Operational Position of air sliders during operation and in adverse conditions
You need to become familiar with your stove in order to be able to regulate the air controls (sliders)
correctly, as outside factors such as the quality
and height of your chimney, the quality of your fuel and
the external weather conditions can alter the stoves operational settings and performance.
Very damp weather can affect the draw of the stove and therefor more secondary air may be needed to
adjust. Very still cold clear days induce more draught and the setting for secondary air may be less than
nominal settings. Such accommodations will become normal once you are familiar with your stove. It
is easy to see whether the stove is functioning correctly; incomplete combustion will be shown by:
1) The inside of the fire chamber firebricks having a black dusty build up,
2) A build-up of hard shiny soot on the inside of the glass
3) Smoking chimney.
To prevent sooting of the chamber and glass introduce more secondary air, also check that your wood is dry.
