Why is my FRANCO BELGE Stove fire difficult to start?
- WWesley CastroAug 16, 2025
A fire in a FRANCO BELGE Stove might be difficult to start due to several reasons. It could be that the wood is green or damp; in this case, use hardwood logs that have been cut for at least two years and stored under a ventilated shelter. Another reason might be that the logs are too big; use small, very dry twigs to light the fire and split logs to maintain it. Poor quality wood, insufficient primary air (open air control), or insufficient draught (check that the flue is not obstructed and sweep it if necessary) could also be the cause. If none of these solutions work, seek advice from a chimney specialist.
