fire and rust is still likely to form.
This is normal and not a problem,
the level of moisture is increased
when burning solid fuel.
Polishing with WD-40 and fine wire
wool is highly recommended on a
periodic basis. The areas of the
basket or register grate near the
burning area are subject to
‘tempering’ which is discolouration
of the metal, this is normal and not
a problem. The level of
discolouration is increased when
burning solid fuel. Burn small fires
initially to temper the metal slowly.

wool is highly recommended on a
periodic basis.
The basket will be subject to

more frequent sweeping is
recommended. The best time to
have your chimney swept is at the
start of the heating season.
