Whenever adding fuel to the hopper, take the time and

heat resistant gloves, open the firebox door. Scrape any
accumulated ashes from in front of the fire, into the ash pan.
Now, scrape under the fire, in a downward direction, to loosen
any carbon deposits. Do not scrape the fire out of the pot.
Whatever you loosen will be pushed out with the flow of new
fuel into the pot. (Fig.33)

been burned, it will be necessary to empty the ash pan.

Whenever wood is burned, there is a potential for creosote
formation. The venting system should be inspected
periodically during the heating season to determine if a
creosote buildup has occurred. If a significant layer of
creosote has accumulated (3 mm or more), it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney or venting system
fire.
