5.7.5 Logs Orientation
In a relatively square firebox, the wood can be loaded north-south (ends of the logs visible) or
east-west (sides of the logs visible).
North-south loads allow more wood to be loaded at the same time. On the other hand, they
break into smaller pieces faster. North-south loading is good for high output, long lasting fires
for cold weather.
East-west loads allow a limited amount of wood since too many logs could cause them to fall
on the glass. East-west loads, placed in a compact way, take a long time before breaking down.
They are excellent for low-intensity, long-lasting fires in relatively mild weather.
5.7.6 Carbon Monoxide
When unburned logs remain in the firebox and the flame disappears, go outside and look at the
chimney exit. If there is visible smoke, it means that there is still combustible to burn but that the fire
lacks air to burn properly. In this situation, the CO rate will increase so it is important to react. Open
the door slightly and move the log with a poker. Turn it over and create a passage for the air below,
making a trench with the coal bed. Add small pieces of wood to restart the combustion.
6. Maintenance
This heater will give many years of reliable service if used and maintained properly. Internal
components of the firebox such as refractory panels, baffle and air tubes will wear over time.
Defective parts should always be replaced with original parts.
To avoid premature deterioration, follow the lighting and reloading procedures in section «5.
Burning Wood Efficiently» and also avoid letting the heater run with the air intake fully open for
entire burn cycles.
6.1 Cleaning and Painting
Painted and plated surfaces can be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth. If the paint is scratched
or damaged, it is possible to repaint the heater with a heat-resistant paint. Do not clean or
paint the appliance when it is hot. Before painting, the surface should be sanded lightly with
sandpaper and then wiped off to remove dust. Apply two thin layers of paint.
