Hints for Burning


Get the appliance hot before adjusting to low burn

Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and high burns to increase temperature

Use larger pieces of wood for overnight or sustained burns

Stack the wood tightly together to establish a longer burn

Be considerate of neighbors & the environment: burn dry wood only

Burn small, intense fires instead of large, slow burning fires when possible

Learn your appliance's operating characteristics to obtain optimum performance

Selecting Wood


Dry Wood is Key – moisture
content should be less than 25%

Dry wood burns hot, emits less
smoke and creates less creosote.

Testing Wood Moisture

Split wood stored in a dry area will
be fully dry within a year. This
insures dry wood. If purchasing
wood for immediate use, test the
wood with a moisture meter. Some
experienced wood burners can
measure wood moisture by
knocking pieces together and
listening for a clear "knock" and not
a "thud".

Why Dry Wood is Key

Wet wood, when burned, must release water stored within the wood. This cools the fire, creates
creosote, and hampers a complete burn. Ask any experienced wood burner and he or she will agree: dry
wood is crucial to good performance.
