not too close to the glass. Close the door and open the air control fully. Leave the air control fully open until the firebox is full of flames, the wood has charred to black and its edges are glowing red. Firing each load of wood hot accomplishes a few things: • drives the surface moisture from the wood, • creates a layer of char on the wood, which slows down its release of smoke, • heats the firebox components so they reflect heat back to the fire, and • heats the chimney so it can produc

Now place some fine kindling across the two logs and some larger kindling across those, log cabin style. Light the newspaper. 4.3.4 Using Fire Starters Many people like to use commercial fire starters instead of newspaper. Some of these starters are made of sawdust and wax and others are specialized flammable solid chemicals. Follow the package directions for use. Gel starter may be used but only if there are no hot embers present. Use only in a cold firebox to start a fire. DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE L

You can successfully heat your home by using the less desirable tree species and give the forest a break at the same time. 3.2.3 Log Length Logs should be cut about 1” (25 mm) shorter than the firebox so they fit in easily. Pieces that are even slightly too long make loading the stove very difficult. The most common standard length of firewood is 16” (400 mm). The pieces should be a consistent len
