RE FUELLING
After 1 hour or so hours burning your Ecco Stove 580EC2 will need re fuelling. The fuel load
for each firing is 2 logs on a full 1.4 kg charge
–
subject to how you intend to run the stove
and the heat output you are looking for. Either way, burn the fuel charge into full
combustion then close the ash pit drawer for the secondary and tertiary air flows to take
over.
17.
TAR DEPOSITS
WARNING when wood is burned slowly it produces tar and other organic vapours which
combine with the expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours will condense
in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As a result creosote deposits form
on the flues lining presenting a fire hazard as they are highly combustible.
Creosote build-up must be removed to prevent a fire hazard within the chimneys flue.
Tar deposits will not form if seasoned logs of up to 20% moisture are burned at 160°C or
above (recorded on the top plate) within your Ecco Stove 580EC2. If tar deposits form within
the stoves flue ways or fire box it is clear indication of poor quality unseasoned wood being
burned. Damage will occur within your stove along with poor performance.

’
s internal flue ways and for stove pipe lining
