requires some practice, as you must first become
familiar with its functioning. Do not expect an
immediate reaction of the fire when you slide
the Primary Air Control. The flame will not intensify
nor extinguish quickly as is the case with liquid
or gas fuels. Solid fuels like firewood react slowly.

combustion that does not produce smoke nor contamination

functioning.

What maintenance does my Bosca stove require?

Cleaning the flues is essential to ensure the proper functioning of your stove. This consists of
Firewood load
removing the creosote (a flammable substance that results from the combustion of firewood
with a high percentage of humidity and/or when there is insufficient air entering) from the
interior of the flue. This accumulation obstructs the flue and affects the proper functioning of
your stove, making the lighting process slow and tedious and impeding appropriate combustion.
Moreover, the combustion will not be vigorous and there will be insufficient draft and abundant
smoke emerging from the door.

IMPORTANT
The best moment to reload the stove is when a good layer of
cinders has set itself. If this layer is too thin, the way to reload it
is repeating the initial lighting procedure (page 5).
IMPORTANT
The "minimum" position on the Primary Air Control must only be used
to turn off the stove. It must never be used as a way to save firewood,
as the effect will be to make the functioning of the stove deficient.
IMPORTANT
Under certain conditions creosote can ignite, resulting in extremely high
and dangerous temperatures.
