Running in a new woodburning stove.

When you first start using your new woodburning stove it is advisable to run the stove in with a series of 4 burns. Think of it like blowing up a balloon a little at a time until it is fully expanded.
Please note that the contraction of the stove as it cools is as important as the expansion so please allow the stove to fully cool between the burns as detailed below.

Burn 1 : Firelighters and kindling only.
Put all controls on full. Use a firelighter to light a small pile of kindling. Run on full until extinguished.

Burn 2 : As above but after 5 minutes add a small dry log. Run on full until extinguished.

Burn 3 : As above but add logs 2 & 3 20minutes after the 1st log. Run on full until extinguished.

Burn 4 : As above but add logs 4 & 5 20 minutes after 2 & 3.
Wait a further 5 minutes to allow the new logs to light and then turn the primary air off * (usually the bottom air control). The stove will now be fully up and running and should be delivering a significant amount of heat.

From this point on the stove should be ticking over slowly and consuming roughly 1 log per hour. If the stove seems to be running fast adjust the top air control to slow down the burn. Remember that the slower the gases pass through the firebox the more heat will be scrubbed out of the gases and the slower the wood will burn. It's a "win-win"!!

*This advice is based on my own experience and as flues vary in draw you may find that you need to keep a small amount of the primary air to keep the stove burning and the time intervals are shorter or longer than mine so adjust accordingly. These instructions assume that you are using dry and well seasoned hardwood.
