The main lodge is heated primarily by a propane wall stove in the living room--instructions below. This will heat the living space and loft, and help heat the bedrooms. If the daytime high temperature is less than 45-50 and/or overnight low is less than 30, PLEASE RUN THE PROPANE STOVE 24/7 on low (level 1-2) just to maintain a temperature above 60-65 degrees so the back-up electric heaters will not kick on. If weather is very cold, it is best to get the lodge to 70-75 degrees in late afternoon to help hold heat overnight.
Electric Heaters
The bedrooms have electric baseboard heaters with adjustable thermostats. The bedroom electric heaters are capped at a maximum of 72 F. The heaters reset down at 10AM to 60F to conserve energy. Also, we provide plenty of warm blankets!
The electric heaters in the living space serve as a backup and only kick when temps drop lower than 59 F. Unless the propane stove isn't working, we will not turn up the thermostat on these.
General Warming Tips
1) Keep the outside doors closed--even a few minutes of an open door can dramatically lower the temperature inside.
2) Keep the main ceiling fan running at 1-2 to help push the heat around the main floor.
3) Keep the front shades open during the day when sunny & closed when it’s dark or cloudy outside.
!!! Safety & Precautions !!!
THE STOVES ARE HOT!!! The corn and propane stove gets very hot (500+ degrees!) when running. They will burn a person quickly if touched. If you have small children, it’s wise to put up the included gate while they are on.
KEEP STUFF AWAY FROM BASEBOARD HEATERS. The electric heaters, especially in bedrooms, also get very hot when running. Please do not touch them or put anything within 1-2 feet of them, especially paper, fabrics, or anything flammable. Check the house before you leave to make sure they are clear of stuff.
Operating The Propane Stove
The propane stove in the living room runs on gas alone--no electricity required. It heats up infrared elements that radiate heat onto objects; rather than heating the air directly. Once running, its output is controlled with a thermostat dial numbered 1-5. Roughly that translates to living area temperatures of:
1 = 59-65 F
2 = 65-70 F
3 =70-75 F
4 = 75-80 F
5 = 76+ F
To turn the stove on, do the following:
Stop! Read the safety information above.
Set the thermostat (gas control knob) to the lowest setting.
Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise to “OFF”. Do not force.
Wait ten (10) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas, including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow “B” in the safety information above. If you don’t smell gas, go to the next step.
Find pilot - the pilot is attached at the bottom of the burner assembly.
Turn the gas control knob counterclockwise to “PILOT.”
Push in the gas control knob all the way and hold in. Repeatedly push the piezo ignitor button until the pilot is lit (or use a match to light the pilot). Continue to hold the control knob in for about one (1) minute after the pilot is lit. Release the knob and it will pop back up. The pilot should remain lit. If it goes out, repeat steps 3 through 8.
If the knob does not pop up when released, stop and immediately call your service technician or gas supplier.
If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the gas control knob to “OFF” and call your service technician or gas supplier.
Attention! The gas control has an INTERLOCK latching device. When the pilot is initially lit and the safety magnet is energized (pilot stays “ON”) the INTERLOCK latching device becomes operative. If the gas control is turned to the “OFF” position or gas flow to the appliance is shut off, the pilot cannot be relighted until the safety magnet is de-energized (approximately 60 seconds). There will be an audible “click” when the safety magnet in the gas control is de-energized. The pilot can now be relighted. Repeat steps 3 through 8.
Turn the gas control knob counterclockwise to “HI”.
Set thermostat (gas control knob) to the desired setting from “HI” to “LO”.
Getting the corn stove going is somewhat of an art form--somewhat like a campfire! But, if you follow these instructions precisely, you will have plentiful heat for 8-16 hours depending on settings and conditions. Corn and supplies are found in the corner of the living room in the metal trashcan and on the wooden table. There are also extra bags of corn in the back-right bedroom closet.
Main points:
It takes 30-60 minutes to ensure a good start & hot air--watch the flames closely!
Don't overwhelm the fire with too much corn early on. Each kernel should catch fire very quickly once drops into the firebox with red hot embers.
If wanting more heat, turn up the fuel level very slowly every 10-20 minutes... or else you will smother the flames!
