Nowadays with all the emphasis and awareness on the effects of carbon emissions on the environment, more people are doing something about it.
This has included the use of hunter stoves, since they have been found to significantly reduce the carbon emissions.
Nevertheless, it is important that one understands fully how it works, and before installing it into their homes, one should consult an engineer to certify that all is well.
There are different fuels one can use, but what is important is that instructions are followed and adhered to.
One thing that most people take for granted when using hunter stoves is the fact that they ought to be placed in a free space.
This is to say that experts recommend that clearance of about 150 mm on either side of the stove, and 50 mm from the wall.
Also, the hearth may be extended 300 mm in front of the appliance.
The worst thing you can do to this appliance is to use wood that is wet and not well seasoned.
This is going to make the chimney black with soot, besides reducing the output of heat.
Basically, the wood used to burn ought to contain not more than 20 % of moisture.
However, even when using dry wood, soot is likely to form on the chimney with time, but this can be cleaned.
Usually, one can sweep the chimney by fitting a damper.
There is one thing that every one ought to know about hunter stoves, and that is one should never run a boiler if the appliance is disconnected.
If one made the mistake of firing the appliance while the boiler is disconnected or just empty, the appliance is likely to get serious damages.
So take all the necessary precautions and this appliance will serve you well.
