Help with VT castings - Vigilant Woodstove! - # 183

Question:

Hi!  Please help!  We bought this house last spring and it has a wood stove. No manual.  It’s a VT castings - Vigilant.  We have never used a wood stove before and would like to start it… Help!  I have searching the internet for at least an hour now.  There are a lot of ads but nothing that tells us exactly what to do.  Ex.  Put the wood in- start the fire- make sure….. Could you help us?  Thank you!!!

You should be able to get a manual for that stove from Vermont Castings at the link below. In addition to that, read our fine starting and tending articles in our info area.
also- the Vigilant has a “startup” mode (damper open so smaoke goes up the chimney) and “cruising” mode ( after it’s real hot - you can close the main damper….Please check this out..then go to http://hearth.com/what/specific.html for more info.
