C. Fuel
WARNING! For use with solid wood fuel only.
Other fuels may overfire and generate poisonous gases (i.e.
carbon monoxide).
This fireplace is designed to burn natural wood only.
Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally re-
sult when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as
compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hard-
woods. DO NOT BURN:
• Garbage
• Lawn clippings or yard waste
• Materials containing rubber, including tires
• Materials containing plastic
• Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners,
or asphalt products
• Materials containing asbestos
• Construction or demolition debris
• Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood
• Manure or animal remains
• Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water
saturated materials
• Unseasoned wood
• Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.
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.
Burning these materials may result in release of toxic
fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause
smoke.
