OPERATING THE Ladera fireplace Fuel
USE SOLID NATURAL WOOD FUEL ONLY. The Ladera fireplace is designed to work best when fueled with dry seasoned natural wood only. Hardwoods are preferred to softwoods since the energy content of wood is relative to its density. Hardwoods will result in a longer burning fire and less frequent refueling. A moisture content of 15% to 20% (seasoned) is recommended. Wood that has been cut and split and let to dry under a cover for a period of one year will usually meet that criteria. Excessively wet wood will be difficult to burn and will result in lower efficiency, increased creosoting and deposits on the glass and in the chimney. Excessively dry wood will burn well but will also have higher emissions and shorter burning time.
Do not burn scrap or garbage, treated wood or wood such as driftwood from the ocean which has been exposed to salt or other chemicals. Salt or chemicals can corrode the firebox and chimney. Do not burn large amounts of paper, cardboard, Christmas tree branches or building construction materials. Intense firing with these materials may overheat the fireplace, causing damage to the unit, a fire or even possibly igniting a chimney fire if the chimney is creosoted.
First Fires
Before using the fireplace make sure to remove the plastic wrapping and EPA label on the door. Remove any glue residue left by the label using mild soap.
The first five or six fires should be small fires of short duration (about 30 to 60 minutes).
This will help cure the refractory bricks. The first fires may produce slight smoking and some odor due to curing of the paint and steel and the burning off of dust accumulated on the fireplace will burn off at this time. It may set off a smoke alarm located in the same room. For this reason the room should be well ventilated for the first few fires.
