The denser the wood, the greater the energy value. Beech, oak and birch, for example, are all very dense. Fresh wood comprises 50% water, some of which circulates freely between the fibres, while the remainder is stored in the cells. Wood should always be allowed to dry so that the freely circulating moisture evaporates. Wood is not suitable for burning until the moisture content has fallen below 20%....

Stoking the fire Important! For effective control of the heat output, it is important to have a thick bed of glowing embers and a high temperature in the fire-box. When the fire has burned down to the embers, it is time to stoke it with more wood. 1. Open the door a fraction and allow the pressure in the fire-box to even out for a few seconds before opening the door fully. 2. Stoke with 2 or 3 logs that together weigh between about 1.5 and 2.5 kg. Lay one log diagonally and a further one or two parallel with the back of the firebox as shown in the illustration below. Then close the door to...

Poor draught in the stove after installation. • Check that the length of the chimney corresponds to the requirements: it should rise 1 metre above the ridge of the roof, and its total length should be at least 3.5 metres • Check that there is no blockage in the chimney that prevents smoke and fumes from escaping, and that there is no house or tree nearby that is affecting the wind around the chimney. • Check the cross-sectional area of the chimney (existing brick chimneys only) which should be 150– 200 cm2. The fire is difficult to light and dies after a short while. • This may be because...
