temperatures above 400 °Celsius. This will happen

during the ﬁrst few times of lighting the stove and

temperatures rise to 600 °C. Though this may give an

unpleasant smell, it is otherwise harmless. It is advisable

to keep the stove burning with limited fuel for at least 6

hours when lighting the stove for the ﬁrst 4 or 5 times.

Some deposit may form on the glass panes of the stove

when you ‘anneal’ your hearth. You can easily remove

this deposit with a damp cloth after the stove has cooled

down. You can also use some cleansing agent for

ceramic rings. Please make sure you do not leave any

ﬁnger marks on the clean glass. Finger marks burn into

the glass and cannot be removed later.

Fuel: wood

Fruit trees, Beech 2 years

Oak 2.5 years

The stove only burns on wood. Do not put more than 3

to 4 kg of fuel in the stove at the time. Always use clean

and cut logs, which have sufﬁciently dried. Please see

the above list for drying times. Wet wood does not burn

well and gives heavy smoke emission. It may blacken the

glass pane of your stove with soot and build up smut in

the ﬂue pipe. This may increase the risk of chimney ﬁre.

Fresh, moist wood contains about 50% moisture.

Cleaved wood still contains 20% moisture after drying

it for a year and moisture percentage will be decreased

to 12 to 15% after drying it for two years. Dry wood

gives nice ﬂames and little or no smoke, and the ﬁre

will crackle when burning. Wet wood makes a hissing

sound, gives much smoke and only small ﬂames which

will considerably dampen the pleasure of burning your

stove and the heat output.

Do not put any parafﬁn-containing logs in your stove.

When the door is closed, the high heat will melt the

parafﬁn from the logs too quickly. The polluted ﬂue

gasses which consequently develop will deposit on and

burn in the glass of your stove and cannot be removed

later.

Do not use any wood that is painted, impregnated, glued

together or processed in any other way. The ﬂue gases

are very harmful to the environment and may affect your

stove. It is also prohibited to burn plastics and other

waste matter due to poisonous smoke development.

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:

• Foraregularcombustion,closethegrateshakerwhen

the stove is fuelled with wood.

• Ifyouclosetheenergy-savingvalveduringoperation

you will save a considerable quantity of fuel and

increase heat output at the same time

• 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

relatively cold air will cool the ﬁre. It will also preclude

ﬁre 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 efﬁcient combustion

and burdens the environment unnecessarily.

Newly-built house or recently renovated?

It is advisable to wait six weeks before lighting

the stove in a newly-built house that has recently

been completed, or in a space that has recently

been renovated drastically. The walls and ceilings

still contain gases, softeners and moisture from

plasterwork or paint. The warm air-streams may

discolour the dust particles in the space which may

stick to walls and ceilings. Even the moisture in the

walls and ceilings will become warm and may cause

yellow stains.

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 off much heat and

form charcoal easily. Softer woods like spruce, ﬁr

and poplar give more ﬂames 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.
