The air circulation around the firebox serves to cool the fireplace and must not be blocked in any manner. Blocking of the inlet slot or outlet louver will cause the firebox to reach hazardous temperatures.

  • Page 27 IREPLACE PERATION VS. F OSSIL UELS Compared to fossil fuels, a full cord of dry hickory weighs about two tons and is approximately equal in heating value to a ton of hard coal. On a pound basis, heavy hardwoods have about half the heating value of coal. The tabulation shows the relative densities and heat values of a variety of dry woods.

  • Page 28: Maintenance And Safety

    AINTENANCE AND TORAGE Wood can be dried sufficiently for burning within a few weeks if protected form rain in a low humidity area. It is far better to cut wood and allow it to dry for a year. In all cases, the wood should be stacked so that both ends of the sticks are exposed to the air and protected from rain.

  • Page 29: Checklist Of Do'sand Don'ts

    AINTENANCE AND IREPLACE AINTENANCE At the end of each heating season or when the fireplace will not be in use for an extended time, the ashes should be removed and the hearth area should be swept as clean as is practical. The slow absorption of moisture into the ashes over a long period of time could cause a condition which would be corrosive to the metal fireplace parts.
  • Page 30 AINTENANCE AND 20. Do build fires of moderate intensity in the fireplace for the first three fires to allow materials to adjust and cure before being subjected to the intense heat of a large fire. DON’TS 1. Don’t allow other installations or operation considerations to take priority over safety considerations. 2.
