9.1 Lighting
"TOP-DOWN" BURNING
The highest output is achieved by means of "top-down" burning. To achieve this, do not fill
the stove in the traditional way.
-
Traditional way
: what is meant here is laying down paper first, then kindling and finally large
logs. With this method the load is, however, limited when lighting the fire.
- "
TOP-DOWN" burning
: this is done by loading the large logs first, then the smaller pieces, and
the paper on top.
In this case combustion takes place from the top down and is known as "TOP-DOWN" burning.
After lighting the insert, be sure to close the fire door.
Watch out: If there is still a backdraught of flue gases 15 minutes after lighting because of the
weather conditions (strong wind or fog, for example) the fire should be extinguished until the
weather improves.
