9. Combustion principle
The stove is designed so that full of wood, with a slow flame, it will burn at maximum efficiency for several hours.
The
stove can be made to burn overnight, very slowly, with little or no flame. This is not advisable because this
incomplete combustion creates extra smoke, which, upon condensation, deposits tar on the stove, chimney and
glass panel. An accumulation of such tar deposits is not only unsightly but also requires regular chimney cleaning to
prevent chimney fires. If you are burning wet or green wood then the Combustion Air Control should be left open
enough to ensure the creation of a slow, gentle flame.
9.1. Radiant heat
This is given from the hot embers and stainless steel and vermiculite back panels. The radiant heat is transmitted
through the glass panel into the room and heats the immediate area in front of the stove.
9.2. Convection heat
Cool air enters via the cold air inlet, (A). It then passes along the base of the stove up the back and over the top
before being expelled from the primary hot air outlet, (B). This convection air reaches the farthest corners of the
room.
