Although the energy content of dry wood per kilogram is almost the same regardless of species, some burn
dierently because of dierences in density e.g pine is less dense than woods like gums, Manuka or Black
Wattle. A denser wood will produce a longer-lasting coal bed, while a less dense wood will bring a re to an
optimum burning temperature more quickly.
The size of the rewood pieces aects the rate of combustion. Larger pieces ignite and release their
energy more slowly than small pieces. Smaller pieces are better for short, hot res and larger pieces are
preferable for extended ring cycles. In general, commercial rewood dealers supply rewood in thicker
pieces than modern wood-burning heaters can handle. It is often necessary to split some of the wood
again before using it. The thickest piece size for high-eciency heaters should not exceed about 150mm
(6 in.) across the largest dimension and a range of smaller pieces will be needed for eective stoking.
Maximum log length varies according to model.
BURNING COAL
Due to their construction, the burning of coal in Jayline solid fuel heaters is prohibited. Please also refer
to ‘Exclusions’ in the Warranty Page 14.
JAYLINE WOOD FIRE MAINTENANCE
To keep your re burning clean and ecient it is important that you carry out regular maintenance.
General maintenance checks should include the following:-
ASH DRAWER TECHNIQUE
If your re is equipped with the ash drawer feature, this makes cleaning your re quick and simple. Once
the re is cold; use your re poker tool to lift the plug out from the base of the rebox. Sweep the ash
remnants down the hole and into the ashbox below. Attempt to retain an ash bed of 30-40mm in your
rebox (this retains heat, prolongs the life of your rebox, and assists in getting your re up to operating
temperature faster). After lifting the ashbox out of the drawer, close the top cover on the ashbox to
avoid spillage while emptying the ashes.
Once you’ve cleaned your ashbox, ensure the sliding rails of the drawer are free of debris. Replace the
ashbox into the drawer, making sure the lid is in the open position and the ashbox is pushed toward
the rear of the drawer. Close the drawer, clean, then re-t the plug into the base of the rebox. It is
important that the plug does not leak any air after re-tting. Always keep the ashbox and drawer
correctly in place while operating your wood re.
ASH REMOVAL - Due to the high eciency of your Jayline re, ash removal should only be necessary
every few weeks. Ashes can be removed easily through the re door when the re is at its lowest, such as
rst thing in the morning, or when it is completely out. Always use a metal container to remove ash from
your re as ash can maintain high temperatures for several days. Jayline res work best when a small
amount of ash (approximately 40mm deep) is left in the rebox after cleaning. This insulates the bottom
and prevents the base of the rebox overheating and burning out. In fact, building up the ash bed helps
extend the long burn cycle, while reducing the ash bed encourages greater heat output.
