Hints for Burning


Get the appliance hot before adjusting to low burn

Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and high burns to increase temperature

Use larger pieces of wood for overnight or sustained burns

Stack the wood tightly together to establish a longer burn

Be considerate of neighbors & the environment: burn dry wood only

Burn small, intense fires instead of large, slow burning fires when possible

Learn your appliance's operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance

Selecting Wood

Burn only untreated wood. Burning other materials such as wood preservatives, metal foils,
coal, plastic, sulfur, or oil may damage the stove.

Dry Wood is Key - 15-20%
moisture content

Dry wood burns hot, emits less
smoke and creates less creosote.

Testing Wood Moisture

Split wood stored in a dry area will
be fully dry within a year. This
ensures dry wood. If purchasing
wood for immediate use, test the
wood with a moisture meter. Some
experienced wood burners can
measure wood moisture by
knocking pieces together and
listening for a clear "knock" and not
a "thud".

Testing Wood Moisture – Split a
piece of wood down the middle and
test the center using a wood
moisture meter.
