Using your logburner properly

Log burner Manuals

Have you started using your logburner again and find yourself scratching your head how to use it?
Are you puzzled which air feed makes the fire hotter / colder and which one stops the glass from getting sooty?
Have you inherited a log burner after moving house and are not too sure how to get the most out of it?

Forgotten how your logburner works?

It’s so easy to get into bad habits, so when it gets colder,
refresh your memory by downloading and reading your logburner manual.

If you have lost your manual
It's easy to lose your manual but it's very important to use your stove correctly.
See here for problems that can occur from incorrect usage.
Fortunately, some manufacturers publish manuals online so you can refresh your memory and get the most out of your burner.


Using your logburner properly, can mean;
• saving money by burning fewer logs
• avoiding a chimney fire or damage to your appliance and liner
• releasing less harmful chemicals into the environment that creates air pollution
• releasing less fumes into your property for you to breathe in
• keeping your appliance in tip-top condition and saving on costly repairs and maintenance
• help you troubleshoot problems without having to call and engineer or fire service. 

If you don't know the make and model of your stove, ask your chimney sweep for help when you get the flue cleaned next.
Here are a few links to some manufacturers' websites to help you find your manual.
Note some Chinese imports may not have an online manual and may have the same name as a different stove which does!

You can always book a chimney sweep and ask for their advice.


Man happy because he read the instruction manual
