Overnight slumbering / closing the air down on my stove saves fuel and money
Exactly the opposite is true. Slumbering wastes large amounts of fuel . It also clogs up the chimney and makes a damaging chimney fire more likely. It creates lots of unnecessary air pollution.
The glass on my stove goes should not go black and sooty
Blackened glass usually means you are not burning the wood hot enough. Ask your local professional sweep to show you how to control your stove.
I get more heat with the stove door open
If the door is open then the burning temperature actually drops. The combustion is not as efficient and unburned fuel vapours are now lost to the chimney.
The shape and size of logs make a difference to heat given off
All types of wood give about the same heat energy per kilo but shape and size will make a difference. Logs that are 5-6 inches / 125 – 150mm wide will give the best results.
