Esse 105 Stove Instruction

3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
We recommend using wood logs with a moisture content of 15 – 20%. This is best achieved by either
storing green wood yourself for a period of 12 – 18 months, and checking regularly with a moisture
detector, or purchasing it from a reputable fire wood specialist, who is able to control the moisture
content of their wood logs.
For best results, we recommend your wood logs are cut to a length of 200mm, and a diameter /
width of 120mm.
COMBUSTION AIR, AIRWASH & CONVECTION AIR
ESSE stoves are designed to achieve the most efficient heat outputs, with the ‘cleanest burn’. To
achieve this, significant research and development investment has been given to how to provide
appropriate levels of ‘combustion air’ to the correct parts of the fire, at the correct time of the burn
cycle.
Combustion air is drawn into your ESSE stove from two locations, one of which is controllable. It is
important to understand the function of each of the two, and where appropriate, how they are
controlled. Your ESSE stove also incorporates two further air management technologies, which
provide additional benefits.
Controllable
Combustion Air
Controllable Combustion Air enters your ESSE stove from the top of the
appliance, dropping down into the firebox, via the ‘Airwash’ (see below).
The Controllable Combustion Air control incorporates Precision Burn™
technology, to provide a more precise adjustment, to better control the
air supply and burn rate. When moved to the right, there is more air and
a fiercer burn rate, whilst moved to the left, there is less air, and softer
burn rate.
