5. Refuelling of your stove should be done while there are
still glowing embers in the bed. Spread the embers across
the bottom, but concentrated mostly towards the front of
the stove.
6. Place three pieces of fuel weighing roughly 0.6 kg and
measuring about 25 cm in length across the coals in one
layer, with spacing of roughly 1 cm between the pieces of
wood.
7. When the secondary air supply (top vent) is opened all
the way and the door is closed, the new fuel will ignite in a
few minutes.
8. Once the new fuel has taken, adjust the secondary air
amount to the desired setting; optimal combustion will
continue until glowing charcoals are produced.
Under normal chimney draft conditions, expect to refuel
your stove every 60 - 70 minutes.
Make sure that there is always enough air (oxygen) to maintain clear, la-
sting ames when, and aer, reducing the amount of combustion air.
9. A new charge of wood can be added by repeating steps
5 & 6.
Important!
It is important that the fresh quantity of wood starts to
burn quickly. To ensure the fuel lights quickly, open the com-
bustion air to max. or leave the door ajar to allow in the amount
of air needed to light the wood.
If, however, the wood only smoulders, there will be a strong
build-up of smoke, which at worst can cause an explosive ig-
nition of the ue gases with the risk of material damage and
personal injury.
