Fireplace
Firewood is stored in the shed next to the cabin.
Safety First
– Keep all flammable materials at least 1 meter away from the stove
– Use only dry firewood
– Never use gasoline, lighter fluid, or other accelerants
Preparing the Stove
-
Fully open the air vents
-
Place 2–3 fire starters or thin kindling at the bottom
-
Add small pieces of firewood (2–4 cm thick), stacked in a cross pattern
Lighting the Fire
-
Light the fire starters
-
Close the door, but leave it slightly ajar for a few minutes to allow airflow
-
When the fire is burning well (after 5–10 minutes), add larger logs (5–10 cm thick)
Tip:
Top-down lighting — placing larger logs at the bottom and lighting kindling on top — gives a cleaner and more efficient burn.
Adding Firewood
– Wait until the flames are well established
– Open the door slowly to prevent smoke backflow
– Add 1–3 logs at a time
– Do not overfill the stove
Extinguishing the Fire
– Allow the wood to burn down naturally
– Do not use water — this can damage the stove
– Close the air vents when only embers remain
