It is not recommended that you turn it down completely. a mistake commonly made is
shutting the damper too early because it feels too hot. this results in dark smoke ema-
nating from the chimney and the calorific value of the firewood is not being used to its
fullest.

Room ventilation

the stove to emit smoke and fumes into the room.
the stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate safely
and efficiently.
In accordance with building Regulations approved Document j a permanent air supply
vent is required into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air.
