Burning Wood
Once you have kindled your stove (see previous page) and your chimney (flue) is
sufficiently heated, you are now ready to start adding your logs.
Stage 4
Place 1-3 small logs onto the bed of hot embers using appropriate heat proof gloves, close
the door completely.
Stage 5
Once the smaller logs have burned down you can now add 1-2 larger (or full size) logs.
When these logs are fully alight (turned black) reduce the air Intake to approximately half
way (in the middle). You will now control the burn rate of the stove using the air control.
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. Take care to open the door gradually as flames may lick out
and always use appropriate gloves. Try to avoid closing the 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.
Warning
Do not stack wood any higher than the log retainer.
