Blaze King Fan Problem ? (2024)

FAQs

Why is my Blaze King smoking out the back? ›

Inadequate drafting may cause back puffing into the room and plugging of the chimney. Inadequate draft may also cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through the appliance and chimney connector joints. An uncontrollable burn or glowing red stove part or chimney connector indicates excessive draft.

The King can burn for 40+ hours on low or produce a tremendous amount of heat for 12 to 16 hours, depending on your installation and wood type. The distance from the door opening to the bottom of the firebox is 9".

Blaze King models feature a bimetal coil thermostat This simple thermostat evens out the uneven nature of burning wood. Blaze King owners typically only adjust their thermostats once or twice and day. Nearly all other wood stoves have a damper to regulate air-flow and require more frequent adjusting.

LIGHTING YOUR FIRST FIRE

BUILD THE FIRE DIRECTLY ON THE BRICK ON THE FLOOR OF FIREBOX. Light the �ire and allow it to get a good start while leaving the loading door slightly ajar (approximately 3 to 5 minutes). (see Figure 7) DO NOT LEAVE THE UNIT UNATTENDED.

Fireplaces require a good air supply to function well. One major cause of fireplace smoke is a lack of oxygen within the room, especially in newer homes with good insulation. To fix this problem, you can open up the air vents and windows in the same room as the fireplace.

As long you have followed all the general safety precautions, you can safely go to sleep with your wood burner still lit and no need to extinguish any flames.

Keeping the coals together in the front of the stove provides a strong heat source to ignite the logs. If you leave coals across the entire bottom of the stove, all of the wood will ignite at once, and this will shorten the burn.

At 81% efficiency the King is the most efficient wood stove in the world. This allows you to get the most heat out of your wood to reduce your heating costs.

To reset, turn the thermostat to standby and then back on. If unit continues to trip, turn unit off and call a qualified service professional.

Can you burn coal in a Blaze King wood stove? ›

FUEL THIS STOVE IS FOR USE WITH SOLID WOOD, BITUMINOUS COAL OR ANTHRACITE COAL ONLY. Do not burn trash, paper, pine branches or artificial fire logs. Such abuse may void the warranty.

Getting smoke from the hopper typically means you have an air flow issue on the unit. One ting to try to determine this is to open a widow close to the stove to see if that frees up some air to move the smoke the right way up the stack.

Stoves that backpuff or smoke at start-up are extremely annoying, but fortunately the cure is simple. You need positive draft in your chimney when you light the fire. Without positive draft to pull smoke up the chim- ney, the smoke from your fire will just build in the firebox until it eventually spills into the room.

The best solution is often to install a Smoke-Guard, which is a metal strip that makes the opening of your fireplace smaller. With a more compatible ratio of flue size to fireplace opening, the fireplace should stop smoking.

This is usually caused by poor draft or draw. The chimney system does not pull hard enough to move the exhaust fumes quickly through the secondary burn off system. Volatile flue gases then ignite inside the main combustion zone (the fire) and make small puffs of smoke.
