We would strongly recommend that you do not leave your stove alit at night. It
harms the environment, and constitutes very poor use of the wood, as the gases
in the wood do not ignite at the low temperature, but settle as soot (unburned
gases) in the chimney and stove. Extreme conditions, such as poor draught in the
chimney, large quantities of wood or wet wood, may, in the worst-case scenario,
cause an explosive ignition.
When ring in the summer period, when there is minimal need for heat, the com-
bustion will be poor. The stove provides too much heat, so the combustion should
be reduced. But always remember to make sure that there are lasting ames until
the wood becomes charcoal. If you want a weaker re, stoke up using less wood.
If you re the stove using wet wood, a lot of the fuel’s thermal energy will be
spent forcing the water out of the wood, without releasing any heat to the stove.
This incomplete combustion results in a layer of soot being left in the stove, pipe
and chimney.
The stove door must be opened gently the rst 2 - 3 centimetres, then you should wait
until the pressure has equalised before opening the door all the way. This technique will
prevent smoke from getting out, particularly when there is a poor draught.
The stove door should never be opened when the stove is being red vigorously.
Once the wood has burned out, it becomes glowing charcoal. If a good layer of embers has
already formed on top of a sucient layer of ash, the stove can keep warm for a very long
time, not least due to the favourable qualities of the cast iron.
