    Creosote may accumulate on the glass door. This method of burning should be used only after operating the BIS TRADITION CE fireplace with the air control opened to produce a hot fire for about an hour or at medium pace for at least 3 hrs. Slow combustion can be used at night in order to reduce the heat output and to prolong the burn.
