1. Bring air in to the room close to the fire The ideal position is just to the sides of the fireplace opening as shown It can be split and brought up in two positions if required one each side of the fireplace opening DO NOT set a ventilation grille in the hearth immediately in front of the fire The cold air entering the room will form a cold curtain in front of the fire and may destroy the convection of warm air around the room DO NOT place an air supply inlet across the room from the fire The draught of cold air crossing the room will scour the room of warm air and the overall heating effect of the fire will be reduced DO NOT set a ventilation grille in a position where they may become liable to blockage Where possible draw air from two walls at right angles and duct to a mixing chamber beneath the floor before it enters the room This will reduce the influence of strong winds on the supply of air Where an existing floor is solid vents may have to be provided through the walls in a manner which achieves conditions as close as possible to the above perhaps by the use of ducting or of false skirting Where there is a suspended floor over a well ventilated under floor space it may be sufficient just to set ventilation openings through the floorboards adjacent to the chimney breast Older houses with the possibility of draughts entering around doors and windows will still profit from the provision of a separate a2.

6. Wood Wood has about half the calorific value of coal on a weight for weight basis Green wood has a high moisture content which makes it difficult to burn and reduces net heat output Buying a load of green firewood means you may have been buying as much water as you are wood When wood is burned the water content is converted into steam The large amount of heat necessary to do this accounts for the reduction in useful heat Air drying or seasoning reduces moisture content thus making it easier to burn Where green wood must be burned first build to a strong heat to ensure that enough excess heat is produced to dispose of the moisture The readiness of wood to burn depends on the density and the size of each piece Denser hardwoods are generally better than softwoods such as pine which when dry burn fast and split A split log will catch and burn better than a full round log Only well seasoned wood should be used This also helps to burn off more of the tars and to reduce the build up of tar deposits The fire burning rate can thus be controlled by the amount of fuel that is used the size of fuel and the refuelling interval Kindling wood will burn fast split logs at a medium rate and whole logs a little slower So by mixing the sizes that are burnt and used in conjunction with the throat restrictor the fire rate of burn and hence output can be controlled Any of the dense hardwoods are recommended such as Birch Beech Hornbea

8. Basket Grates Use the basket grate for burning solid mineral fuels and smokeless fuels Wood can be burned in the basket grate but will burn away quickly and therefore is less effective Ash Removal The removable ash pan simply slides out from under the grate for easy emptying Do not allow ash to build up in the ash pan until the grate bars are covered as this seriously reduces the life of the grate See Fitting the Basket in the Installation section of this booklet 20 Lighting with Basket Grate When lighting the fire the throat restrictor should be opened fully by pulling the operating lever foreword When using solid mineral fuel or smokeless fuel place the fuel around the edge of the basket forming a circle or two circles Leave a well in the centre of each circle Start the fire in this well using proprietary firelighters and or kindling wood Then gradually bring the fuel in over the fire lighters kindling See sections on Use of the Throat Restrictor and Fuels below Use of the Throat Restrictor The throat restrictor serves two purposes It reduces the amount of air drawn up the chimney to the minimum necessary to keep the fire burning well and to carry away the smoke It also has an effect upon the burning rate of the fire The degree of control exercised by the throat restrictor is dependent on the draw of the chimney When lighting the fire the throat restrictor should be opened fully by pulling the operating lever foreword O
