Use plenty of newspaper and kindling to ensure the appliance quickly reaches a proper temperature. Once the kindling
is burning rapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood onto the fi re.
Tip: When fi rst lighting a fi re, if the smoke is not quickly drawn into the chimney, there may be a downdraft or cold air
in the chimney. By fi rst burning large amounts of crumpled newspaper, the chimney will get heated and the smoke will
quickly vent up the chimney.
A. To start, a brisk fi re is required.
Roll up some newspaper
(loosely crumpled), light it and
place it near the appliance fl ue
until the chimney begins to
draw.
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other forces.
Inadequate draft may cause back-puffi ng into the room and may cause plugging of the chimney. Too much draft may
cause an excessive temperature in the appliance, glowing red appliance parts or an uncontrollable burn which can all
lead to a chimney fi re or a permanent damage to the appliance.
