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%.
