Daily firewood oven — 8 useful tips





CHECK THE STATUS OF THE GRATE AND ASH PAN

Before firing up the boiler make sure that the ash pan is not full, and grate clean. To clean ash pan you must open the ashes door gently to get the ash pan and close the lid. After cleaning the ash pan make sure it is properly installed in place. During firing the ash pan should always be at the destined place. Security reasons make any action with the ashes only after it is completely cool. Pure wood ash can be used for plants in the garden.

THE ACCESS CHECK COMBUSTION AIR

Open the chimney damper (if present) and verify that the flow required for combustion air. Check the patency of the air ducts, the presence of objects preventing the flow of air, or other obstructions (e.g., snow and mud, if the combustion air takes place directly from the street). If necessary, disconnect the hood over the stove and hardware ventilation. The air intake vents of the fireplace furnace is located under zolnikova doors, in the case that the intake channel is not held in the street under the stove.

CHECK THRUST

Before firing always check the thrust. It is necessary to crease the piece of paper into a loose wad, and then put it on the grate, ignite and close furnace doors. In bright and vertical thrust flame in the chimney is sufficient. In T-models, the initial pull can be improved by the opening of the summer of the valve during the stage of ignition. Under bad conditions for generating thrust to achieve circulation of air in the chimney is possible by sending warm air in a flue drier or teplodom fan, sending a jet of warm air in prechistyi holes.In the fireplace furnaces equipped with vortex furnace, cleanout holes (Qty-3) located behind the ash pan. In models with flat grate cleanout openings located on the sides of the furnace and/or from the front.

IGNITION

During firing should be started with the ignition of the bookmark, the value of which is 10% of the maximum value of burned wood. The task of starting bookmark — heat the oven to add immediate load of logs. Heating a furnace quickly failing small tab allows you to achieve clean combustion while in the furnace. Use for starting bookmark is finely bifid (diameter 1-3 cm) of dry wood chips. Ignite the bookmark, placing the ignition (the ignition of the briquettes, bark, newsprint) on the grate, and on top of the kindling stacked chips. After a complete burn-out of the ignition tab, it is necessary to move the lever combustion air in a position corresponding to the stage of burning.



ADDITIONAL LOAD OF LOGS

Add the firewood just after the previous bookmark is burnt almost to embers and visible small but well discernible flames. Lay logs across the grate so that they were not in close proximity to the furnace doors. Do not fill the firebox above the limits indicated air hole in the furnace panel (Models stoves Tulikivi with a vortex furnace. During normal furnace recommended a number of additional tabs – 3-4 tabs. To ensure clean combustion furnace, close the door immediately after adding wood and keep them closed during firing.

COMPLETION OF THE FURNACE

After burning the last bookmark to the stage of charcoal, the lever of the air supply regulator to move to the position corresponding stage of the coals and rake coals from the edges of the furnace on the grate so that they form a dense layer. Will pavaresia coal several times until the coals do not burn through completely, and then lever the choke should be moved to the Closed position and in the end to close the flue damper (if available).

Don't forget! Carbon monoxide has no taste, odor and color, use caution!

During firing and for a long time after its completion certain parts of the furnace such as: pens, frames, furnace doors and internal parts of the furnace may be hot. Due to the Cabinet design, the maximum surface temperature of the furnace is kept from half an hour to two hours of burn-out last bookmark. In order to avoid overheating of the furnace follow the instructions. Do not store items of flammable materials in stoves, shelves, or in the vicinity of stoves.

WHEN USING STOVES WITH BUILT IN OVEN SHOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT:

Fireplace burns the same as a regular fireplace. When using the oven, the combustion air is directed through the air intake vents of the oven. Not the burnt coal is discharged through a special hole in the furnace and burned on the grate of the fireplace insert. Heat fireplace stove with built in oven on the eve of alleged cooking for one hour to ensure even heating result. Thus, the day of the alleged cooking the oven will heat up faster and more evenly.



WHEN THE FIREBOX OF THE STOVE WITH BUILT IN OVEN SHOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT:

In stoves with an integrated oven air inlet port of furnace doors and salenikovich doors remain open during ignition and combustion. During the formation of charcoal the air intake vents are located in semi-closed position. At the end of the coal discharged through the rear part of the combustion chamber on the grate, where they burn through to the end, releasing the heat. At this stage the intake hole doors oven with built-in oven is in the closed position, and the combustion air is conducted through vozduhonagrevateli salenikovich doors.
