To start a fire, ensure the air vents are fully open. Use dry kindling and small logs to build a base. Light the kindling and gradually add larger logs once the fire is established.
Check for blocked air vents and ensure the chimney is clean. Use seasoned, dry wood and maintain a proper draft by adjusting the air supply.
It's recommended to clean the chimney at least once a year to prevent creosote buildup and ensure efficient operation.
No, burning coal in a wood stove can damage the stove and create safety hazards. Use only the fuel specified by the manufacturer.
Clean the glass regularly with a damp cloth and stove glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the glass.
Smoke may enter the room due to a blocked chimney, poor draft, or open door. Ensure the chimney is clear and try opening a window to improve draft.
Store wood in a dry, well-ventilated area. Keep it off the ground and covered to protect from rain and snow, allowing it to season properly.
Use seasoned wood, maintain a good draft, and ensure regular maintenance of the stove and chimney. Consider adding a stove fan to distribute heat.
Stop using the stove immediately and check for blocked vents or chimney issues. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.
Inspect firebricks annually for cracks or damage. Replace any damaged bricks to maintain the stove's efficiency and safety.
