fresh Air Kit
A fresh air kit enables you to use outside air, instead
of room air to fuel the fire. Using an outside source for
combustion air has its advantages. If your home is tight
and well insulated, the fire in the stove may be “starved”
of combustible air, it will be difficult maintaining a fire, and
you may have back drafting problems.
During the heating season, cold air, (which is more dense
than warm air), will cause the fire to burn a little hotter,
resulting in more BTU’s from your wood, and less creosote
build-up.Please contact an authorized Heartland dealer
to purchase this option.
most of the gases have vaporized,
charcoal remains. Charcoal is
almost 100% carbon and burns with
very little flame or smoke. Charcoal
is a good fuel that burns easily and
cleanly when enough oxygen is
present. Of the total energy content
of the wood you burn, about half is
in the form of smoke, and half is
charcoal.
Water: Up to half the weight of
freshly cut logs is water. After
proper seasoning only about 20%
of the weight is water. As the wood
is heated in the firebox, this water
boils off, consuming heat energy in
the wood, the more heat energy is
consumed. That is why wet wood
hisses and sizzles while dry wood
ignites and burns easily.
Understanding Combustion
Smoke (or flame): As the wood
heats up above the boiling point
of water, it starts to smoke. The
hydrocarbon gases and tars that
make up the smoke are combustible
if the temperature is high enough and
oxygen is present. When the smoke
burns, it makes the bright flames that
are characteristic of a wood fire. If the
smoke does not burn, it will condense
in the chimney forming creosote or
exit the chimney as air pollution.
Charcoal: As the fire progresses and
Servicing
Always use a qualified service/heating engineer when
servicing is required. Use only authorised replacement
parts. Do not make unauthorised modifications.
fume Emission Warning
Properly installed and operated, this stove will not emit
fumes.
Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling
may occur but persistent fume emission must not be
tolerated.
If fume emission does persist, then the following
immediate action should be taken:-
a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
b) Let the fire out or remove lit fuel from cooker.
c) Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if
required.
d) Do not attempt to relight fire until cause of fume has
been identified, and if necessary, seek professional
advice.
