• Before you open the door, place the Air Control
Lever in the full open position.
• Always wait a few seconds before opening the door.
This allows the renewed air circulation to clear
unburned gases from the firebox. Hold the door
open just slightly for a couple of seconds before
opening it fully. This will also help ensure that no
smoke escapes into the room.
• Use a stove tool or poker to distribute the hot
embers equally around the firebox and push ashes
into the ash pan.
• Load the fuel, usually with smaller logs first.
• Close the door and secure the latch, the wood will
start to burn after a few minutes.
Emptying ashes
Having some of the ashes always in the stove is
beneficial for the firing. The ashes isolate to the cold
bottom, leading quicker to high temperatures in the
burn chamber, and give some space for air to get
under and at the sides of the wood, thus improving the
combustion.
After a number of firings it will be necessary to remove
part of the ashes. Opening the door and simply using
a suitable tool to dig out ashes can do this. This should
not be done before the stove is completely cooled
down! Wait at least 12 hours after the last firing before
doing so. The ashes should be put in a bucket of
incombustible material, such as an iron bucket.
After firing with wood, a relatively small amount of ash
occurs. This ash bed is a good insulator and provides
better combustion. Therefore, leave a thin ash layer on
the bottom of the oven.
Regularly remove the excess ash.
Use an ash spade and fill the ash in a suitable ashtray
which is then emptied at a fire-proof location, it is
recommended that ash discharge be done at least 12
hours after firing is finished.
Only use a container of noncombustible material, like
iron, to put the ashes into. Put a lock on the container
until all ashes, coals and cinders, are thoroughly
cooled.
Exterior cleaning
The stone can be washed easily with ordinary
household detergent. Stains of soot and soot water are
removed by brushing lightly with fine sandpaper (180).
Creosote Formation and the Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and
other vapors that combine with moisture to form
creosote. Creosote vapors condense in the relatively
cool chimney flue, and creosote residue accumulates
on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote fuels an
extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and chimney flue should be
inspected at least every two months during the heating
season to determine if creosote buildup has occurred.
If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed
to reduce the chance of a chimney fire. A qualified
chimney sweep or other authorized service person can
provide this service.
It is also important to remember that chimney size,
temperature and height all affect draft which in
turn affects the formation of creosote. An exterior
chimney, whether masonry or prefabricated steel,
will be exposed to cold outside temperatures,
and consequently, will be more prone to creosote
accumulation than an interior flue.
Creosote may also form inside the stove, at the top in
the highest section. This happens since the flue gas
temperature can be quite low, leading to condensation
and the formation of some creosote on the inside
of the stove at the stone surfaces. Creosote has an
insulating effect, so it’s important that the stove interior
be cleaned annually.
