A common indicator of wet wood can be:

  • Soot on the glass of the stove.
  • Fire starts very slowly and produces only small flames.
  • Fire produces a lot of smoke and bad smell.
  • A whistling noise comes from the burning logs.

Using wet wood can lead to:

  • Rust or paint peeling off inside the stove.
  • Rust or paint peeling off on the edges of the door and top plate.
  • Rust or paint peeling off on air vents.
  • Damage to gaskets and pipe.

IMPORTANT: To ensure that your stove will work perfectly, you must use firewood with a moisture level below 18%.
