5. Re-stoking should normally be carried out while embers
still remain. Distribute the embers in the bottom, ensuring
that most of them are at the front of the stove.
6. Place 2 pieces of wood of approx. 0.7 kg each and ap-
prox. 25-30 cm long over the embers in a single layer, with
a distance of approx. 1 cm.
7. Open the air supply to maximum and close the door; the
fresh wood will then ignite within a couple of minutes.
Important!
It is important that the fresh quantity of wood starts
to burn quickly. To ensure the fuel lights quickly, open
the combustion air to max. or leave the door ajar to
allow in the amount of air needed to light the wood.
If, however, the wood only smoulders, there will be a
strong build-up of smoke, which at worst can cause
an explosive ignition of the flue gases with the risk
of material damage and personal injury.
8. Reduce the amount of combustion air to the desired po-
sition, and optimal combustion will continue until there are
glowing embers in the bed.
Make sure that there is always enough air (oxygen) to main-
tain clear, lasting flames when, and after, reducing the amount
of combustion air.
During the nominal test, the stoking interval was 60-70 min-
utes.
9. A new portion of wood can be added by repeating steps
5 & 6.
The stove door should normally be opened gently the first 2-3 cm, then you should wait until
the pressure has equalised before opening the door all the way. This technique will prevent
smoke from getting out, particularly when there is a poor draugt.
The stove door should never be opened when the stove is being fired vigorously.
Once the wood has burned out, it becomes glowing charcoall. If a good layer of embers has
already formed on top of a sufficient layer of ash, the stove can keep warm for a very long
time, not least due to the favourable qualities of the cast iron.
