When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other

organic vapors. These combine with moisture to form

creosote. Creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool

chimney ue of a slow-burning re. As a result, creosote

residue accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited,

this creosote makes an extremely hot re. The chimney

should be inspected regularly during the heating season

to determine if a creosote build-up has accumulated. If

this is the case, the creosote should be removed to re-

duce the risk of chimney re.

1. Burn with air control open for several minutes at nu-

merous intervals throughout the day during the heat-

ing season, being careful not to over-re unit. This re-

moves the slight lm of creosote accumulated during

low burn periods.

2. Burn stove with draft control wide open for several

minutes every time you apply fresh wood. This allows

wood to achieve the charcoal stage faster and burns

wood vapors which might otherwise be deposited with-

in the system.

This unit features a convenient ash lip for easy removal

of ash. During constant use, ashes should be removed

every few days, or whenever ashes get to three to four

inches deep in the rebox. Remove ashes only when the

re has died down and the ashes have cooled. Even then,

expect to nd a few hot embers.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-

tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed

on a noncombustible oor, well away from all combus-

tible materials, pending nal disposal. If the ashes are dis-

posed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,

they should be retained in the closed container until all

cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not

be placed in the ash can.

3. Burn only seasoned wood. Avoid burning wet or green

wood. Seasoned wood has been dried for at least one

year.

4. A small hot re is preferable to a large smouldering

one that can deposit creosote within the system.

5. Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burner and r-

ing technique. Check daily for creosote build-up until

experience shows how often you need to clean to be

safe. Be aware that the hotter the re, the less creo-

sote is deposited. Weekly cleaning may be necessary

in mild weather even though monthly cleaning may

be enough in the coldest months. Contact your local

municipal authority for information on how to handle a

chimney re. Have a clearly understood plan to handle

a chimney re.
