Page 5: Maintenance Checks
8. Establish a routine for the fuel, woodburning and Lighting techniques. Check daily for creosote buildup in the firebox, until you are experienced and are operating the stove cleanly and safely. 9. Be aware that the hotter the fire, the less creosote is deposited. More frequent chimney cleaning may be necessary in mild weather or when burning "wet"... -
Page 6: Chimney Smoke And Creosote Formation
Chimney Smoke and Creosote Formation 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 flue of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. -
Page 7: To Avoid A Chimney Fire
To Avoid a Chimney Fire 1. Burn wood cleanly. Do not burn wet wood or turn down the unit too quickly after loading. 2. Do not let creosote build up to a point where a chimney fire is possible. 3. Do not have fires in the heater that may ignite chimney fires. These are excessively hot fires, such as when burning household trash, cardboard, Christmas tree limbs, or even ordinary fuel wood;... -
Page 8: Operation
‘freshen up’ a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while in use. Your True North heater is designed for maximum overall efficiency at a moderate firing rate. Over firing the appliance will shorten the life of the product. Failure to rectify an over firing condition can be hazardous and may void the manufacturer's warranty. -
Page 9: How To Test Your Wood
The prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of starting a fire in an affected wood heater. Do not burn anything but cordwood. Other fuels, eg. charcoal, can produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, a tasteless, odourless gas that can kill. -
