Do not use any wood that is painted, impregnated, glued together or processed in any other way. The

ue gases are very harmful to the environment and may aect your stove. It is also prohibited to burn

plastics and other waste matter due to poisonous smoke development.

Wood species and storage

You can use all kinds of woods as fuel as long as it is clean, split and dry. Hardwood like oak, beech and

birch burn slowly, give o much heat and form charcoal easily. Softer woods like spruce, r and poplar

give more ames but less heat and less charcoal.

The best place to store timber is in a windy spot but sheltered from the rain. This is how the logs can

dry in a natural way. Pile the logs on an old pallet or a frame to let the wood dry from underneath and

to prevent the lower logs from being in contact with water.

The best way to burn your stove

All WANDERS’ stoves are designed so that they give a maximum output. A well-lit wood-burning stove can

produce a yield of about 75%. This means that you need less wood for the same amount of heat. Moreover, a

well-lit stove produces less smoke pollution. Below are a few tips to give you optimum pleasure:

• Always burn your stove with its door closed; this will improve the output within 8 to 10 times. When the

door of the stove is open, the chimney will draw more air than is needed for proper combustion. The rela-

tively cold air will cool the re. It will also preclude re damage by any sputtering sparks, especially from

softwood.

• Do not put more than 3 logs on the re at one time. Too much fuel at one time thwarts ecient combus-

tion and burdens the environment unnecessarily.

• Ventilate the space well when you have the stove on. A crackling re has a minimum air consumption of 25

cubic metres an hour. Never put on your cooking hood when you have a stove burning in the same space.

• Let extra air into your wood stove only when you start ring the hearth. A constant oversupply of air will

make the logs burn more rapidly while your hearth will not have enough time to give o its heat to the

room; if you overheat the stove, it may get damaged.

• Be careful with lighting the stove when it is foggy or when there is no wind outside. There is hardly any

draught in the cold chimney when the weather is calm. Since smoke is heavier than air there is the chance

of smoke streaming into the room. In foggy weather, the smoke from the chimney (outside) cools quickly

and may descend and become a nuisance in your neighbourhood.

• Don’t smother the re suddenly with water, but let it burn out. The materials inside the stove may deform

or crack as a result of sudden or great dierences in temperature.

Chimney and ue

The chimney is the most important part of your wood-burning hearth.

When the chimney is right it will not distribute any smoke into your room, leave any deposit on the glass pane

or create bad combustion. Before starting the installation of the stove, your installer or a qualied chimney

sweep must check whether the chimney ue has a diameter of at least 150 millimetres over the entire length,

and whether the channel is clean, smooth and leak-proof.

Chimney with a proper draught

Warm air wants to ascend. This is the principle of every chimney. It helps when the wind near the

chimney mouth draws the air from the chimney.

Fall wind may give the opposite eect and blow the air back into the chimney. Relatively cold foggy

air may thwart proper draught in your chimney as does a long ue pipe with a rough inside and many

bends. If the natural draught in your chimney is poor your installer can give you information about

using a ventilator for your ue tube.
