Opacity (Smoke); Clear Space - Quadra-Fire 3100 Series Owner's Manual

I. Opacity (Smoke)
This is the measure of how cleanly your appliance is
burning. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is
when an object is totally obscured by the smoke column
from a chimney, and 0% opacity means that no smoke
column can be seen. As you become familiar with your
appliance, you should periodically check the opacity. This
will allow you to know how to burn as nearly smoke-free as
possible (goal of 0% opacity).
WARNING

• DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR
FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH
AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR
ENGINE OIL.
• Do NOT burn treated wood or wood with
salt (driftwood).
• May generate carbon monoxide if burn
material other than wood.
