D. Combustible/Non-combustible Materials

• Combustible Material - Material made of or surfaced

withwood,compressed paper,plant bers, plastics,or

any material capable of igniting and burning, whether

ame-proofedornot,plasteredornon-plastered.

• Non-combustible Material - Material which will not

ignite and burn. Such materials are those consisting

entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, slate, glass or plasters,

or any combination thereof.

• Non-combustible Sealant Material - Sealants which

will not ignite and burn: Rutland, Inc. Fireplace Mortar

#63, Rutland 76R, Nuex 304, GE RTV106 or GE

RTB116 (or equivalent).

E. Seasoned Wood

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e󰀩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.

Hearth&HomeTechnologiesWILLNOTwarrantystoves

that exhibit evidence of over-ring. Evidence of over-

ringincludes,butisnotlimitedto:

• Warpedairtube

• Deteriorated refractory brick retainers

• Deterioratedba󰀪eandotherinteriorcomponents

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stoveuntilthechimneyprofessional

informs you it is safe to do so.

NOTICE: Improper operation can turn any wood

appliance into a smoldering environmental hazard.

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.

F. 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VermontCastings

have developed cleaner-burning wood appliances that

surpass the requirements for emissions established by

our governing agencies. These wood appliances must be

properly operated in order to ensure that they perform the

way they are designed to perform.

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.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o󰀨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.
