9. Advice on Lighting a Fire

The best way to light a fire is with the use of lightening 

briquettes and dry kindling wood.  Newspapers 

cause a lot of ashes and the ink is damaging for the 

environment. Advertising flyers, magazines, milk 

cartons and similar are not suitable for lighting a fire. 

Good air supply is important at ignition. When the flue is 

hot the draught increases and door can be closed.

Warning: NEVER use a lighting fuel such as 

petrol, paraffin, methylated spirits or similar for 

lighting a fire. This could cause injury to you as 

well as damaging the product.

Use clean and dry wood with a maximum moisture 

content of 20% and minimum 16%. The wood logs 

should dry for a minimum of 6 months after it is cut. 

Humid wood requires a lot of air for the combustion, 

as extra energy/heat is required for drying the humid 

wood and heat effect is therefore minimal. In addition 

this creates soot in the chimney with the risk of creosote 

and chimney fire

. 

Storing of Wood

In order to ensure that the wood is dry, the tree should 

be cut in winter and then stored during the summer, 

under roof and in a location with adequate ventilation. 

The wood pile must never be covered by a tarpaulin 

which is lying against the ground as the tarpaulin will 

then act as a sealed lid that will prevent the wood from 

drying. Always keep a small amount of wood indoors for 

a few days before use so that moisture in the surface of 

the wood can evaporate.

Firing

Lack of air to the combustion may cause the glass 

to soot. Hence, supply the fire with air just after the 

wood is added, so that the flames and gases in the 

combustion chamber are properly burnt off. Open the 

air vent and have the door slightly ajar in order for the 

flames to establish properly on the wood.

Note that the air supply for the combustion also can 

be too large and cause an uncontrollable fire that 

very quickly heat up the whole hearth to an extremely 

high temperature (when firing with a closed or nearly 

closed door). For this reason you should never fill the 

combustion chamber completely with wood.

Choice of Fuel

All types of wood, such as birch, beech, oak, elm, ash 

and fruit trees, can be used as fuel in the fireplace. 

Wood species have different degrees of hardness - the 

higher the hardness of the wood, the higher the energy 

value. Beech, oak and birch have the highest degree of 

hardness.

NB! We do not recommend the use of fuel briquettes / 

compact wood in our combustion chambers, as these 

products may develop significantly higher temperature 

than the combustion chamber can withstand. Burning 

briquettes / compact wood is at your own risk and can 

cause invalidity of the warranty.

Warning: 

NEVER use impregnated wood, painted wood, 

plywood, chipboard, rubbish, milk cartons, 

printed material or similar. If any of these items 

are used as fuel the warranty is invalid.

Common to these materials is that they during 

combustion can form hydrochloric acid and 

heavy metals that are harmful to the environment, 

you and the fireplace. Hydrochloric acid can also 

corrode the steel in the chimney or masonry in 

a masonry chimney. Also, avoid firing with bark, 

sawdust or other extremely fine wood, apart from 

when lighting a fire. This form of fuel can easily 

cause a  flashover that can lead to temperatures 

that are too high.

Warning: Make sure the fireplace is not 

overheated - it can cause irreparable damage to 

the product. Such damage is not covered by the 

warranty.
