e.
Not enough fuel being burned
–
the rated output of your stove is based on burning beech wood (typical of most
hardwoods), refuelling once per hour. 1kg of this wood has approximately 4-5 kw hours of energy.
f. Larger stove / stove with higher output required for room size.
6. Too much heat in room
Common causes:
a.
Excessive chimney draw
–
try fitting a damper unit in flue
b.
Too much air supply
–
close down primary vent, then if still too hot reduce tertiary and secondary vents.
c. Stove may be too large for room size.
7. Grate deformed / Baffle plate deformed
Your stove will have been designed to operate correctly for many years with a relevant quantity of fuel and re-loading
times. The grate and baffle plate can over time start to bow/deform
–
this can only be caused by very high
temperatures. Using Solid Fuel products can accelerate this process but burning wood at too high a temperature can
also cause damage to internal parts.
Common causes:
a.
Excessive chimney draw
–
try a damper in the flue.
b.
Excessive primary air supply
–
close down primary vents.
c.
Incorrect fuel
–
NEVER use Petroleum Coke, Bituminous fuel, House coal or any un authorised fuel.
d.
Stove overloaded
–
excessive burning of too much fuel.
The baffle plate and the inner linings of the stove, and the grate all designed to be replaceable parts
–
