WARNING Fire Risk Do not over-fire. Over-firing may ignite creosote or will damage the stove and chimney.
R 3100 Wood Stove Series (ACC) 2. Second Stage The next stage of burning, the secondary stage, is the period when the wood gives off flammable gases which burn above the fuel with bright flames. During this stage of burning it is very important that the flames be maintained and not allowed to go out. This will ensure the cleanest possible fire. If the flames tend to go out, it is set too low for your burning conditions.
