this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the

heater while it is in use.

3.9. WOOD

Logs of correct size for the stove allow for better

stacking, filling and operation of your stove (see table

below). Use dry wood which, by definition, is wood

which has been dried under cover for more than 18

months so that the logs contain less than 20%

moisture.

Heating the air in a closed building decreases the

relative humidity of the air, which will dry wood and

other combustible materials. This drying lowers the

ignition temperature of these material, thus increasing

the fire hazard. To reduce the risk of fire, some

provision should be made for replenishing moisture to

the air whenever a structure is being heated for

extended periods.

Use dry wood

Some types of wood are easier to light than others. The

best fire wood, and easiest to light, is always dry wood.

Using dry wood will minimise creosote build-up. Damp

wood has far less heating power. This lowers the

combustion temperature of the fire, and therefore the

output. It is difficult to light, burns badly and gives off

smoke. Above all, the use of damp wood causes the

formation of deposits (tarring and soot staining) in the

chimney flue and on the glass door.

Flue gas temperature

The most important aspect of stove operation is

maintaining a high combustion temperature. If the

combustion of the fuel is at the correct temperature,

most of the soot and tars (hydrocarbons) are burned.

These hydrocarbons, when not burned, can be seen as

tar and creosote deposits on the internal surfaces of

the stove, glass and chimney surfaces.

Running your stove at maximum for prolonged periods

will chill the stove as the airs passage through the

combustion chamber will be too fast to heat up and

maintain the temperature within the stove. The

operator will soon become acquainted with the

optimum settinng for the maximum heat production

from their stove without the use of any surface or flue

thermometer.

High combustion temperatures are the secret to clean

glass operation. When loading wood, add one or two

logs at a time, depending on size. Loading the appliance

full of damp wood on a low fire is certain to cause poor

combustion efficiency, resulting in tar and dirty glass.

It is recommended that you heat your stove to at least

205°C (400°F) before reducing the air controls. This

procedure should always be carried out after

reloading. A simple guide to this is when the new

charge of fuel is burning vigorously.

Storage time for wood

Wood supplied in ready-cut lengths stored

immediately under a ventilated shelter dries quicker

than wood stocked in high piles. Quarters (split wood)

dry quicker than round logs. Wood which is too small

to split must be drained, by removing some of the bark.

Round logs left in the open for more than a year end

up rotten. The drying time for the fire wood should be

at least 18 months to 2 years. This period can be

shortened (12 to 15 months) if the wood is cut to the

right length and immediately stored under a ventilated

shelter.

4. SAFETY

Notify the elderly, as well as children of the high

surface temperature of the stove in order to avoid

burns. Supervise children when they are in the room

where the stove is placed and use a suitable fire guard

for it. It is essential that the controls of the stove, as

well as the chimney pipes are always clean and in good

condition. The stove must be checked before use, as

well as the chimney cleaned at least once a year. You

should do this operation more often if the stove does

not turn on regularly, the installation is poor or low

quality fuel is used.

ATENTION: The stove is very hot during operation. Do

not touch the surface. Furniture and other

combustible materials must keep the necessary safety

distance (Fig. 22).
