Firewood should be split, stacked in a manner that air can get to all parts
of it and covered in early spring to be ready for burning that fall. Dry
firewood has cracks in the end grain.
Cut the wood so that it will fit horizontally, front to back, making for easier
loading and less of a likelihood that the wood will roll onto the glass.
Manufactured firelogs made by compressing 100% natural wood fibre can
be safely used as fuel. Do not use manufactured firelogs if they contain
additives such as paraffin, wax, binders etc. Never burn more than two
manufactured firelogs at a time.
Do’s
Dont’s
• Build a hot fire.
• Take ash out immediately. Let
it accumulate to a depth of at
least one inch. A good ash layer
provides for a longer lasting and
better burning fire.
• Use only dry wood.
• Burn wet wood
• Several pieces of medium sized
wood are better than a few big
pieces.
• Close the door too soon or damper
down too quickly. Burn one large
log rather than two or three
smaller, more reasonably sized
logs.
• Clean chimney regularly.
• Burn at continually “low setting”,
if glass door is constantly
blackened. This means the
Firebox temperature is too low and
energy is wasted by incomplete
combustion.
• Refuel frequently using medium
sized wood.
