Why is my FRANCO BELGE Stove fire difficult to start and keeps going out?
- JJordan PotterAug 2, 2025
There are several reasons why your FRANCO BELGE Stove fire might be difficult to start or keep burning: * The wood may be too green or damp. Use hardwood logs that have been cut for at least two years and stored under a ventilated shelter. * The logs might be too big. Use small, very dry twigs to light the fire and split logs to maintain it. * The wood quality may be poor. Use hardwood with a higher calorific value, such as yoke-elm, oak, ash, maple, birch, elm, or beech. * There may not be enough primary air. Open the air control. * There might be insufficient draught. Open the flue damper control temporarily. * The flue might be obstructed. Check and sweep it if necessary. * Consider seeking advice from a chimney specialist.
