WOOD FUEL IMPORTANT: Never use toxic wood such as chipboard, impregnated, painted wood or pre-sawn wood such as pallets. Good quality wood is the most important factor in your stove working efficiently and cleanly. Always use dry firewood. The dryness of the firewood plays an important role since the use of wet wood results in poor fuel economy and may cause a tarry sooty film on the internals of the stove. Newly cut wood contains 60–70% water, making it totally unsuitable for use as firewood.
