movement around the sides of the stack to enable it to dry out. Burning wet or
unseasoned wood will create tar deposits in the stove and chimney and will reduce heat
output. Tar deposits, if allowed to build up, are a major cause of chimney fires. This tar
also is the main cause of blackened stove windows. A wood moisture meter is a handy
device to have. Caution
– only empty the ash pan when the stove is cool.
Once established and for the best results from your stove, load only 1.2kg of good quality
dry wood per hour with the primary air control fully closed and the secondary air control
approximately 5mm open. We recommend using 2 logs at approximately 160mm. Longer
logs may be used up to a length of 230mm. Do not overload as this can potentially cause
damage to the stove and chimney system.
Of course, best burning depends on the quality of wood, draft and stove settings, so please
do experiment to find your own best settings and the best position on your Stove
Thermometer but guidance should be sought initially from your installer when the
commissioning takes place.
2.4.6 Other Solid Fuel Burning
Always clean out the ash pan before refuelling and do not let the ash build up to the
underside of the grate bars
– this will severely reduce the life of the grate and prevent
efficient burning. Solid fuel produces ash, which if allowed to build up, will stifle the air
flow through the grate and eventually cause the fire to die.
Caution – only empty the ash
pan when the stove is cool.
With some solid fuels a residue of burnt fuel or clinker will accumulate on the grate, allow
the fire to go out periodically to remove this.
Once established and for the best results, load only 0.5 kg of anthracite or equivalent per
hour with the primary air control about 50-75% open and the secondary air control fully
closed. Do not overload as this can potentially cause damage to the stove and chimney
system.
When loading fuel, ensure that the series of tertiary air holes on the rear chamber brick
are not covered by the fuel.
Of course best burning depends on the type of fuel being burnt, draft and stove settings,
so please do experiment to find your own best settings but guidance should be sought
initially from your installer when the commissioning takes place.
