WOOD BURNING
LIGHTING & CONTROLLING THE FIRE
For wood burning it is best to set the riddle grate to the closed position, see fig. 7.
Before lighting the fire for the first time ensure that the baffle, side and back bricks and
all the internal components are in position. Burning without either will result in the
stove overheating and being damaged. Open the air wash control and the primary air
control fully. Place some tightly rolled paper on top of some crumpled paper on the base
towards the back of the stove. On top of this, place some small pieces of wood. Light the
crumpled paper and close the door. Once the fire becomes established add some larger
pieces of wood. As the stove comes up to temperature close the primary air control
using the stove mitt. The burning rate of the stove can now be regulated by the rate at
which fuel is added and by adjusting the air wash control.
With the above in mind it is plain to see that the stove should ideally be run with the
primary air inlet closed and the air wash control open whenever possible. Another
advantage of running the stove with the air wash open is that the air that is being drawn
into the stove travels across the glass forming an air barrier between the glass and the
fire bed helping to prevent smoke particles sticking to the glass.
If the fire dies down too low, opening the primary air control for a short period will
revive it. When reviving a low fire it is important to also use kindling before adding
larger logs to help prevent smoke.
