Burning wood
After you have followed the instructions for lighting:
1. Slowly open the door of the appliance.
2. Spread the charcoal evenly across the bottom of
the stove base.
3. Stack a few logs on the charcoal.
Open stacking
If the logs are stacked openly, the wood will burn
quickly as the oxygen can reach each log easily. If
you want to use the stove for a short while, make an
open stack.
Subject to change because of technical improvements
Compact stacking
If the logs are stacked tightly, the wood will burn more
slowly as the oxygen can only reach some logs eas-
ily. If you want to burn wood for a longer period, make
a compact stack.
4. Close the door of the appliance.
5. Close the primary air inlet and leave the secondary
air inlet open.
