A. Over-Firing Your Appliance

B. Wood Selection & Storage

Burn only dry seasoned wood. Store wood under cover,

out of the rain and snow. Dry and well-seasoned wood will

not only minimize the chance of creosote formation, but will

giveyouthemostefcientre.Evendrywoodcontainsat

least 15% moisture by weight, and should be burned hot

enoughtokeepthechimneyhotforaslongasittakesto

dry the wood out - about one hour. It is a waste of energy to

burnunseasonedwoodofanykind.

Deadwoodlyingontheforestoorshould beconsidered

wet, and requires full seasoning time. Standing dead wood

can be considered to be about 2/3 seasoned. To tell if wood

isdryenoughtoburn,checktheendsofthelogs.Ifthere

arecracksradiatinginalldirectionsfromthecenter,itisdry.

Ifyourwoodsizzlesinthere,eventhoughthesurfaceis

dry, it may not be fully cured.

1. Symptoms of Over-Firing

Symptoms of over-ring may include one or more of

thefollowing:

- Chimney connector or appliance glowing

- Roaring, rumbling noises

- Loudcrackingorbangingsounds

- Metal warping

- Chimneyre

2. What To Do if Your Appliance is Over-Firing

- Immediately close the door and air controls to reduce

airsupplytothere.

- Ifyoususpectachimneyre,calltheredepartment

and evacuate your house.

- Contact your local chimney professional and have

your appliance and appliance pipe inspected for

any damage.

- Do not use your appliance until the chimney

professional informs you it is safe to do so.

Fire Risk. Do not over-re.

Over-ringmayignitecreosoteorwilldamage

the appliance and chimney.

To prevent over-ring your appliance,

DONOT:

• Useammableliquids

• Overloadwithwood

• Burntrashorlargeamountsofscraplumber

• Permittoomuchairtothere

WARNING

Splitting wood before it is stored reduces drying time.

Woodshouldbe stackedsothat bothendsofeachpiece

are exposed to air, since more drying occurs through the

cut ends than the sides. This is true even with wood that

has been split. Store wood under cover, such as in a shed,

or covered with a tarp, plastic, tar paper, sheets of scrap

plywood, etc., as uncovered wood can absorb water from

rain or snow, delaying the seasoning process.

C. Burning Process

In recent years there has been an increasing concern

about air quality. Much of the blame for poor air quality

has been placed on the burning of wood for home heating.

In order to improve the situation, we at Quadra-Fire

have developed cleaner-burning wood appliances that

surpass the requirements for emissions established by our

governingagencies.Thesewoodappliances,likeanyother

appliances, must be properly operated in order to insure

that they perform the way they are designed to perform.

Improper operation can turn most any wood appliance into

a smoldering environmental hazard.

1. Kindling or First Stage: Ithelpstoknowalittleabout

the actual process of burning in order to understand

what goes on inside a appliance. The rst stage of

burning is called the kindling stage. In this stage,

the wood is heated to a temperature high enough to

evaporate the moisture which is present in all wood.

The wood will reach the boiling point of water (212°F)

and will not get any hotter until the water is evaporated.

This process takes heat from the coals and tends to

cool the appliance.

Fire requires three things to burn - fuel, air and heat. So,

if heat is robbed from the appliance during the drying

stage, the new load of wood has reduced the chances

for a good clean burn. For this reason, it is always best

to burn dry, seasoned rewood. When the wood isn’t

dry, you must open the air controls and burn at a high

burn setting for a longer time to start it burning. The

heat generated from the re should be warming your

home and establishing the ue draft, not evaporating

the moisture out of wet, unseasoned wood, resulting in

wasted heat.

2. Second Stage: The next stage of burning, the

secondary stage, is the period when the wood gives off

ammablegaseswhichburnabovethefuelwithbright

ames.Duringthisstageofburningitisveryimportant

that the ames be maintained and not allowed to go

out. This will ensure the cleanest possible re. If the

amestendtogoout,itissettoolowforyourburning

conditions. The air control located at the upper right

hand corner is used to adjust for burn rates. This is

called the BurnRateAirControl (Figure 10.1).

3. Final Stage: Thenalstageofburningisthecharcoal

stage. This occurs when the ammable gases have

been mostly burned and only charcoal remains. This

is a naturally clean portion of the burn. The coals burn

withhotblueames.
