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. Slow overnight burning is not advised for this
reason.
Ventilation
The stove requires an adequate air supply for successful operation
(see Installation section of these instructions for more details). En-
sure that air bricks or grilles supplied for this purpose are not
blocked. Be aware that the operation of exhaust fans or other appli-
ances that compete for ventilation in the vicinity may affect the per-
formance of the stove.
Running temperature
To get the best results from your stove it is recommended that a
wood stove thermometer be fitted to the flue pipe just above the
stove. Most thermometers are magnetic and if attached to the single
wall flue pipe just above your stove will give a good indication of the
flue gas temperatures.
Flue thermometers are available from www.vestastoves.co.uk
Flue Temperature Ranges.
150 °C - 300°C
The flue gases should be in this temperature band for the safest, most
efficient and most economical operation of your stove.
