LIGHTING YOUR FIRST FIRE
Do not be alarmed if your fire does not perform well or even goes out during your first fire. It can take several fires to fully
cure the ceramic cylinder before full performance can be achieved. You may notice a small amount of moisture appear
under your fire on the hearth, this is completely normal.
Allow adequate ventilation when you light your fire for the first time as smoke and odour are released as the special heat-
resistant paint cures. This will not last long and should not happen again.
HOW TO LIGHT YOUR FIRST FIRE
1.
Soak the re-usable fire starters in methylated spirits.
2.
Slide the turboslide to the far right or far left position.
3.
Place DRY kindling and a few small logs lengthways in the front of the fire chamber, leaving a clear space in front of
the air inlet hole.
4.
Place a soaked fire starter just under the kindling at the front of the fire chamber and light it. Close the door.
5.
Once the fire is well established and you have a nice bed of hot embers, move the turboslide to the central position
to cover the air inlet hole.
6.
When opening the door to load more wood, slide the turboslide to the far left or right open position and continue
from Step 5.
A video of how to light and maintain a fire in a Pyroclassic IV can be found on our website –
Please note: The fire starter can be retrieved from the fire once it has stopped burning. Use metal tongs and place the fire
starter on a non-combustible surface, i.e. a block of stone, concrete or tile. When it is cold it can be stored in a jar of
methylated spirits, ready for your next fire.
