Since the Summit Insert is in and ready, I'd like to do the proper break in fires over the next month. However, I am not certain what a proper break in fire is. Can you all help me out with this.
Read the manual, it must tell you about breakin fires. They are just a seris of small fires where you bring the stove up to temp then let it go out./ after several of these I would think your good to go.Sorry but I have a bonfire out backand a six pack and some friends so I have to go.

It's basically to cure the paint and stuff like that. The paint on the stove gives off fumes the first couple fires, so crack a window if you can. A couple smaller ones are preferable to a larger one.
several small break-in fires keep surface paint fumes/smoke at manageable levels while the paint is curing, you are also testing the system.(draft, controls, ect.,.) and familarizing yourself with basic operation
I've done three fires in my new T-5. On the third one I basically didn't really smell fumes from the paint. Now it's warmed up so I don't really need a fire since the days are pleasant and I can run a space heater briefly in the morning to take the edge off.
A break in fire is what you will have this winter. People with oil or gas heat can't pay their heating bills and will break into houses with wood stoves to get warm. Jeff
