IRE
It is possible to fire the stove beyond its design
capacity. This could damage the stove so watch for
signs of over-firing. If any part of the stove starts to
glow red, the stove is in an over-fire situation and the
controls should be adjusted accordingly. Never leave
the stove unattended for long periods without first
adjusting the controls to a safe setting. Careful air
supply control should be exercised at all times.
