5. Refuelling of your stove should be done while there are
still glowing embers in the bed. Spread the embers across
the bottom, but concentrated mostly towards the front of
the stove.
6. Place two pieces of fuel weighing roughly 0.5 kg and meas-
uring about 25 cm in length across the coals in one layer, with
spacing of roughly 1 cm between the pieces of wood.
7. When the secondary air supply – the right regulation han-
dle – is completely opened and the door is closed, the fresh
mass of wood will be ignited in a few minutes.
Important!
It is important that the fresh quantity of wood starts
to burn quickly. To ensure the fuel lights quickly, open
the combustion air to max. or leave the door ajar to
allow in the amount of air needed to light the wood.
If, however, the wood only smoulders, there will be a
strong build-up of smoke, which at worst can cause
an explosive ignition of the flue gases with the risk
of material damage and personal injury.
8. Once the new fuel has taken, adjust the secondary air
amount to the desired setting; optimal combustion will
continue until glowing charcoals are produced.
Make sure that there is always enough air (oxygen) to main-
tain clear, lasting flames when, and after, reducing the amount
of combustion air.
Under normal chimney draft conditions, expect to refuel
your stove every 60 - 70 minutes.
9. A new charge of wood can be added by repeating steps
5 & 6.
