Good draft & clean flue = efficient wood burning,
clear flue ways, minimal soot and no tar deposits.

CLEANING THE FLUE WAYS - Every 3 months
Always carry out cleaning procedures when the cooker is out and has been allowed to cool sufficiently to
avoid burns. With time and experience you will be able to gauge the intervals between flue way cleaning
more accurately. It will vary depending on the quality of your firewood and performance of your flue.
Take time to get to know your cooker and inspect it at regular intervals for the first 6 months. We
recommend that a flue brush of the type shown below (Fig 5) is used to clean the flue ways. Its flexible
wire handle is ideal for pushing the brush head round bends and into narrow spaces.
HOT PLATE AND PRIMARY FLUE WAY
Remove the hotplate securing screws and use the hotplate lifting tools (Fig 4) that came with your
cooker to remove the hotplate and if required give the surfaces under the hotplate and above the
firebox and top oven a light scrub with a wire brush and vacuum out any debris.
