Burley wood burning stoves provide a wonderfully warm and cosy environment. They are designed to burn timber products such as logs and briquettes. Coke and coal should not be burnt in these appliances neither should painted or composite timber or rubbish.
The stoves are very heavy. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding installation and use. Although the minimum thickness required for the hearth is 12mm or half an inch, a thicker base should be considered because of the weight of the unit. An extended base is available as a separate component for free-standing appliances. This means there is somewhere to store firewood.
The surface on which the stove stands must be non-combustible. Many hearths crack easily because of the weight of an appliance. The base must be perfectly level. It is advisable to avoid marble or conglomerate materials. Sectional slabs are one option. These will allow for expansion. If a section cracks or breaks, replacement will be easier and cheaper.
If a stove is fitted against an outside wall, air for the unit will be drawn in from outside. Otherwise, an air vent is installed in the room. If placed near combustible materials such as stud walls, a minimum distance is required. These requirements are laid out in the specifications which are supplied with the appliance.
To prevent the chimney clogging with tar and thus working less efficiently, the fire should be allowed to burn quite strongly for half an hour or so. It can then be turned down. Dry firewood only should be burnt. It is recommended that a small amount of ash be left in the combustion chamber.
Safety suggestions by the manufacturer include keeping all air vents open, placing guards around units and keeping flammable materials away from the immediate vicinity of the appliance. The stove should always be run with the door closed. For best results, fuel should be added little and often. Burley wood burning stoves are an efficient way to warm a room.
