- Page 10 the stove away from the glass. Slow woodburning To slow the burning rate and output from the stove reduce the air en- tering the stove via the air controls. The fire must be well established and the stove hot before a minimum combustion rate is attempted. Note that if the air supply is restricted too much the fire will burn dirty and inefficiently.
- Page 11 Below 150°C This is below the condensation point of wood gases and may cause the build up of tar in the chimney, dirty the stove glass and result in the inefficient burning of fuel. Above 300 °C Too hot. Heat will be wasted up the chimney. Excess heat may dam- age the stove or ignite an existing accumulation of tar resulting in a chimney fire.

Different woods take varying amounts of time to season but, as a general guide, be- fore being used in a stove, wood should be cut to length, split and then stacked under cover (with the sides open to the air) for at least a year.
