BURNING WOOD SAFELY
WS-MS-RFG-W-CE and WS-MS-RFG-IR-W-CE models are approved to allow the burning of wood in the cooking chamber in
addition to the gas burners� When burning wood, the fire should be placed to one side of the oven chamber, as close to the door
opening as is possible (this is often described as the 8 o’clock or 4 o’clock position)� Burn a maximum of 6�8 kg (15 lbs�) of wood
per hour�
If flames spill out of the doorway, or the oven temperature exceeds 454 °C (850 °F), you are over firing the oven.
Make every effort to keep ash and other debris out of the radiant burner well� Do not use
the radiant burner as a “backstop” when shoveling ash and/or coals out of the oven�
Burner
problems resulting from debris or ash in the burner well will not be covered by the
oven warranty.
Using the oven floor brush and ash shovel, move debris only toward the
oven doorway and dispose of safely�
NOTE: Ovens burning solid fuel require a more frequent maintenance schedule. Call
with questions regarding maintenance frequency.
DO NOT USE THE RADIANT BURNER TO IGNITE WOOD
OR SUPPORT THE WOOD FIRE.
The interior floor and dome of the oven do not require creosote or soot removal� The oven
flue and exhaust system will require inspection and cleaning� The exhaust system must be inspected and cleaned per the
manufacturer’s and or local code official’s recommendations�
Wood Stone recommends cleaning and inspection at least
monthly on any ventilation system serving solid fuel equipment.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS WHEN BURNING SOLID FUEL
Solid fuel exhaust contains creosote and other substances that accumulate in ducting, creating a risk of fire� The rate of
accumulation will vary with respect to flue gas temperature, wood type and moisture content� Frequent, regularly scheduled,
thorough flue cleaning is the best way to minimize the risk of flue fires�
CREOSOTE - AND THE NEED FOR ITS REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote�
The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool oven flue of a slow-burning fire� As a result, creosote residue accumulates in
the duct� When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire� The duct serving this oven should be inspected at least twice a
month during the first two months of operation, to establish rate of creosote buildup and necessary cleaning schedule� If creosote
or soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a flue fire� The interior floor and dome of the oven do not
require creosote or soot removal� The oven flue and exhaust system will require inspection and cleaning�
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned per the manufacturer’s and or local code official’s recommendations�

DISPOSE OF ASH PER THE FOLLOWING:
1.
Place ashes into a metal container with a tight fitting lid�
2.
Place the closed container of ashes on a non-combustible floor or
on the ground�
3.
Place the closed container of ashes well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal�
4.
Retain the ashes in the closed container until all the cinders have
thoroughly cooled� Ashes can then be disposed of safely�
Wood Stone’s stainless steel
Particle Shovel and Double
Compartment Ash Dolly offer
a safe and convenient way to
dispose of ash. Specification
