Fire Risk

Do not over-fire.

Over-firing may ignite creosote or will damage the stove and chimney.

•Use flammable liquids

•Overload with wood

•Burn trash or large amounts of scrap lumber

•Permit too much air to the fire

•Use of processed solid fuel fire logs

•Loud cracking or banging sounds

•Metal warping

E. Seasoned Wood

Burn only dry seasoned wood.

•Store wood under cover, out of the rain and snow.

•Dry and well-seasoned wood will not only minimize the chance of creosote formation, but will give you the most efficient fire.

•Even dry wood contains at least 15% moisture by weight, and should be burned hot enough to keep the chimney hot for as long as it takes to dry the wood out - about one hour.

•It is a waste of energy to burn unseasoned wood of any kind.

Dead wood lying on the forest floor should be considered wet, and requires full seasoning time.

•Standing dead wood can be considered to be about 2/3 seasoned.

•To tell if wood is dry enough to burn, check the ends of the logs.

•If there are cracks radiating in all directions from the center, it is dry.

•If your wood sizzles in the fire, even though the surface is dry, it may not be fully cured.
