FUEL Wood- All types of wood are suitable provided they are well seasoned, UNTREATED, and have a moisture level between 12% and 20%. For soft woods, typically they will need to have been left in suitable storage for 9+ months for the moisture to evaporate. For hardwoods, this will usually be 18 months+.
AIR CONTROLS Base lever - This controls the Secondary/Airwash and Tertiary burn system. Air is drawn through the rear and is fed over the fire through a series of holes above the bricks and on the baffle itself. This helps to burn off the initial smoke and gasses produced by the fire, prior to it going up the chimney. Air also flows past these holes and is fed over the glass through an internal layer of steel, helping it to keep clean and clear of smoke stains.

Air controls left open Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke.

when it does eventually require re-finishing, black heat resistant paint in spray cans can be purchased from most hardware stores but we would suggest using “Calfire flat black paint”. – Do not use regular paint which is not high temperature resistant. After prolonged periods of not using the fire, the stove and flue system should be checked for blockages prior to relighting.
