Follow the simple steps below to ensure your stove burns with high efficiency and low emissions.
- Burn dry wood containing between 14-20% moisture for optimum burning and minimal emissions.
- When lighting your stove, use the top down method to ensure the flue begins to draw immediately. This lighting method will also ensure your stove reaches optimum efficiency as fast as possible.
- Keep the stove door closed. When the stove is closed, products of combustion exit through the chimney.
- When refuelling, open the door carefully to allow pressure to equalise and keep door opening time to a minimum.
- Ensure the stove is sized correctly for the environment. A 5kW stove run at 2kW will not burn at required optimum clean burn temperatures. We will conduct a site survey to ensure your stove is the right output for your home.
- Use an Ecodesign Ready stove or cassette fire. Our range of Ecodesign stoves and fires are designed to burn with high efficiency and low emissions and meet future air quality standards.
- Always make sure that you are complying with any DEFRA smoke regulations in your area. To burn logs in smoke control zones such as towns or cities, your stove or cassette fire must be DEFRA exempt. If you have a wood burning or multi-fuel stove that is not DEFRA exempt, or wish to burn fuel on an open fire, you must only burn authorised smokeless mineral fuels.
- Fit an Audible Carbon Monoxide Alarm. HETAS recommend that a CO alarm is installed in your house for both new and existing installations of wood burning stoves.
