Pyroclassic Fires Operating Instructions | Updated May 2019 | V4 | 4
DIGITAL MOISTURE METER
The moisture meter is intended to be used regularly throughout the drying process, from
when your wood fuel is delivered, right through to just before burning it. It measures the
moisture content (%) in wood and is an essential tool as a fire owner. You MUST burn dry
wood for your Pyroclassic fire to operate effectively. Poor quality, wet wood is the most
common cause of issues with all wood fires and flue systems.

FIREWOOD
Any wood burner that is not operating correctly creates high emissions and will not heat your home properly. Simple
methods to ensure clean burning and efficient heating are:
Stock up on your wood fuel at least 6-12 months before winter to allow the wood to air dry. Stack wood loosely in a
dry place so air can pass freely through the pile.
Burn dry, well-seasoned wood. Check your wood with the moisture meter supplied as longer drying times may be
necessary.
The ideal size of wood for a Pyroclassic IV is from 25mm-100mm (1” - 4”) in diameter, cut into lengths of around
300mm (12”). Shorter pieces are less convenient and less efficient to use. Let your wood merchant know what you
want for your money.
Do not burn wet or green wood, plastic, domestic refuse, painted or chemically treated wood, plywood, driftwood,
particle board or coal in your Pyroclassic® as they will damage your fire and cause higher emissions of unburnt
particles harmful to our environment.
Burn small, hot fires near the back of the fire chamber.
CAUTION:
THE USE OF SOME TYPES OF PRESERVATIVE-TREATED WOOD AS FUEL CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
