Safety and Maintenance Burn only dry, well seasoned wood. The denser or heavier the wood when dry, the greater its heat value. This is why hardwoods are generally preferred. Green or wet wood WARNING: should not be used, as it will reduce heat output, as well as contributing signifi cantly to Never use chemicals or any other volatile liquid to start a fi re.
Creosote Formation and Need for Removal When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney fl ue of a slow burning fi re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the fl ue lining.
If You Suspect a Chimney Fire Signs of a chimney fi re may be one or more of the following: A roaring sound 2. Vibration of the chimney 3. Flames and sparks shooting out of the top of the chimney In Case of a Chimney Fire Immediately close the air inlets on the stove.
