Regular maintenance includes cleaning the stove's glass door, emptying the ashpan, and ensuring the flue is clear of obstructions. It's also important to have the chimney professionally cleaned at least once a year and to check seals and gaskets for wear.

How can I troubleshoot smoke issues with the AGA Much Wenlock stove?

Smoke issues can be caused by insufficient draw from the chimney. Ensure that the chimney is clean and that the flue is open. Check for any blockages in the air inlets and ensure that the room is adequately ventilated. If problems persist, consult a professional installer.

What types of fuel are recommended for use in the AGA Much Wenlock stove?

The AGA Much Wenlock stove is designed to burn seasoned hardwood logs and smokeless coal. Avoid using unseasoned wood or household waste, as these can produce excessive smoke and creosote buildup.

To maximize efficiency, use well-seasoned wood with a moisture content of less than 20%, and ensure the stove is regularly maintained. Adjust the air controls to maintain optimal combustion and prevent overheating.
