F.  Burning Process

In recent years there has been an increasing concern about 
air quality.  Much of the blame for poor air quality has been 
placed on the burning of wood for home heating. 
In order to improve the situation, we at Quadra-Fire have 
developed cleaner-burning wood appliances that surpass 
the requirements for emissions established by our governing 
agencies.  
These wood appliances must be properly operated in order 
to ensure that they perform the way they are designed to 
perform. 

1.  Kindling or First Stage

It helps to know a little about the actual process of burning in 
order to understand what goes on inside the appliance.  The 

fi

 rst stage of burning is called the kindling stage.  

In this stage:

• 

Wood is heated to a temperature high enough to evapo-

rate the moisture present in all wood.

• W

ood will reach the boiling point of water (212°F) and will 

not get any hotter until the water is evaporated.

This process takes heat from the coals and tends to cool the 
appliance.
Fire requires three things to burn:
• Fuel
• Air
• Heat
If heat is robbed from the appliance during the drying stage, 
the new load of wood has reduced the chances for a good 
clean burn.
It is always best to burn dry, seasoned 

fi

 rewood.  When the 

wood isn’t dry, you must open the air controls and burn at a 
high burn setting for a longer time to start it burning.
The heat generated from the 

fi

 re should be warming your 

home and establishing the 

fl

 ue draft, not evaporating the mois-

ture out of wet, unseasoned wood, resulting in wasted heat.

2.  Second Stage

In the secondary stage wood gives off 

fl

 ammable gases which 

burn above the fuel with bright 

fl

 ames.  

During this stage of burning:

• 

The 

fl

 ames must be maintained and not allowed to go out

 

to

 ensure the cleanest possible 

fi

 re. 

•   

If the 

fl

 ames tend to go out, it is set too low for your burn-

ing conditions.

The air control located at the upper right hand corner is used to 
adjust for burn rates.  This is called the Burn Rate Air Control.  

Figure 11.1 on page 11.

3.  Final Stage

The 

fi

 nal stage of burning is the charcoal stage.  This occurs 

when the 

fl

 ammable gases have been mostly burned and 

only charcoal remains.  This is a naturally clean portion of 
the burn.  The coals burn with hot blue 

fl

 ames.  

• 

It is very important to reload your appliance while enough 

lively hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of 
heat needed to dry and rekindle the next load of wood. 

•   

 It is best to open the Burn Rate Air and Start-Up Air Con-

trols 

before reloading

.  This livens up the coalbed and 

reduces excessive emissions (opacity/smoke). 

•  Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit ap-

pliance through opening.  

• 

Break up any large chunks and distribute the coals so 

that the new wood is laid on hot coals. 

Air quality is important to all of us, and if we choose to use 
wood to heat our homes we should do so responsibly.  
We need to learn to burn in the cleanest way possible allowing 
us to continue using our wood appliances for many years to 
come.

NOTICE:

  Improper operation can turn any wood appli-

ance into a smoldering environmental hazard.
