Routine Maintenance for Longevity
A well-maintained stove operates more efficiently and lasts significantly longer than a neglected one.
Ash Removal Protocols
- Remove ash daily to prevent it from smothering the fire bed.
- Ensure the grate is clear of debris before adding new fuel.
- Use a metal scoop to avoid damaging the firebox floor.
Baffle Inspection
- The baffle redirects heat back into the firebox for better efficiency.
- Check for cracks or gaps that allow smoke to escape.
- Replace a damaged baffle to restore secondary combustion efficiency.
Regular cleaning prevents creosote buildup and structural damage.
