RUNNING YOUR FIREPLACE
Control and Operate your fireplace correctly by Loading your wood periodically with one good sized load every hour. This is far better than adding small amounts of wood at regular intervals.
Once your previous load has burnt down to glowing orange coals, spread these coals across the bottom of the fireplace chamber and add your new load of wood on top.
The number of logs you add depends on the heat output that you require and the heating capabilities of your fireplace. Load 3 pieces of wood into your wood fireplace per hour for a 9kw heat output.
Once the new load of wood is burning well, close the air intake controls to the point where you have a slower flame.
When starting the fire on a cold day, add 3 pieces of wood and kindling. After the first hour, repeat. Thereafter, if the room has reached a comfortable temperature, reduce the hourly load to maintain the desired temperate level.
Over firing your fireplace
Over-firing a fireplace, where it burns too hot, can cause damage to the fireplace itself, the chimney or even the surrounding area. This is usually due to excessive fuel, improper airflow, or issues with the venting. It significantly increases the risk of a chimney fire and can damage the fireplace’s components, like the throat, baffle plate, or grate.
