Valor Hamlet Multifuel Stove
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FUEL TYPES
Wood-
Any type of wood is suitable provided it is
well seasoned and has a moisture content below
20%. This usually implies that the timber has been
suitably stored to allow moisture to evaporate for at
least nine months in the case of soft woods, and at
least eighteen months in the case of hard wood. We
recommend that for general burning, wood should
be split into logs of no more than 130mm (5")
diameter.
Larger logs can be used for overnight burning.
WARNING
wet wood must not be used as this will
greatly contribute to the creation of tar and creosote
which may, in extreme cases, run down the
chimney in liquid form. This will seriously damage
both the chimney and the appliance, and increase
the risk of chimney fires.
Note: If you have sticky tar inside the appliance or
chimney your wood is 'Green' or too wet.
Recommended Reading:
"Wood as Fuel" available from the Forestry
Commission.
Peat-
Can be used in turf or briquette form, but
again the moisture content must be low.
Paper-
paper will burn successfully. Burn dry
paper only or chimney damage will occur.
NEVER BURN PLASTICS OR WASTE IN
YOUR STOVE.
Coal for Multifuel only

Household coal
produces a large amount of ash and smoke and
your chimney will require frequent cleaning.
