smoking

A properly installed appliance should not smoke. If yours does, check the following:
• Has the chimney had time to get hot?
• Is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance, chimney connector or chimney?
• Is the room too airtight and the air intake not connected to the outside? Try with a window partly open.
• Is the smoke fl ow impeded by too long a horizontal pipe or too many bends?
• Is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky chimney, a cold outside chimney, too large a diameter of a
chimney, too short a chimney, or a chimney too close to trees or a higher roof?
• Is the moisture content of the wood greater than 20%?

WARNING
!
• Burning wet, unseasoned wood can cause excessive creosote accumulation, which when ignited can cause a
chimney fi re that may result in a serious house fi re.
When refuelling, open the door slowly to prevent smoke spillage. Use a pair of long heat resistant gloves when
feeding the fi re. Keep a small steel shovel nearby to use as a poker and to remove ashes. Do not store wood
within 4 feet (1.2m) of the appliance.
