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.

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.

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.

• 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 ﬁre at one time. Too

much fuel at one time thwarts efﬁcient combustion

and burdens the environment unnecessarily.

• Ventilate the space well when you have the stove on.

A crackling ﬁre 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.

• 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 ﬁre suddenly with water, but let it

burn out. The materials inside the stove may deform

or crack as a result of sudden or great differences in

temperature.

• If you want to temper the ﬁre, ﬁrst close the valve in

the ﬂue tube and then close the air supply.

Chimney and ﬂue

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 qualiﬁed chimney sweep

must check whether the chimney ﬂue 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 effect and blow

the air back into the chimney. Relatively cold foggy

air may thwart proper draught in your chimney as

does a long ﬂue 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 ﬂue tube.

Maintenance

Small maintenance

• Remove the cooled ash from the ash pan twice or

thrice a week. It is advisable to use an ash bucket. An

empty ash pan is important since the stove also draws

in combustion air via the ash pan.

• It is advisable to leave an ash layer of two to three

centimetres. It will protect the ﬁre plate.

• Clean the shaking grid inside the stove with a soft

brush.

• Clean the exterior of the stove with a damp cloth

that does not give off ﬂuff. Do not use any aggressive

cleansing agents or abrasives.
