Try the following
Further information: See the section on

Ensure that the smoke pipe or chimney is not
blocked. Ensure that the chimney height is
correct in relation to its surroundings.
Only fire with firewood that has dried for at
least 12 months beneath a covered shed and
with a maximum water content of 20%.
The seals should be soft and flexible. If they
are not, replace them. New seals can be
purchased from your local wood-burning stove
dealer.
Pull out the damper underneath the door to its
middle position, or no longer than 10 mm out.
Place more firewood inside the stove and pull
out the damper a bit more.
Open the damper.

Open up the primary air supply by completely
pulling the adjustment knob beneath the door
towards yourself. Moreover, igniting a larger
