Fuel Overloading - The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded,
overloading can cause excess smoke.
17. RE-FUELLING (for smoke control areas)
When the Eco Stove has been on a minimum or 2-3 hours burning, re-fuelling should either be carried
out with two or three split logs at each time, to ensure proper and complete combustion, and produce
minimum smoke. (Fuel loaded to be maximum 60mm cross section and 300 maximum length).
Ideally re-fuel on a bright fire. If the fire has burned down to sparse embers the stove may be re-fuelled
with two or three logs upon which the ash pit draw should be drawn out maximum 1 mm for 30 seconds
to create initial combustion, then closed to allow clean air controls (tertiary and air wash) to take over.
(Follow initial lighting procedures).
Smoke may escape the door if re-fuelling is carried out on a bright or lively fire if the stove body is below
150
˚C
. Open the door to the fire box slowly when re-fuelling to minimise smoke spillage into the room
as the door will create a vacuum drawing the smoke out of the fire box unless the flue ways are above
150°C. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTNCES MUST THE STOVE BE OPERATED WITH THE DOOR OPEN APART FOR
REFUELLING OTHERWISE EXCESSIVE SMOKE WILL BE PRODUCED.
Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke
emission can occur.Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash
that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period.If there are too few embers in the fire bed
add suitable kindling to prevent excess smoke.
18. TAR DEPOSITS
Tar deposits will not form in the stove or on its flue ways if adequately seasoned logs (below 25%
moisture content are used) and the stove generally burned above 150°C with a bright fire.
If tar deposits form in either the fire box or the flue way, the fuel being burned is not adequately
seasoned and damage will occur within the stove along with poor performance.
