CORRECT  RUNNING  TEMPERATURES  FOR  BURNING
To  get the  best results  from your stove  it is  recommended  that a wood  stove  thermometer
(available  from your stove  dealer) be  fitted  to  the  flue  pipe  above  the  stove,  at  eye  level
if possible. The  figures  below  show  the  recommended  temperature  of the  flue  gases:

115°C

245°C

The  flue  gases  should  be  in  this  temperature  band  for the  safest, most efficient
and  most economical  operation  of your stove.
Below  115°C
This  is  below  the  condensation  point of wood  gases  and  may cause  the  build-‐up
of tar  in  the  chimney,  dirty the  stove  glass  and  result  in  the  inefficient burning
of the  fuel.
Above  245°C
Too  hot. Heat will  be  wasted  up  the  chimney.  Excess  heat may damage  the  stove
or ignite  any existing  accumulation  of tar resulting  in  a chimney fire.

EXTENDED BURNING
Loading  a large  amount of wood  into  the  stove  all  at once  will  reduce  the  temperature
inside  the  stove. If the  temperature  is  too  low,  the  gases  given  off from the  wood  will  be
too  low  to  combust resulting  in  a  lot of smoke  covering  the  inside  of the  stove,  including
the  glass,  with  soot. To  combat this  problem it is  a good  idea to  increase  the  temperature
of  the  stove  before  loading  by further opening  the  air  inlets. Load  the  wood  and  leave  the
air  controls  open  until  the  moisture  is  driven  out of the  wood  and  the  stove  is  back up  to
an   efficient   operating   temperature.   The   air   inlets   can   then   be   reduced   to   hold   the
temperature   of   the   stove.   Loading   the   stove   little   and   often   will   help   keep   the   stove
temperature  steady.   When  loading  wood,  make  sure  that the  end  grain  of the  wood  in
the  stove  is  pointing  away  from the  glass,  otherwise  the  moisture  and  gases  coming  from
the  end  grain  of the  wood  will  dirty the  glass.

TYPES  OF  WOOD FOR  FUEL
For best results,  use well-‐seasoned  hardwood  such  as  Oak, Ash  or Beech. Allow  wood  to
dry out under cover in  well-‐ventilated  conditions  for at least twelve  months. As  a rough
guide  wood  is  ready for burning  when  radial  cracks  appear in  the  end  of logs. Properly dry
wood  means  it should  have a moisture  content of between  15%-‐20%  which  can  only be
accurately   measured   using   a   moisture   meter.   Burning   wood   that   is   not   seasoned   will
result in  tar  being  deposited  in  the  stove,  on  the  glass  and  in  the  flueways. This  build-‐up
of tar is  a hazard  and  if it ignites  may cause  a chimney fire. Resinous  softwood  burns  well
and  gives  a high  output for short  periods  but is  not as  efficient  and  does  not last as  long
as  hardwood.

RE-‐FUELLING
Adding  a 'little  fuel  often'  is  the  best re-‐fuelling  method  to  keep  smoke  to  a minimum.
Our   tests   have   shown   that   burning   logs   not   longer   than   20cm   and   with   a   width   or
diameter of  no  more  than  12cm will  produce  the  optimum smoke  free  performance.
