Lighting the fire (continued)
Lighting the fire
– Place a few logs with a maximum
diameter of 10 cm in the floor
(bottom) of the stove [photo 3].
Then lay a second layer of small,
bark-free logs perpendicular to the
bottom layer [photo 4].
– Cover with kindling (approximately
1 kg) [photo 5].
– Place an eco-friendly firelighter in
the kindling [photo 6].
– Open the air damper fully [photo 7].
– Light.
– Leave the solid door ajar [photo 8].
This small opening will draw air in
directly, by-passing the normal route
(damper) and preventing the intake
of too much air to be heated in one
go, as is the case when the stove is
completely open.
– When the logs are blazing, load the
stove as normal. Close the door. Set
the damper to blazing-fire mode
(damper to the right). After three-
quarters to one hour, select the burn
rate desired using the air intake
damper.
Note
– In certain atmospheric conditions
(if the temperature outside is higher
than inside), the operation of the
flue can be hindered.
Therefore use more paper and
kindling wood to heat up the flue
and to re-establish the draught.
– Combustion is not optimal below a
certain rate, the waste is greater, the
glass door gets dirty quickly and in
some cases there is a risk of the fire
going out.
