5. Burning Process

Firerequiresfuel,airandheat.Ifheatisrobbedfromthe

replaceduringthedryingstage,thenewloadofwood

hasreducedthechancesforagoodcleanburn.Aways

burndry,seasonedrewood.

• Kindling or 1st stage:

Inthisstage,thewoodisheatedtoatemperaturehigh

enoughtoevaporate themoisturewhichis presentin

allwood.Thewoodwillreachtheboilingpointofwa-

ter (212°F) and will not get any hotter until the water

isevaporated.Thisprocesstakesheatfromcoalsand

tendstocoolthereplace.

• 2nd stage:

Thesecondarystageiswhenthewoodgivesoffam-

mable gases which burn above the fuel with bright

ames. It is very important that the ames be main-

tainedandnotallowedtogo out.This willensurethe

cleanest possible re. You should close down the air

tocontrolthepointwhereyoucanstillmaintainsome

ame.Iftheamestendtogoout,moreairisneces-

sary.

• Final stage:

The nal stage of burning is thecharcoal stage. This

occurs when the ammable gases have been mostly

burnedandonlycharcoalremains.This is a naturally

cleanportionoftheburn.Thecoalsburnwithhotblue

ames.

Itisveryimportanttoreloadyourreplacewhileenough

livelyhotcoalsremaininordertorekindlethenextload

ofwood.

8. Opacity

Opacityindicateshowcleanlyyourreplaceisburning.

Opacityismeasuredinpercent;100%opacityiswhen

anobjectistotallyobscuredbythesmokecolumnfrom

achimney,and0%opacitymeansthatnosmokecol-

umn can be seen. Periodically check the opacity and

burn your replace as nearly smoke-free as possible

(goalof0%opacity).

7. Creosote Formation

Whenwoodisburnedslowly,itproducestarandother

organicvaporswhichcombinewithexpelledmoisture

to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in

the relatively cool chimney ue of a newly-started or

a slow-burning re.As a result, creosote residue ac-

cumulatesontheuelining.

When ignited, creosote creates an extremely hot re

which may damage the chimney or even destroy the

house.

Thechimney shall be inspected at least annuallybe-

forelighting,oronceeverytwomonthsduringheating

season.

Whencreosotehasaccumulateditshallberemovedto

6. Dirty Glass

Aportionofthecombustion air entering thereboxis

deecteddownovertheinsideofthedoorglass.This

air ow “washes” the glass, helping to keep smoke

from adhering to its surface.When operated at a low

burnrate,lessairwillbeowingovertheglassandthe

smoky,relativelycoolconditionofalowrewillcause

the glass to become coated. Operating the replace
