2.0 Operation
2.1 Before you start firing
For Use with Solid Wood Fuel Only. Do Not Overfire, If Heater or Chimney Connector
Glows You Are Overfiring. Inspect and Clean Chimney Frequently. Under Certain
Conditions of use creosote buildup may occur rapidly. Because of risk of smoke and
flame spillage, operate only with door fully closed.
Caution:
Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause
skin burns.
Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire.
Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids.
Do not use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter or fluid or
similar liquids to start or freshen up a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids away from
the heater while it is in use.
Choosing your fuel
All types of natural wood can be burned on your stove, but they must be well-seasoned and dry.
Once the wood is cut to length, it should be split down middle - to suit the dimensions given
below - to allow moisture to evaporate.
Cut the wood to a length of max 8 inches (45 cm) and approx. 3 to 3.5 inches (7-8 cm) in
section. If you can weigh your wood, aim for around lbs. For correct combustion and heat
output, wood fuel should contain no more than 0% moisture; this can easily be checked by
using the Morsø Moisture Meter (part # 699900)
To naturally season wood fuel, stack and store it under cover in an airy location where fresh air
can move through each piece. Some soft woods may take as little as one good summer to season
whereas harder woods such as oak, maple, and elm may require seasoning up to 8 months.
Avoid overly dry wood that is gray in color as under certain conditions it can cause performance
problems, such as back-puffing and sluggishness. Well seasoned wood will be light to hold and
will show signs of cracking from the center-out in the ends. If your wood spits or sizzles when
burnt, and your stove’s door glass persistently mists up, your wood is not properly seasoned.
Never use drift wood (from the sea), whose salt content may cause corrosion, nor construction
wood that may have been impregnated with chemicals.
Starting the first fire
The initial fire should be small, so that the stove paint can cure and the main plates of
the stove can settle into position. Some fumes will be given off by the paint. Ventilate the
room during this phase.
The setting of the valve, lighting techniques and loading intervals will depend on chimney
draft, the fuel used, the heat required and so on. Some basic techniques are outlined
below.
