4.3. Lighting a fire

In order to create sufficient draught and to

prevent smoke from being emitted into the

room, the chimney should be warm

enough before lighting a fire. A cold chim-

ney can be heated up by lighting a ball of

paper above the fire plate or at the back of

the bunker.

To kindle the fire in the stove you can use

paper and/or firelighters and small pieces

of wood.

Slightly open the door and turn the air

slides wide open.

It is important that the kindled fire should

burn intensely. You can then throw larger

pieces of wood onto the fire, and close the

door. When the fire has eventually stabi-

lized and is glowing enough, you can put

the logs or the brown coal briquettes or

the coals on the fire.

4.4. Burning wood

The best management of the hearth can be

obtained by shutting off the primary air-

flow (1) completely (= thermostat) and by

fully regulating the air intake with secon-

dary airflow (2). If this management proves

to be insufficient, or in order to fan the

fire, one can temporarily open the primary

airflow for extra air intake.

Make sure that the furnace door is always

shut adequately.

Never stoke with an open door.

Add fuel timely. Do not add too much fuel

at once. It is best to fill the hearth to maxi-

mally one third and to add regularly.

Always open the filling door slowly and

always open it for the shortest time possible. Before adding, make sure that the

charcoal base is distributed equally over the stoking surface. If needed, open the

primary air valve for a little while.

If the wood is piled up loosely, it will burn very quickly because the oxygen will

reach every piece of wood easily. This piling is used when one wants to stoke in a

short time. When the wood is piled more compactly, it will burn slower as the air can

only reach particular pieces of wood. It is best to use this piling method if one wants

to stoke for a longer period of time

Low intensity fires cause tar and creosote to deposit in the chimney after a long pe-

riod of time. Tar and creosote are highly combustible substances. Thicker layers of

these substances might catch fire when the temperature in the chimney increases
