SOMEWHERE FOR YOUR FUTURE REFERENCE.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Pyroclassic® fires have been in production for over 25 years here in New Zealand. Our experience,
along with other New Zealand manufacturers, is that most problems relating to obtaining
maximum efficiencies come from loading the fire with wet or damp firewood.
The New Zealand Home Heating Association report that as much as 95% of complaints received, are as a
result of poor fuel.
We strongly suggest that you read the section regarding Firewood.
