WOOD BURNING STOVE
Our Wood Burning stove is as warming as it is romantic.
During our tour, we acquaint guests with the use of our wood burning stove. Watch the video above and read the instructions below. If you have any questions please call us at the number listed in the house manual. The Vermont Soapstone Wood Burning Stove is 100% safe to use while you are sleeping or if you leave for the day. These stoves are meant to stay on 24/7 and many people use these as their sole source of heat. We encourage our guests to enjoy the warmth and the ambiance that these stoves create. We also have 7 thermostats located throughout the house as well.
NOTES
- Hardwood for the Wood Burning Stove has been made available for your use. The hardwood is located in the entrance way and under the car port on the wall against the house
- Nothing other than hardwood, twigs and uncoated paper can be used in the stove
- Only use the door on the left hand side of the stove for loading and lighting
- Never leave the front or side door open during use. Embers can shoot out
- Do not place anything on the stove
- Children should not be allowed close to the stove
- Never use any accelerant in the stove
- Do not use Duraflame or similar type logs in the stove
- Depending on how much air is let in will determine on how fast the wood burns. The stove may need to be fed every two-three hours.
- Ultimately you want a nice base of hot coals that will continue to produce a lot of heat.
AT NIGHT
- Close and secure all doors including the ash door at the bottom
- Use the air control located on the front, bottom left hand side to reduce the amount of air. This will allow the embers to burn slower and produce heat.
- Make sure the water bear at the top of the stove is filled. This will replace the humidity that the hot flames remove from the air. The humidity keeps the home warmer.
