Once the stove is up to temperature you will see how the fuel gasses off to produce lovely light wispy flames
rolling around the firebox. These flames are very controllable and by building on your experience you will be
able to get the stove to respond to most of your requirements.
De Ashing the stove is important, if the ash is allowed to build up it will touch the grate and stop cooling air
reaching it, this will in turn cause the grate to overheat and become damaged and unserviceable.
This sort of damage will not be allowed as fair wear and tear and will not be covered by the warranty.
Overnight Burning.
There is a skill and knowledge to acquire if you want to get the stove to burn for long periods.
Here are the critical factors
•
What type of fuel to use.
•
How and when to re-fuel.
•
Where to set the air controls.
TIPS.
Maximum length of burn will be achieved using a smokeless fuel on multi fuel stoves and hardwood on wood
burning stoves.
Build the fire up slowly by adding fuel during the evening, try to get the firebox full of red-hot fuel, before
retiring to bed, give the stove a slight riddle and then top it up with a final load of smokeless fuel. Leave the
over fire air and the air wash just cracked.
If you admit too much air it will burn all the fuel away.
If you don’t admit enough air the stove will go out without burning all the fuel and the glass will become dirty.
You will have to experiment to find out the best way to keep the fire in.
Riddling the Stove
To riddle the stove simply insert one end of the tee bar tool into the brass eye at the end of the riddling rod
and pull / push until the ash has been riddled away.
MAINTAINANCE
To keep your stove working well, you must make sure that it is kept in good condition.
As you can see we have linked cleaning with maintenance, if you pay attention to keeping the stove clean and
tidy, maintenance will be much reduced and the stove will work to its maximum potential.
ASH and clinker are the major problems with solid fuel stoves.
To try and minimise them we have designed this stove with a large ash pan and an externally operated riddling
grate allowing you to riddle the stove with the door closed.
In addition to the large ash pan we have also fitted ash pan guides in either side of the ash pit base. These
guides make sure that the ash pan is forced to go where we want it: under the grate.
Day to day attention.
Make sure that the fuel-loading door and ash pit doors close correctly and that there is no ash or dirt trapped
behind them.
Make sure that the base of the ash pit is clean, any dirt or pieces of coke could trap behind the ash pan
stopping it from going fully up to the back of the stove.
This could cause the ash pan to catch the back of the ashpit air inlet valve and hold it open.
