To light the stove, first ensure all air vents are fully open. Place kindling and small logs inside, then use a match or lighter to ignite the kindling. Gradually add larger logs as the fire establishes.
Check for blockages in the chimney or flue, ensure the air vents are not obstructed, and verify that you are using dry, seasoned wood. Regularly clean the stove and check seals on doors.
Clean the stove every week during heavy use. Remove ash buildup and clean the glass with a suitable cleaner. Perform a more thorough cleaning, including the chimney, every season.
Regularly check and clean the ash pan, inspect door seals for wear, ensure air vents are clear, and schedule annual professional chimney inspections.
Ensure good airflow by keeping air vents open and burning only dry, seasoned wood. Clean the glass regularly with a recommended stove glass cleaner.
Use hardwoods like oak, ash, or maple that have been seasoned for at least a year. Avoid softwoods and green wood as they produce more creosote and smoke.
Start with vents fully open when lighting the stove, then partially close them once the fire is established to control burn rate and efficiency.
Check for blockages in the flue or chimney and ensure the stove door is sealed properly. Verify that the room has adequate ventilation and that the fire is not smoldering.
Perform regular maintenance, use only recommended fuels, avoid over-firing, and have professional inspections annually to ensure all components are in good condition.
Creosote buildup is often due to burning wet or unseasoned wood, insufficient air supply, or low-temperature fires. Ensure proper burning techniques and regular chimney cleaning.
