Congratulations on your wood stove!
Here’s some advice to make the most of it:
- If your wall is not made from a non-combustible material, make sure you install a wall-protection panel behind your stove to shield the wall from excessive heat and premature yellowing, while also allowing you to reduce the required safety distances.
- Choose the companion best suited to your needs, so you can tend to the fire with the right accessories (tongs, poker, shovel and brush).
- Your firewood should be stored close to your stove for convenience. Choose a log holder with the right capacity for your needs.
- There are various solutions available to keep your stove glass clean and fully enjoy the view of the flames: multi-purpose sponges for regular and effective cleaning and spray cleaners for more occasional use.
- Don’t overlook the importance of quality fuel! Choosing the right wood is essential to enjoy a good fire and protect your installation. You can check the moisture level of your wood with a dedicated moisture meter – a valuable tool!
- Learn about the top-down ignition method! This is the recommended technique for producing fewer emissions and ensuring a rapid heat-up. Simply stack your logs with space between them, place the firelighters on top and you’re all set!
