(4) Materials containing plastic;
(5) Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or
asphalt products;
(6) Materials containing asbestos;
(7) Construction or demolition debris;
(8) Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
(9) Manure or animal remains;
(10) Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water
saturated materials;
(11)Unseasoned wood; or
(12)Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard. The
prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit
the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust,
wax and similar substances for the purpose of starting a fire in
an affected wood heater. Burning these materials may result in
release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and
cause smoke.
Wood storage
The readily cordwood must be store into dry place, away from
bad weather.
It should not be store under the stove or too close of it.
If any wood is stored next to the stove it must respect the
minimum clearances to avoid self-ignition temperature.
10 inches (25.4 cm) behind.
20 inches (50.8 cm) beside.
48 inches (122 cm) in front of it.
DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up
through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby
obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause
excessive temperatures in the appliance and may damage the
appliance.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates
excessive draft.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into
the room through appliance and chimney connector joints.’
Maintenance
Ash Removal
The wood burning make some residual called ash and must be
remove from the combustion chamber to help oxygen
circulation
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your firebox, and
when the fire has burn down and cooled, remove excess
ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the
firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
The ash have to be removed periodically every 2 or 3 days into
heavy warming period. Never had excessive accumulation into
the combustion chamber because it can reduce performances
of your stove by diminish the air circulation between logs.
The best time to remove ash is after a long warming period like
morning when the stove is relatively cold enough to manipulate
ash and the chimney is yet hot. The hot chimney draft will
vacuum the dust inside the stove.
To clean combustion chamber from ash you must have the
following tool.
•
Ash shovel
•
Ash brush.
•
A metal bucket with airtight lid.
Some embers is mix with ash and still lit a few hours or a few
days. Is very important than the metal lid was airtight. The
bucket must be put on a non-combustible tile or brick.
Ash Disposal
Some embers is mix with ash and can still lit. If embers have
enough oxygen it can still lit some hours and so some few
days.
It’s mandatory to store ash pending disposal:
•
Into a metal container with an airtight metal lid
correctly closed
•
Outside the house on a non-combustible material.
•
Far enough any combustible material.
•
Far enough any inflammable liquid and vapor.
•
Enough long to be thoroughly cooled.
If the ash are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until
all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
NEVER PUT TRASH INTO THE ASH CONTAINER
Creosote Formation
When wood is burning slowly, it produces tar and other organic
vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapor condense in the relatively cool
chimney flue of a slow-burning fire As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining, When ignited this
creosote makes an extremely hot fire
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspect at least
once a week during the first month after buying your stove to
determine if a creosote buildup has occurred and to see how
often you have to sweep it. Warmer is your fire, less creosote
buildup as occurred.
Contact your local fire authority to know how to handle a
chimney fire.
