  If you're having trouble keeping your Clarke Stove fire lit, several factors could be at play. The wood might be too green, damp, or of poor quality, so it's best to use the recommended fuel. If the logs are too large, use small, dry kindling to start and split logs to maintain the fire. Ensure proper airflow by opening the upper and lower air controls. Finally, check for any obstructions in the flue and sweep it if necessary to ensure sufficient draught.

  If your Clarke Stove is smoking when you light it, it could be due to a cold flue duct. Try burning paper and kindling wood to increase the heat. Another reason might be that the room has negative air pressure compared to the outside. If your house has mechanical ventilation, open a window until the fire is well established.

  If your Clarke Stove spills smoke when you open the door, several factors could be the cause. The chimney may not be tall enough to clear the roof line, consider increasing its height. Poor sealing of the flue-pipe joints can also be a culprit; re-connect the flue or replace the jointing material. A flue partially blocked with soot needs sweeping. Lastly, if the house is too tightly sealed, ensure a fresh air supply is reaching the stove.

  If your Clarke Stove fire is burning too quickly, it might be due to too much draught. Make sure the lower air control is closed and partially close the top air control. Excessive draw can also cause this, consider installing a draught stabiliser. Avoid using poor quality wood such as small wood, sticks, carpentry offcuts, or plywood.

  If your Clarke Stove is smoking while burning, it could be due to insufficient draught. Check that the flue is not obstructed and sweep if necessary. Downdraught can also cause smoking; consider installing an anti-downdraught cowl. If the room is at negative pressure to the outside and equipped with mechanical ventilation, an outside air intake must be installed in the chimney.