Step-by-step instructions:
Before you get started, make sure the stove is plugged in and getting power--flipping ON the switch you should immediately hear the fan. If not, check the plug or surge protector.
CLEAN OUT FRONT CHAMBER. Once the stove cools to room temperature, open the front door and clean out the chamber. Remove the burner box with gentle traction out. It will usually have ashes, and a dark, black brick at the bottom called a “clinker.” The clinker will often need to be broken up with a screwdriver. The rest of the chamber, if any contents, can be vacuumed out. An ash vac is found in the garage. Dump all debris in a bucket, and when cold, outside away from the house.
FILL HOPPER WITH CORN. Open up the top of the stove by pulling the top cover forward. Then, open the hopper lid. Dump enough shelled corn--stored in the living room's corner in an aluminum trash can-- to fill. Sift through the corn to make sure there are not any large pieces of cob or other debris; remove anything that isn't a kernel. Close the hopper lid and slide the top cover back.
FILL BURNER BOX WITH STARTER MATERIAL. Put enough firestarter bricks (tear them apart into individual pieces) to fill the burn box about halfway. This will typically be 5-10 bricks depending on the size. Place the burner box back into the chamber using two pegs at the back; it will click and hang in place.
LIGHT FIRESTARTERS. Using a stick lighter or match, ignite all of the firestarter bricks. Keep the front door open for about 10-15 seconds. Once a decent flame going, close the front chamber door. Then, quickly...
TURN ON THE STOVE. From the panel on the back-right of the stove, do the following:
Turn FUEL to “0”
Turn ROOM AIR to “Low” (pointing downward)
Click POWER to “ON/START”
Hold down the PRIME button for about 10-20 seconds or until you hear a few corn kernels fall into the chamber.
WATCH CHAMBER CLOSELY! At this point, you should have good flames going in the burner box. Keep an eye on the chamber for about 10 minutes to make sure the fire continues. Once heat building, you will start to see corn automatically fall a few at a time into the burner box.
WAIT FOR BLOWING AIR. Once the chamber gets hot enough, the stove will then start blowing hot air out the front vent. This typically takes 10-20 minutes. After the air starts blowing, wait another 10-20 minutes. The fire should be roaring, and bright red embers filling the chamber at this point.
TURN TO RUN/AUTO-OFF. Once good fire and blowing hot air for 10-20 minutes, you need to switch Power to “RUN/AUTO OFF.”
ADJUST SETTINGS FOR COMFORT. If you desire more heat, you can SLOWLY turn up the FUEL knob. It’s best to turn up only by 1/2 level every 5-10 minutes as not to smolder the fire with too much corn. In very cold conditions, you may need to turn it up to 3-4, but 2-3 is usually enough to get the lodge to 67-72 degrees. You can also adjust the ROOM AIR knob, but best to keep it at on Medium. !!! WARNING: If you turn the stove up too quickly or much beyond 5, you run the risk of putting too much corn and killing your fire/heat!!!
ENJOY THE FLAMES & HEAT! With a full hopper, the stove should now run for 8-16 hours. This will depend on the temperature outside and stove settings.
STOKE THE FIRE. If you notice the burner box starting to smolder (fewer flames, red embers, etc.) and much uncooked corn in the chamber, you may need to "stoke" the fire. To do this, turn the stove’s power OFF, then open the door quickly stir the burner box with poker, close the door, then turn the power back to RUN/AUTO OFF. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR WITH FANS RUNNING OR YOU RISK BURNING YOURSELF!
Shutting down the stove (while fire going)
POWER TO “RUN/AUTO-OFF.” Make sure the power switch is in this position. If the fire is going and you turn power to “OFF,” it may create smoke inside the hopper and house.
FUEL TO “OFF.” Turn the fuel knob to the “OFF” position, so the burner box is no longer fed corn.
FAN TO “HIGH.” Turn the room fan to “HIGH” to blow off heat from the chamber.
WAIT FOR BURN OUT & COOL DOWN. The fire will smolder, die, and the chamber will slowly return to room temperature. This can take 20-30 minutes, depending on how hot the fire is. Once cooled, you can turn the power to “OFF.”
