Storage of wood
A moisture content of 12-18% is achieved by storing recently felled wood outdoors under a lean-to
for at least one year, preferably 2 years. Wood stored indoors has a tendency to become too dry and
combust too quickly. However, it might be advantageous to store fuel for lighting a fire indoors for a few
days prior to use.
We recommend that you buy a moisture meter to continuously check that the wood has the correct
moisture content before it is used for firing. Split the wood and measure the moisture content of the
split surfaces.
Recommended dimensions
The dimensions of the fuel are important to good combustion. The dimensions should be as follows:
Fuel type Length in cm Diameter in cm
Wood for kindling a fire (finely chopped) 25 2-5
Chopped wood 25 5-8
Special fire lighting guide for stoves with soapstone or natural stone cladding
Stones are natural products which need to adjust to temperature changes. We recommend following
the procedure below:
1. First stoking (drawing F)
Push the air control lever (1) all the way to the right push the shaking grate lever (2) all the way in. Place
2 pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter) horizontally in the bottom of the combustion compartment (cor
-
responding to 1-2 kg). Place 5-8 pieces of kindling randomly on top. Place 2 firelighters between the top
layer of kindling. Light up the firelighters and close the stove door. If condensation forms on the glass,
keep the door ajar for a little while and close again. When the fire has gone out, open the door and leave
it open while the stove cools to room temperature.
2. Second stoking
Push the air control lever (1) all the way to the right push the shaking grate lever (2) all the way in. Place
2 pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter) horizontally in the bottom of the combustion compartment (cor
-
responding to 1-2 kg). Place 5-8 pieces of kindling randomly on top. Place 2 firelighters between the top
layer of kindling. Light up the firelighters and close the stove door. If condensation forms on the glass,
keep the door ajar for a little while and close again.
When no more yellow flames are visible and a suitable layer of embers has built up, the stove can be
stoked again. There is a suitable layer of embers when the bottom of the stove is covered completely.
Half fill the combustion chamber with dry wood with a diameter of about 7-9 cm. When all of the wood
has caught fire, turn the regulator (1) to middle position. Allow the fire to burn and let the stove cool to
room temperature before stoking again.
3. Third stoking
Repeat the procedure for the second stoking, Allow the fire to burn and let the stove cool to room
temperature after the fire has gone out.
Restoking:
Follow the general instructions, see the sections “Lighting the stove” and “Stoking”.
Lighting the stove (drawing F)
A successful combustion process requires that the wood is lit in the right way. A cold stove and a cold
chimney challenge the combustion process. It is important to achieve a high flue gas temperature quickly.
Push the air control lever (1) all the way to the right push the shaking grate lever (2) all the way in. Place
2 pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter) horizontally in the bottom of the combustion compartment
(corresponding to 1-2 kg). Place 5-8 pieces of kindling randomly on top. Place 2 firelighters between the
top layer of kindling. Light up the fire-lighters and close the stove door. If condensation forms on the
