4. After the paper/fire lighters have caught fire,
leave the fire door ajar about 2-3 cm, so that
the chimney draws well.
5. After 5-10 minutes the chimney draft should
be established, at this point close the fire
door. If all the necessary conditions are met,
a nice layer of embers will start to accumulate
after another 15 - 20 minutes.
6. 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.
When refuelling your stove, it is recommended that you open the stove door gently for the first
2 - 3 centimetres, then wait for a few seconds for the pressure in the flue to equalise; you are
now safe to proceed and open it all the way. By using this technique smoke spillage can be
eliminated particularly in poor chimney draft conditions. The stove door should not be opened
when the stove is being fired vigorously.
