Always try to position new logs so that they are in the path of existing flames by bridging the flames where
possible. Do not over fill the stove with wood expecting it to burn for an extended time, it will produce little but
smoke and tar. If the stove is running with a low air volume setting, turning up the volume for a few minutes
whenever you load new logs will encourage them to ignite faster. Do not be afraid to put logs towards the front
of the fire, the glass will stay clean and the visual interest will be increased.
Setting the Burning Rate
Setting the air volume rate should always be done with reference to the condition of the fire. You cannot expect
to turn the air to maximum and the stove increase its heat output if the fire in the stove is ash with a few
glowing embers. Neither should the stove be expected to shut down a huge fire immediately the air supply was
restricted, without producing copious amounts of smoke. Unlike driving a car that accelerates and brakes, wood
burning should be regarded as something that gathers and losses momentum gracefully, and all adjustments to
the burning rate should be made accordingly.
Putting a large quantity of wood into the stove and turning the air setting to low will inevitably result in smoke
as the wood is heated with insufficient air to burn with. Always wait until the wood is producing flames before
turning down the air volume in stages. If the fire has become very lethargic after a long period of slow burning,
or has no flames, set the air controls to their lighting position and place a few pieces of dry kindling onto the fire
bed to ensure rapid ignition.
Always when adding more wood place it in
such a way that air can pass between the logs.
