Why does my Heta Stove burn poorly and the glass soots up?

  Stephen WalkerSep 12, 2025
  Poor burning in your Heta Stove, coupled with sooty glass, can stem from several causes: inadequate chimney draft, which requires improvement; insufficient air supply, correctable by following operating instructions; damp wood, which necessitates using firewood dried for at least a year after splitting; firewood pieces that are too large, which means you should use smaller pieces; or insufficient air supply to the room due to range hoods or airtight windows. To solve the last one, open windows or clean the outdoor air connection, depending on the cause.

  If your Heta Stove is experiencing too rapid combustion, it could be due to too much chimney draft. In this case, measure the chimney draft and install a damper in the flue pipe if necessary. Another potential cause is a defective door or ash pan/drawer seal, which would require replacing the seal.

  If your Heta Stove burns poorly after warming up and the glass slowly soots up, this could be caused by soot in the flue pipe. To resolve this, clean the flue pipe regularly, limit the use of horizontal flue pipes, and avoid using firewood that generates large quantities of ash.

  Condensation in the combustion chamber of your Heta Stove can be due to moisture in the vermiculite, which will evaporate after the stove has been lit a few times, or damp wood, in which case you should use dry firewood.
