Although the energy content of dry wood per kilogram is almost the same regardless of species, some burn
diff erently because of diff erences in density e.g pine is less dense than woods like gums, Manuka or Black
Wattle. A denser wood will produce a longer-lasting coal bed, while a less dense wood will bring a fi re to an
optimum burning temperature more quickly.
The size of the fi rewood pieces aff ects the rate of combustion. Larger pieces ignite and release their
energy more slowly than small pieces. Smaller pieces are better for short, hot fi res and larger pieces are
preferable for extended fi ring cycles. In general, commercial fi rewood dealers supply fi rewood in thicker
pieces than modern wood-burning heaters can handle. It is often necessary to split some of the wood
again before using it. The thickest piece size for high-effi ciency heaters should not exceed about 150mm
(6 in.) across the largest dimension and a range of smaller pieces will be needed for eff ective stoking.
Maximum log length varies according to model.
BURNING COAL
Due to their construction, the burning of coal in Jayline solid fuel heaters is prohibited. Please also refer
to ‘Exclusions’ in the Warranty Page 14.
JAYLINE WOOD FIRE MAINTENANCE
To keep your fi re burning clean and effi cient it is important that you carry out regular maintenance.
General maintenance checks should include the following:-
ASH REMOVAL
- Due to the high effi ciency of your Jayline fi re, ash removal should only be necessary
every few weeks. Ashes can be removed easily through the fi re door when the fi re is at its lowest, such as
fi rst thing in the morning, or when it is completely out. Always use a metal container to remove ash from
your fi re as ash can maintain high temperatures for several days. Jayline fi res work best when a small
amount of ash (approximately 40mm deep) is left in the fi rebox after cleaning. This insulates the bottom
and prevents the base of the fi rebox overheating and burning out. In fact, building up the ash bed helps
extend the long burn cycle, while reducing the ash bed encourages greater heat output.
SURFACES
- Jayline wood fi res have high temperature painted surfaces which just need wiping to clean
when the fi re is cold.
FIREBOX
- Check the fi rebricks, top baffl e and interior surfaces. These parts are subjected to considerably
high temperatures and stress and some parts will eventually need replacing.
DOORS
- Check all gaskets used for wear and replace if necessary. Adjust door fi tting if required.
LUBRICATION
- All moving parts should be lubricated with graphite grease every couple of months.
