REDUCING SMOKE
There will always be some smoke when first lighting a fire. Start with kindling and have the top plate and door open.
Only add thicker pieces of timber once you have a good bed of flames. Once the fire is established, close the top plate
or replace with the diffuser.
•
Have the door in an open position.
•
On starting - do not overload the chamber.
•
Make sure that the timber is dry hard wood.
•
Use timber no thicker than the size of a can of soft drink.
•
Always have a flame burning when adding wood to minimise smoke.
•
Always add timber to a bed of flames.
•
Coal or heat beads can be added to help create a larger bed of coals, however you will need to ensure this is done
with a bed of kindling.
Remember: the Ozpig chamber is small and requires ventilation to keep the fire burning.
Keep the door at least partly open or use the Vented Door to prevent the fire from smoking
and going out due to lack of oxygen.

Care and Maintenance to prolong the life of your Ozpig
• We strongly suggest you regularly coat the outside to prevent light surface rust (if your unit is outdoors for
extended periods).
Also, it is advised to regularly coat all chimney parts with oil and a soft cloth or paper towel. Do this whilst the unit is
still warm (not hot).
• Please ensure your Ozpig is covered if left outdoors, and that the unit is cold before doing so. Our website showcases a
custom cover for purchase if required.
• If light rust does appear, this can easily be removed with a wire brush or by lightly sanding the unit with sandpaper. Wipe
clean and repaint with Pot Belly Black.
• Caution: Using abrasive cleaners on the Ozpig will damage the finish.
• Regularly remove ash build-up from under the internal fire grate before lighting the Ozpig. We recommend a small
garden spade.
