CURING A STOVE & IN LINE SPARK ARRESTOR
YOUR STOVE PAINT AND IN LINE SPARK ARRESTOR PAINT WILL MELT AND PEAL OFF IF THE PAINT IS NOT BAKED ON PROPERLY.
THE STOVE AND IN LINE SPARK ARRESTOR IS NOT CURED UNTIL THE ENTIRE TENT STOVE AND INLINE SPARK ARRESTOR TURNS FROM A SHINY BLACK TO A DULL BLACK. You are baking the paint on to your stove and in line spark arrestor.
Set up your new stove, with all accessories, in your backyard or driveway, not in your tent. Burning wood in your new stove will leave a burning paint smell if cured inside a tent.
IF STOVE AND INLINE SPARK ARRESTORS ARE CURED TOO QUICKLY THE PAINT WILL MELT AND PEAL OFF.
HAVE AIR INTAKE ON DOOR ONLY AT ONE THIRD OPEN AT THE BEGINNING.
HAVE STOVE HALF FULL OF WOOD DURING CURING. If stove is filled completely full, the stove and in line spark arrestor will get too hot and the stove paint will melt.
Normal Burn time to bake paint on is 3-4 hours.
Increase air intake opening to 2/3 open after 3 hours if all the stove and inline spark arrestor paint has not turned a dull black. Burn times to bake paint on stove and inline spark arrestor varies and depends upon if a customer is using soft wood, hard wood, dry wood or wet wood.
YOUR STOVE PAINT AND IN LINE SPARK ARRESTOR PAINT WILL MELT AND PEAL OFF during normal use if your products do not turn dull black during curing. Dull black signals that the stove is cured properly. Pipe turns dull grey when pipe is cured.
