FLUE DRAUGHT The chimney can be checked, before the stove is installed, with a smoke match. If the chimney doesn't pull the smoke it may suggest the chimney needs attention (see the Flue Diagnosis Table, below). This test is only a guide as an apparently poor flue may improve once the stove is installed, lit and the flue is warmed.

FLUE STABILISER A flue stabiliser can be fitted to reduce the draught through the stove if the flue draught is too high. The flue stabiliser should be: Fitted in the same room as the stove. The same size as the flue pipe. ...

the stove can now be regulated by the rate at which fuel is added and by adjusting the air control. If the fire dies down too low, opening the air control for a short period will revive it. When reviving a low fire it is important to also use kindling before adding larger logs to help prevent smoke.

TYPES OF WOOD FOR FUEL For best results use well-seasoned hardwood such as Oak, Ash or Beech. Allow wood to dry out under cover in well-ventilated conditions for at least twelve months. As a rough guide wood is ready for burning when radial cracks appear in the end of logs. Properly dry wood means it should have a moisture content of between15%-20% which can only be accurately measured using a moisture meter.

MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE STOVE The stove should only be cleaned when it is cold. The exterior can be dusted with a firm brush. Do not use a cloth, as this will drag on the paint finish leaving lint on the surface. From time to time it may be necessary to renovate the exterior by repainting.
