RE-FUELLING
Refuelling onto a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed
to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emis-
sion can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto
a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that
the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable peri-
od. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add
suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
Do not riddle the fire with the spin valve open, fully
open the secondary air control instead. Never over-
load the firebox, maximum 3kgs of wood approx 4
logs. See Fig.8.
When refuelling open the spin valve 5 - 6 turns for
two minutes before refuelling. Add the fuel load,
leave the spin valve at 5 - 6 turns open for 5 minutes
until the fuel load is well alight. The spin valve can
then be closed and secondary air used to control the
heat output.
Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this man-
ual should not be exceeded, overloading can cause
excess smoke.
