Burning Your Appliance Efficiently

Your Fireplace Xtrordinair is designed to heat your home efficiently with the lowest amount of creosote build-up and pollutants emitted. The following steps provide a guideline to efficient burning:

On cold days, when you wish for high heat output from your appliance, load the appliance fully after the fire has been established and burn at a medium-high to high burn mode. When a comfortable heat level in your home has been reached, subsequent loadings would be of lesser amounts of wood. On warmer days, burn smaller fires, using less wood. This method will give you the most efficient burn possible.

Although the fire will burn longer at a lower setting, your appliance will not produce as much heat and it will increase soot accumulation on the appliance, chimney and glass.

For an overnight burn, establish a hot fire. Before you are ready to retire, completely fill the appliance with wood. With the controls in the fully open position, let the fire burn intensely for 10 to 15 minutes. Next adjust the draft control so that a low, lazy flame is visible. In the overnight burn, you should be able to maintain a fire for about 8-10 hours, depending on the type of wood used, and still have a coal bed, with no visible flame, left to start the morning fire. To re-establish a fire after an overnight burn, open the controls fully and stir the ashes to bring hot coals to the surface. Then load more wood to re-establish the fire. If you dampen the fire down too low, you will not only lower the heat output, but you will be promoting creosote build-up. It will take a few days of practice to achieve the desired settings.

Daily Use of Your Appliance

Some helpful hints: After loading your appliance, open the air control and allow your appliance to burn vigorously for 20 or 30 minutes. This will assist in the burn-off of any creosote which accumulates over periods of extended use at low settings.
