8.3 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS / SMOKE DETECTORS & CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS

91.1A

All homes with a solid fuel burning appliance should have at least one  re extinguisher in a central location,

known to all, at least one smoke detector and carbon monoxide (CO) detector in the room containing the

appliance. If the smoke detector sounds an alarm, correct the cause but do not de-activate or relocate the

smoke detector. If the carbon monoxide detector sounds an alarm, immediately vent the area, evacuate and

call your local  re department.

8.4 FUEL LOADING AND BURN CYCLE

92.1A

The bricks will be nearly all white and the glass mostly clear. The whiteness of the bricks and the cleanness of the

glass are good indicators of your operating ef ciency.

Not enough heat is produced when only one or two pieces of wood are burned.

A minimum of three pieces are needed to encase a bed of coals that sustains the  re. Loosely stacked wood burns

quicker than a tightly packed load.

Wood burns in cycles rather than giving a steady output of heat. It is best to plan these cycles around your

household routine so that only enough coals are left to start the next load. In the evening load your appliance at

least a half-hour before bed to ensure the  re is hot enough to close the draft control for an overnight burn.

Burn only dry seasoned wood. It produces more heat and less soot or creosote. Do not burn ocean beach wood. Its

salt content can be corrosive to the metal.
