Tips for Successful Wood-Burning:
Use good quality seasoned-dry logs.
We recommend investing £10 to £20 in a digital
moisture meter - Split some logs and insert the
probe deep into the centre of the log.
Do not burn anything more than 20% moisture
content when measured in the centre of the log as
this will have detrimental effects on heat output,
ease of use, and will create excess tar, creosote
and moisture which will prematurely damage your
stove and ue system and could cause chimney
res.
Never burn treated, painted, dirty wood, pallet
wood or manufactured boards.
Get the ue and belly of the re nice and hot
using a good quantity of dry kindling.
Do not overload the stove with wood - best
to load ‘little and often’, once the stove is up to
temperature.
Use the ‘BOOST’ air vent control position for a
few minutes when reloading the re with new logs
or in the event of a slow or weak chimney draught,
only until the stove and chimney have warmed up
sufciently.
Use solid chemical relighters to begin the re,
they will help establish the kindling re well. Using
screwed up newspaper to light the re will only
make your life more difcult!
