Stoking
This wood-burning stove is intermittent, meaning that fresh wood is required for stoking once an adequate layer of embers
has been achieved on the fire chamber floor. The heat requirement determines the amount of stoking, and the level of
stoking depends of the season. In order to ensure optional combustion, use 3 1-pound logs, approx. 20-30 cm in length
which are placed side by side on top of the embers from the kindling process. This will give you a combustion time of
approx. 45 minutes.
It is important to keep the door closed when flames are visible in the fire chamber to avoid smoke nuisances in the
room.
Move the air wheel handle to position 5 (maximum air supply.)
To minimize the negative pressure, the door to the fire chamber should be ajar for about 1 minute before it is fully opened.
Open the door slowly.
Place 3 1-pound logs (20-30 cm in length) next to each other on top of the embers.
Close the door again.
Once the wood has caught fire, the handle should be moved to position 4 or lower. You have achieved healthy combustion
when the flame is steady and almost transparent.
Emptying the ash pan
Open the door and remove the ash pan from a cold stove.
Use a closed steel container to store the ash and/or transport
it and discard it in a secure manner.
Note: embers may be hidden in the ash for several days.

9. The Clean Air Act and Smoke Control Areas

"The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas"
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a
smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any
fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area.
It is also an offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use within a smoke control area unless it is used
in an "exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in the smoke control area).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to authorise
smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in England. In Scotland and Wales
this power rests with Ministers in the devolved administrations for those countries. Separate legislation, the
Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels
burnt or obtained for use in smoke control areas have been "authorised" in Regulations and that appliances
used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than "authorised" fuels) have been exempted by an Order
made and signed by the Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.

Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including designation and
supervision of smoke control areas and you can contact them for details of Clean Air Act requirements"
