If there is insu cient burning material in the rebed to light a new fuel charge,

excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a

su cient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite

in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the re bed, add suitable

kindling to prevent excessive smoke

burning wood requires a little e ort and planning.
