1. A layer of embers will form rapidly if the stove is lit
with 2 - 4 fire lighters or 7 - 10 rolled up sheets of
newspaper, underneath roughly 1-2 kg of dry kind-
ling.
2. Fully open the upper air controle.
3. After the paper/fire lighters have caught fire, leave
the fire door ajar about 2-3 cm, so that the chimney
draws well.
The ash door on 2B classic must remain closed du-
ring normal use.
4. After 5-10 minutes the chimney draft should be es-
tablished, at this point close the fire door. If all the
necessary conditions are met, a nice layer of em-
bers will start to accumulate after another 15 - 20
minutes.
2.1 Lighting and refuelling intervals
Kindling (dry sticks) requires a large volume of air for quick combustion. When lighting the
stove from cold it will help to keep the main door ajar (2-3 cm) for the first few minutes. The
secondary air supply should be fully open during lighting.
When only burning wood it is recommended that a 1 cm deep ash bed be established and
maintained on the grate of the stove.
