Harder, more dense logs or wood will generally burn more slowly. Timber should ideally be loaded in
wigwam fashion or flat across the width of the stoves fire box to ensure the end grain does not release
volatiles towards the glass door and hence blacken it quickly.
Under no circumstances must the Ecco stove be used as an incinerator to burn household or industrial
waste of any description – only untreated 25% or less humidity wood must be used.
Liquid fuels must not be burned on this appliance.
17. RE-FUELLING (for smoke control areas)
Only re-fuel when the wood charge has burned down to a red glow (charcoal embers).
When the Ecco Stove has been on a minimum of 2-3 hours burning and the fuel has turned to charcoal,
re-fuelling should either be carried out with two or three split logs at each time, to ensure proper and
complete combustion, and produce minimum smoke. (Fuel loaded to be maximum 150mm diameter
and 300mm maximum length).
Ideally re-fuel on a bright fire. If the fire has burned down to sparse embers the stove may be re-fuelled
with two or three logs or a full fire box upon which the ash pit drawer should be drawn out 5 – 10mm
and the stove fired for 5 – 10 minutes to create initial combustion, then closed to allow clean air
controls (tertiary and air wash) to take over. (Follow initial lighting procedures).
Smoke may escape the door if re-fuelling is carried out on a bright or lively fire. Open the door to the
fire box slowly when re-fuelling to minimise smoke spillage into the room as the door will create a
vacuum drawing the smoke out of the fire box unless the flue ways are below 150˚C. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES MUST THE STOVE BE OPERATED WITH THE DOOR OR AIR CONROLS LEFT OPEN OTHER
THAN AS INSTRUCTED IN THIS MANUAL APART FOR REFUELLING OTHERWISE EXCESSIVE SMOKE WILL BE
PRODUCED.
ONLY RE-FUEL WHEN THE WOOD CHARGE HAS BURNED DOWN TO A RED GLOW (CHARCOAL EMBERS).
18. TAR DEPOSITS
Tar deposits will not form in the stove or on its flue ways if adequately seasoned logs (below 25%
moisture content are used) and the stove generally burned between 150˚C and 200˚C with a bright fire.
If tar deposits form in either the fire box or the flue way, the fuel being burned is not adequately
seasoned and damage will occur within the stove along with poor performance.
