Tiny Wood Stove Operation

---

This article will provide valuable insights and suggestions for effectively operating your tiny wood stove. By following these tips, you can maximize heat output and burn time from your stove, all while promoting a cleaner and more efficient burn.

Seasoned wood and briquettes

It’s crucial to use only dry and seasoned firewood or fire briquettes in your wood stove. Avoid burning any other types of fuel to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Any sort of pressed log with added chemical should be avoided as they can produce so much heat if not used correctly that they can turn any wood stove bright red from over heating.

Dry and seasoned wood will provide a cleaner and more efficient burn over non-seasoned wood. Burning non seasoned wood will result in a dirty stovepipe and possible fire.

Stovepipe Thermometers 

A stovepipe thermometer is a handy tool to have  for a couple of reasons:

It will tell you if you are burning too cold which will create creosote build up in your chimney/stovepipe, or too hot which can damage parts of the tiny wood stove.

It is also an easy way of knowing what’s going on with your fire, if the temperature reads low, the primary air should be opened a bit, if it reads hot, then the primary air control should be pushed in.
