TOP TIPS
-
Only burn dry seasoned wood.
-
The quickest way to get instant heat from your fire is to light some dry kindling wood first, then put your logs on but do follow your stove manufacturer’s guidelines.
-
Hardwood logs keep your fire going for longer than softwood.
-
Only add more logs to a lit fire when it has burnt down to embers. Piling logs into a log burning stove reduces its efficiency.
-
Keep your logs dry when stored. If they get damp during delivery then let them dry for a few days prior to burning.
-
Have a professionally fitted stove.
-
Sweep your chimney at least once a year.
-
For your safety, install a carbon monoxide detector.
-
Never burn rubbish, plastics, glossy paper, painted/treated wood or polystyrene.
