WOOD FUEL
IMPORTANT :Never use toxicwood suchas chipboard,impregnated or painted wood.
Goodquality wood is the most important factor in your stoveworking efficiently and cleanly. Always use dry
firewood. Thedryness of the firewood plays an important role since the use of wet woodresults in poorfuel
economyand may causea tarry sooty film onthe internals of the stove.
Newly cut wood contains60-70% water, making it totally unsuitable for use as firewood.
Newly cut wood should be stacked and air dried under cover for two years beforebeing used as firewood.

however, to use other types of fuel with duecare. Whenusing coal/smokeless fuel youmust use a coal insert and
a mix of 80% wood, 20% coal. Please notecoalreducesthe lifetime of the stoveand the chimney considerably.
