Consumables
Some parts of your Woodsman fire are considered consumable. They are de-
signed to be replaced as they will degrade over time. The life of the consum-
ables will vary depending on;
Frequency of use
Rate of burn
Type of fuel
Level of ash
General items that are considered consumables:
Air tubes (see page 11)
Baffles (see page 12)
Fire bricks (see page 14)
Glass and door ropes
It is very important that you replace these parts when they show signs of
wear. They effect how the fire runs and you may increase your fuel consump-
tion or lower your efficiency if not replaced, and can in some cases, damage
the firebox. It is generally obvious once a part is in need of replacement.
Steel components may split or large holes may appear and fire bricks may
disintegrate. Fire bricks that are cracked but still remain in place are com-
pletely safe to use and only need to be replaced when they no longer remain
in place. A cracked fire brick may still last years of use.
We recommend you check your fire visually several times a year for
damaged components.
