Compact stacking
09-20500-018
If the logs are stacked tightly, the wood will burn more
slowly as the oxygen can only reach some logs eas-
ily. If you want to burn wood for a longer period, make
a compact stack.

The primary air slide controls the air flow under the
grille (1).
The secondary air slide controls the air flow in front of
the glass (air-wash) (2).
The back wall has permanent vents (3) below the
baffle plate that allow for post-combustion.
Advice
Never burn wood with an open door.
Regularly burn wood with intense roaring fires.
If you burn at a low setting frequently, tar and
creosote may be deposited in the flue. Tar and
creosote are highly combustible substances.
Thicker layers of these substances may catch
fire if the temperature in the flue increases sud-
denly. By allowing the fire to burn very
intensely regularly, layers of tar and creosote
will disappear.
Low intensity fires can also cause tar deposits
on the stove window and door.
When the outside temperature is mild, it is bet-
ter to burn wood intensely for a few hours
instead of having a low intensity fire for a long
period of time.
Control the air supply using the air vent.
