Achieving Clean Burns

Check the exhaust in about 15 to 20 minutes 

(see below). Large amounts of smoke indicate 

an improper burn setting (either too high or too 

low). Adjust and recheck in 5 to 10 minutes.

FUEL

What does “Well-Seasoned” mean?

When a tree is cut down, the wood is green, 

full of sap and moisture. This moisture content 

can exceed 80%, which must be reduced to 

less than 20%. Wood properly seasoned is 

then capable of generating the heat the stove 

was designed to provide.
Green wood does not burn easily.  Attempting to 

burn green wood often results in a lot of smoke 

and very little fire. Time is the most important 

factor in seasoning wood.  Ideally the moisture 

content should be reduced to 11-20%.  

NOTE: 

The use of a firewood moisture meter is rec-

ommended to ensure the firewood contains 

less than 20% moisture.

Seasoning Guide

Softwoods  -  6 months to 18 months

Hardwoods  -  12 months to 24 months
Logs that are 5” diameter across or larger should 

be split in half, three pieces if over 8 inches, and 

four pieces when over a foot across.  If a tree 

has been dead for 2  -  4 years it still needs to 

be cut, split, and seasoned for 6 to 24 months 

depending on the wood.

Dealing With a Chimney Fire

Regular chimney maintenance and inspection 

can prevent chimney fires.  If you have a chimney 

fire, follow these steps:

1.  Close the fireplace door and the combustion 

air controls.

2. Alert your family of the possible danger.

3. If you require assistance, alert your fire 

department.

4. If possible, use a dry chemical fire extin-

guisher, baking soda or sand to control the 

fire.  Do not use water as it may cause a 

dangerous steam explosion.

5.  Check outside to ensure that sparks and hot 

embers coming out of the chimney are not 

igniting the roof.

6. Do not use the fireplace again until your 

chimney and fireplace have been inspected 

by a qualified chimney sweep or a Fire 

Department Inspector.

Chimney Maintenance

Regular chimney inspection and maintenance 

combined with proper operation will prevent 

chimney fires. Keep your chimney clean.  Do not 

allow more than 1/16” (1.6 mm) creosote build 

up in your chimney.  The amount of creosote 

will depend on variables such as frequency of 

use and type of fire.  We recommend that you:

A.  Initially inspect the chimney system weekly.  

From this, you will learn how often it will be 

necessary to clean your chimney.

B. Have your chimney cleaned by a qualified 

chimney sweep.  If you wish to clean it 

yourself, we recommend using a stiff plastic 

or non-metallic brush.  If a metal brush is 

used, its size should be slightly smaller than 

the flue to avoid damaging the chimney.  Do 

not use a brush that will scratch the stainless 

steel interior of the chimney.

C. Do not expect chemical cleaners to keep 

your chimney clean.  The rain cap can be 

removed for inspection and/or cleaning of 

the chimney.

     WARNING

Disposal of Ashes:  Ashes should 

be placed in a metal container 

with a tight-fitting lid. The closed 

container of ashes should be 

placed on a noncombustible floor 

or on the ground, well away from 

all combustible materials, pend-

ing final disposal. If the ashes are 

disposed of by burial in soil or 

otherwise locally dispersed, they 

should be retained in the closed 

container until all cinders have 

thoroughly cooled.

     WARNING

When processed solid fuel fire-

logs are used:  Do not poke or stir 

the logs while they are burning. 

Use only firelogs that have been 

evaluated for the application 

in fireplace and refer to firelog 

warnings and caution markings 

on packaging prior to use.
