Maintaining Wood Fires 

4.3.1  General Advice 
Wood heating with a space heater is very different than other forms of heating. There will 
be variations in the temperature in different parts of the house and there will be variations 
in  temperature  throughout  the  day  and  night.  This  is  normal,  and  for  experienced  wood 
burners these are advantages of zone heating with wood. 

Do not expect steady heat output from your stove. It is normal for its surface temperature 
to  rise  after a  new  load  of  wood  is  ignited  and for  its  temperature to  gradually  decline  as 
the  fire  progresses.  This  rising  and  falling  of  temperature  can  be  matched  to  your 
household routines. For example, the area temperature can be cooler when you are active, 
such as when doing housework or cooking, and it can be warmer when you are inactive, 
such as when reading or watching television. 

Wood burns best in cycles. A cycle starts when a new load of wood is ignited by hot coals 
and ends when that load has been consumed down to a bed of charcoal about the same 
size as it was when the wood was loaded. Do not attempt to produce a steady heat output 
by  placing  a  single  log  on  the  fire  at  regular  intervals.  Always  place  at  least  three,  and 
preferably more, pieces on the fire at a time so that the heat radiated from one piece helps 
to ignite the pieces next to it. Each load of wood should provide several hours of heating. 
The size of each load can be matched to the amount of heat needed. 

When you burn in cycles, you rarely need to open the stove’s loading door while the wood 
is flaming. This is an advantage because there is more chance that smoke will leak from 
the  stove  when  the  door  is  opened  as  a  full  fire  is  burning.  This  is  especially  true  if  the 
chimney  connector  has  90°  elbows  and  if  the  chimney  runs  up  the  outside  wall  of  the 
house.  

IF  YOU  MUST  OPEN  THE  DOOR  WHILE  THE  FUEL  IS  FLAMING,  OPEN  THE  AIR 
CONTROL  FULLY  FOR  A  FEW  MINUTES,  THEN  UNLATCH  AND  OPEN  THE  DOOR 
SLOWLY. 

4.3.2  Ash Removal 
Ash  should  be  removed  from  the  firebox  every  two  or  three  days  of  full  time  heating.  Do 
not let the ash build up in the firebox because it will interfere with proper fire management.  

The best time to remove ash is after an overnight fire when the stove is relatively cool, but 
there  is  still  some  chimney  draft  to  draw  the  ash  dust  into  the  stove  and  prevent  it  from 
coming into the room. 

After  ashes  have  been  removed  from  the  stove  and  placed  in  a  tightly  covered  metal 
container, they should be taken outside immediately. The closed container of ashes should 
be  placed  on  a  non-combustible  floor  or  on  the  ground  well  away  from  all  combustible 
materials pending final disposal. Ashes normally contain some live charcoal that can stay 
hot  for  several  days.  If  the  ashes  are  disposed  of  by  burial  in  soil  or  otherwise  locally 
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly 
cooled. Other waste shall not be placed in this container. 

NEVER  STORE  ASHES  INDOORS  OR  IN  A  NON-METALIC  CONTAINER  OR  ON  A 
WOODEN DECK.
