Advice
Never burn wood with an open door.
Regularly burn wood with intense roaring fires.
If you frequently have low intensity fires, tar
and creosote may be deposited in the chimney
. Tar and creosote are highly combustible
substances. Thicker layers of these
substances may catch fire if the temperature in
the chimney increases suddenly. By allowing
the fire to burn very intensely regularly, layers
of tar and creosote will disappear.
Low intensity fires also cause tar deposits on
the stove window and door.
When the outside temperature is not very low,
it is better to burn wood intensely for a few
hours instead of having a low intensity fire for a
long period of time.
