Burning Wood
Once you have kindled your stove (see previous page) and your chimney (flue) is
sufficiently heated and a large base of burning embers is present, you are ready to start
adding you logs.
Stage 4
Place 1-3 small logs onto the bed of hot embers using the gloves provided, close the door
but leave the Secondary Air Control in the fully open/maximum position. Allow the logs
time to fully ignite and turn black.
Stage 5
Once the smaller logs have burned down you can now add 3-5 larger ( or full size) logs.
Leae the controls fully open until the new fuel turns completeley black. You can now close
down the Secondary Air Intake as required. You can now control the burn rate of the stove
using the secondary air intake and thermostat. You are looking for a controlled flame (not
smouldering in the embers or licking around the lid) this is mostly visual although a flue
pipe thermometer will help you determine the amount of air required and is recommended
for the initial lightings.
Stage 6
Refuel as and when required. It is important to open the controls fully prior to any
refuelling.Take care to open the door gradually as flames may lick out and always use the
gloves. Try to avoid closing the Secondary air control fully (as this will cause the stove to
fill up with smoke) If you no longer want to keep the fire going simply allow it burn out.
It is important not to over load the firebox with large amounts of wood. The
eVolution 26 has been certified and tested under the strictest CE conditions and will
produce the nominal outputs by using 5.69Kg of wood per hour.
Below you will find 5.69Kg of wood pictured along with the ideal positioning of the
wood when refueling.
