GASKET / BAFFLE REPLACEMENT

At the end of each burning season inspect the baffle lo- cated above the secondary air tubes for deterioration. Re- place if necessary. At this time also check that the door gasket is not worn or loose. Replace with 1/2" fibreglass rope if necessary.

CREOSOTE FORMATION AND REMOVAL

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. These vapours condense in the relately cooler chimney flue of a slow burning fire and when ig- nited, make an extremely hot fire. So, the chimney should be inspected monthly during the heating season to deter- mine if a build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumu- lated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

RUN-AWAY OR CHIMNEY FIRE

Run-away fires can be the result of THREE major factors:

1.Using incorrect fuel, or small fuel pieces which would normally be used as kindling.

2.Leaving the door ajar too long and creating extreme temperatures as the air rushes in the open door.

3.Burning your fireplace with the ash dump door open.

SOLUTIONS:

1.Do not burn treated or processed wood, coal, charcoal, coloured paper or cardboard.

2.Be careful not to overfire the unit by leaving the door open too long after the initial start-up.

3.Always operate the fireplace with the ash well in a closed position.

WHAT TO DO IF A RUN-AWAY OR CHIMNEY FIRE STARTS:

1.Close the draft fully (lowest position).

2.Call the local fire department.

3.Examine the chimney, attic and roof of the house, to see if any part has become hot enough to catch fire. If neces- sary spray with a fire extinguisher or water from a garden hose.

4.Do not operate the stove again until you are certain the chimney has not been damaged.

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND SMOKE DETECTORS

All homes with a solid fuel burning fireplace should have at least one fire extinguisher in a central location, known to all, and at least one smoke detector in the room containing the fireplace. If it sounds an alarm, correct the cause but do not de-activate or relocate the smoke detector.

WOODPILE MAINTENANCE

Burn only dry, clean unpainted wood that has been sea- soned. It produces more heat and less soot or creosote. Freshly cut wood contains about 50% moisture while after proper seasoning only about 20% of the water remains. As wood is burned, this water boils off consuming energy that should be used in heating. The wetter the wood, the less heat is given off and the more creosote is produced.

Both hardwood and softwood burn equally well in this fire- place but hardwood, which is denser, will weigh more per cord and burn a little slower and longer. Firewood should be split, stacked in a manner that air can get to all parts of it and covered in early spring to be ready for burning that fall. Dry firewood has cracks in the end grain.
