Safety

These are crucial to ensure the smooth operation of your log burner and to ensure that it is not a fire hazard. For instance, it's recommended to put an appliance guard around the stove, especially if have children. It is also essential to never operate a stove if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These substances can hinder your coordination and concentration, which could lead to an accident.

When lighting a new fire in your multi fuel stove it is essential to open the vents for air to the maximum extent possible to allow as much oxygen as possible into the flames. This will increase the amount of heat produced and help the fire catch on more quickly. Once the fire has caught alight, however, the air vents should be closed down to restrict the flow of oxygen and stop the flames from igniting the combustible materials inside the fireplace.

Depending on the type of fuel you are using, you might need to adjust your vents when you are burning. Wood requires constant supply of air in order to burn efficiently, while coal needs less. It is also necessary to control the temperature of the stove, as a high operating temperature could cause damage to the stove by generating creosote.

They can be put in behind your stove, and reduce the distance between combustible materials and the stove to 150mm on the sides, and the rear and 225mm in the front. This will ensure that your stove is safe to use and also meet building regulations and manufacturer recommendations.
