WHAT KIND OF WOOD?
There is an old idea that using some green wood will insure long burn times.
THIS
IS WRONG! Always remember, the dryer the wood the better it is. It takes a great
deal of energy to evaporate the moisture contained in green wood and that energy
will not be heating your house. Also, green or wet wood will greatly increase creosote
problems.
In most cases the harder the wood the more heat. In all cases, the dryer the wood the
more heat it products. We recommend at least 12 months drying time, protected from
rain, for split firewood,
Our wood furnaces are not designed for burning coal and doing so will void the
warranty.
Never burn salt-water driftwood. It is very corrosive and will damage the firebox.
Burning salty wood also voids the warranty.
This controlled combustion firebox has been designed for high efficiency and long
burn times. The proper time to add more wood is when the last charge has been re-
duced to a glowing charcoal bed. There will be very little smoke at this stage in the
burn cycle.
WARNING: BURNING WET UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE
CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION. WHEN CREOSOTE IS IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE
A CHIMNEY FIRE WHICH MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.
