Lighting the fire
The key to quick and easy lighting
of the stove is the ample use of
kindling wood logs. If too little
kindling is used, the fire will be
slow to start and will produce
excessive smoke and deposits on
the glass.
The grate should be put in the
open position (handle up).
Firelighters or well crumpled
paper should be surrounded with
small pieces of kindling toward
the back of the grate.
Light the fire and with the door
lock engaged but the door slightly
ajar let the fire light up. After
the kindling is well alight add
larger pieces of fuel to the fire
and after a few more minutes this
fuel should be well alight. The
stove can be fully loaded now and
a bright high temperature fire
should result. Once the fire is
well alight the door can be fully
closed. Since Wood logs are used
the grate needs to be closed.
The stove damper will normally
not require adjustment down until
after approximately half an hour
to forty-five minutes, as the
stove will take this time to
fully heat up. Under normal
conditions the damper will
be moved to about 8mm along the
slider for optimum operation.
Firing &
Refuelling
Do not let the fire burn down too
low before refueling as the new
fuel will smoke excessively and
will require a long time to become
fully alight. Open the damper
fully every time you refuel the
stove for at least five to ten
minutes to aid rapid lighting of
the new fuel (not necessary when
using dry wood logs). This will
help prevent excessive smoking and
will help to keep the stove and
the glass clean. Once the new fuel
is well alight, the damper can be
adjusted down to an appropriate
setting.
Slow burning
Your InisBofin is capable of slow
burning making overnight burning
possible at a reduced output. To
achieve overnight burning, open the
damper fully and fill the firebox
with a full charge of fuel and let
it ignite fully. When the fire is
burning brightly, the stove damper
can then be closed down. With the
damper almost fully closed and the
correct draft in the chimney, an 8-
12 hour burn time is possible. For
more heat output over
a shorter time span the damper can
