Care & maintenance

• Use seasoned hardwood and avoid wet or green timber to reduce creosote and soot buildup.
• Regularly empty the ash pan and check the riddling grate for blockages.
• Inspect and sweep the flue annually (or more often if used heavily) and follow manufacturer service recommendations.
