Your Bari Wood Heater is designed to only burn
firewood-also known as cordwood.
•
CAUTION:
DO
NOT
FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE,
NAPHTHA, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER
FLUID OR ENGINE OIL TO START A FIRE. DO NOT
USE CHARCOAL, PELLETS, COAL, ARTIFICIAL
LOGS OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS AS FUEL;
THEY ARE NOT SAFE. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE.
The quality of your firewood affects heat output,
duration of burn and performance of your Fireplace
Insert. Softwoods generally burn hotter and faster,
while hardwoods burn longer and produce more long
lasting coals. Density and moisture content are two
critical factors to consider when purchasing wood for
your Fireplace Insert.
The following is a list of wood species and their
relative BTU (British Thermal Unit) content. The
higher the BTU content the longer the burn.
Firewood with higher a BTU content is generally
considered ideal for a wood stove.

Moisture content also plays a key role in the
performance of your stove. Wood freshly cut from a
living tree (green wood) contains a great deal of
moisture. As you might expect, green wood has
difficulty burning and should be seasoned before
using it in your wood stove. To properly season
green wood: split, stack and allow to air dry for a
period of one year.
Stack the firewood on skids or blocking to keep it off
the ground, cover only the top of the stack. Plastic
