The Difference Between Short and Long Combustion Times
Short combustion time
You create powerful warmth quickly by burning many smaller pieces of firewood.
Long Burning Time
You create a longer combustion time by burning fewer and larger pieces of wood. You achieve the best
possible combustion by regulating with the air damper. A bit of air must, however, be added from the
pane-flush in order to achieve better combustion.
Achieving the Best Possible Combustion
Use dry, clean wood.
Wet wood results in poor combustion, excess smoke and soot. In addition, more warmth will be used to
dry the wood instead of heating the room.
Fire a Bit at a Time
You achieve the best possible combustion by firing often and a bit at a time. If you add too much firewood
at once, too much time will pass before the temperature becomes high enough for you to achieve good
combustion.
Make Sure There is the Right Amount of Air in the Combustion Chamber
You should also make sure that there is an ample amount of air - especially in the beginning - so that the
temperature inside the wood-burning stove quickly rises. Gases and particles released during burning
are then more easily burned off. Otherwise, they gather as soot in the chimney (which increases the risk
of chimney fire) or are emitted unburned into the atmosphere. The wrong amount of air supply creates
inefficient combustion and modest effect.
Don’t savour the fire during night time
We advise against adding fire wood to your stove and reducing the air supply at night in an attempt to still
have some embers left in the morning. If you do so, large amounts of hazardous smoke will be emitted,
and your chimney will be exposed to unnecessarily large amounts of soot with the risk of a chimney fire.
Lighting and Firing your WIKING Wood-Burning Stove
The First Firing
The first time you fire your wood-burning stove, you must do so carefully, as all materials need to adjust
to the heat. This means that the stove must be heated slowly, until it reaches its maximum heat level.
Afterwards, you should fire a few times so that the stove is thoroughly heated throughout.
