Operating Your Wood Fire - Osburn INSPIRE 2000 Installation And Operation Manual

4. Operating Your Wood fire

NEVER OVERFIRE YOUR WOOD FIRE. IF ANY PART OF THE WOOD FIRE STARTS TO GLOW
RED, OVER FIRING IS HAPPENING. READJUST THE AIR INTAKE CONTROL AT A LOWER
SETTING.
NEVER LOAD YOUR WOOD FIRE UP TO THE BAFFLE. ALWAYS LEAVE 5 TO 10 CENTIMETERS
TO ALLOW PROPER COMBUSTION THROUGH SECONDARY AIR OPENINGS (NEVER PUT
WOOD ABOVE THE FIREBRICK LINING ON THE FIREBOX). THIS WILL ALSO PREVENT
OVERFIRING OF YOUR WOOD FIRE.
SHOULD THERE BE SOME SOOT OR CREOSOTE FIRE IN YOUR FLUE SYSTEM, CLOSE THE
AIR CONTROL COMPLETELY. IMMEDIATELY CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
