Curing a NC30 wood stove

[Newguy777]

I posted this question elsewhere but I figured I would ask the question in a specific thread. How do I cure my NC30 for the first time. Any harm in doing it in the house after we've got everything hooked up? Obviously its cold out now, if I have a fire in it while its sitting outside and leave it to die out overnight will it do the wood stove any harm over night? Thanks

No harm in curing the stove in place. Just expect to have a few windows open. If the wife/girlfriend or whatever is fussy have her leave for a couple hours during your first firing.

Your manual will explain everything, follow it to the T. Make sure you have the proper clearances and remember, the stove may be able to be installed close to a combustible wall, but if you are using single wall smoke pipe you must have at least 18" from nearest combustibles.

First firing should be just kindling and maybe a couple 2" splits. This will drive moisture out of the bricks and no paint smell. Then you can have a good fire that gets the stove up to at least 500F. This will stink and set off smoke alarms. Have a fan in a window to exhaust the fumes. Third fire should also be hot. It will smoke a bit but not as bad. After that the bake in of the paint should be minimal.
