FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND SMOKE DETECTORS

All homes with a solid fuel burning appliance should have at least one fi re extinguisher in a central location,
known to all, and at least one smoke detector in the room containing the appliance. If it sounds an alarm,
correct the cause but do not de-activate or relocate the smoke detector.

FUEL LOADING AND BURN CYCLE

BURN WOOD BEHIND THE LOG RETAINER DIRECTLY ON THE FIREBRICKS.
DO NOT STORE WOOD WITHIN APPLIANCE INSTALLATION CLEARANCES OR WITHIN THE SPACE
The bricks will be nearly all white and the glass mostly clear. The whiteness of the bricks and the cleanness of the
glass are good indicators of your operating effi ciency.
Not enough heat is produced when only one or two pieces of wood are burned.
A minimum of three pieces are needed to encase a bed of coals that sustains the fi re. Loosely stacked wood burns
quicker than a tightly packed load.
Wood burns in cycles rather than giving a steady output of heat. It is best to plan these cycles around your
household routine so that only enough coals are left to start the next load. In the evening load your appliance at
least a half-hour before bed to ensure the fi re is hot enough to close the draft control for an overnight burn.
Burn only dry seasoned wood. It produces more heat and less soot or creosote. Do not burn ocean beach wood. Its
salt content can produce a metal eating acid.
