To create a large, quick burning fire, use small pieces of wood. For a lower, but extended burn, stack larger pieces of wood close together. For long burns, leave a 1” (25.4mm) - 2” (50.8mm) bed of ashes. Burn dry wood only. With the exception of overnight burns, create large, quick burning fires whenever possible. Smaller, slow burning firesusing large logs will cause the glass to become dirty. Larger, quick burning fires using medium sized wood to refuelfrequently are much more efficient. It is important to minimize visible smoke emitting from the chimney. Burning seasoned firewood, maintaining theappliance catalyst and following the operating instruction contained within this manual will ensure that visible smokeemissions are minimized.DO’S Verify with a moisture meter that wood contains nomore than 20% moisture content. Burn several pieces of medium sized wood as theyare better than a few big pieces. Clean chimney regularly. Refuel frequently using medium sized wood. “Fine Tune” the air settings (if applicable) for optimumperformance.DONT’S Take ash out immediately. Let it accumulate to adepth of at least one inch. A good ash layer providesfor a longer lasting and better burning fire. Burn wet wood with more than 20% moisture content. Close the door too soon or damper down too quickly. Burn one large log rather than two or three smaller,sized logs. Burn at continually “low setting” (if applicable), if glassdoor is constantly blackened. This means the fireboxtemperature is too low.It is normal during operation to hear creaking and/or ticking sounds as the metal plate components of theappliance expands and contracts. This may be present during both warm up and cool down periods.During the break-in period (the first 2 or 3 fires) create only small, hot fires using kindling. This will allowthe firebrick to cure. Do not be alarmed if small hairline cracks develop in the firebrick. This is a normaloccurrence and does not pose a safety hazard. During this time the paint may also emit an odour as it curesand you may wish to open a door or window to alleviate the smell.There are many different ways to start a fire, review the hints and warnings in this section to ensure the fire isstarted properly.
