Lighting the Stove
Fuel Use
It is recommended to only use wood or high grade anthracite (a form of coal) in this stove.
Green or wet wood will reduce the heat output of the stove, and will cause a buildup of creosote on
the inside of the stove and flue.
It is recommended to use hardwoods such as oak, ash, or elm as a fuel instead softwoods such as
pine. Extended use of softwood will eventually block the exhaust flues.
Never use scrap or treated wood. These may contain toxins which will vapourise when heated,
potentially posing a health risk.
Do not use low grade anthracite as a fuel: it will clog the air vents
Do not use coking coal as a fuel: this exceeds the thermal rating of the stove and may cause the
stove walls to warp and break.
When using coal as a fuel:
-Loosely ball up some easily flammable material such as newspaper in the centre of the fire box.
-Open all the air vents: the front screw vents and the rear vent to provide an unobstructed
airflow to the fire.
-Lay small twigs and small branches on top of the paper.
-Place some small and large lumps of coal on top of the branches.
-Close the door of the stove.

-Lay one or two logs on top of the small branches.
-Light the paper and close the door of the stove.
It will take time for you to familiarise yourself with your fireplace. Do not expect quick responses
from air vent regulation.
Use of the disallowed fuels will void the warranty on the stove.
