Begin by ensuring the air controls are fully open. Place kindling and some firelighters in the stove, then light them and allow the fire to establish before adding larger logs. Gradually adjust the air controls to maintain the desired burn rate.
If the glass becomes sooty, it may indicate that the air controls are not set correctly or that the wood is too moist. Clean the glass using a stove glass cleaner and ensure future wood is well-seasoned and dry. Adjust the air controls for better airflow.
The flue should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year to prevent soot and tar build-up, which can pose a fire hazard. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on usage and fuel quality.
Use well-seasoned hardwoods such as oak, ash, or beech for optimal burning. These woods burn cleaner and longer compared to softwoods, providing efficient heat output.
To improve efficiency, ensure the stove is properly maintained, use seasoned wood, and operate the air controls effectively. Regularly clean the stove and flue to ensure maximum airflow.
Ensure the chimney is clear and not blocked. Check that the room has adequate ventilation and that the air controls are correctly adjusted. It may also be necessary to check the sealing of the stove doors and flue connections.
This could be due to using unseasoned wood, incorrect air control settings, or a dirty stove or flue. Ensure the wood is dry and adjust the air controls to increase airflow. Regular maintenance and cleaning will also help improve heat output.
Using well-seasoned hardwoods and maintaining proper air control settings can reduce ash production. Ensure complete combustion of the wood by adjusting the air supply appropriately.
Regularly clean the stove, inspect and clean the flue, check the seals on the stove doors, and ensure the air controls are functioning properly. Annual professional servicing is also recommended.
Some noise is normal due to the expansion and contraction of metal parts during heating and cooling. However, if there are unusual or loud noises, inspect for loose parts or contact a professional for assessment.
