Burning Wood for Heat is Not Bad

“The message we’re trying to send isn’t that burning wood is bad, but that it can be done cleanly,” he said. “First and foremost, we ask people to make sure they’re burning dry, seasoned wood, not ‘green’ wood.”

Another way to help fix the problem is by encouraging residents to upgrade their old wood stoves, Scott said.

“The new ones are more efficient and burn more cleanly,” he said. “Plus you get the full BTU (British Thermal Unit) value of the wood, which means you burn less.”

How To Light Your Jotul Wood Stove in Three Easy Steps

Igniting a fire in your Jotul wood stove is a simple procedure. You just need the right materials close at hand and a rough idea of the layering technique. Follow these three easy steps and look forward to cozy flames.

Step 1 – Set up papers, kindling and two pieces of well seasoned firewood cut to a 2-inch diameter inside the firebox. Bunched paper goes on the bottom, with kindling stacked on top and the firewood laid across to weigh everything down. Leave space for air flow and ensure all materials are completely dry.

Step 2 – Open the draft vent completely. This allows maximum draw, which will help the flames ignite faster. Light the fire.

Step 3 – Leave the vent open until the firewood has burned for a few minutes. Then add a few larger pieces of firewood. Once those larger pieces are burning well, you can adjust the vents to the desired opening. Your fire should burn well for hours, with firewood added as needed.

A wood stove will dependably heat your house with very little work. Simply use these three easy steps to light your Jotul wood stove and comfort will follow.

Use a Jotul F3 CB Wood Stove For Alcove Configurations

Installing a wood stove into an alcove can be tricky. But this type of configuration can help you utilize the space and heat your home with sustainable, affordable firewood. The Jotul F3 CB wood stove is approved for installation in an alcove, and offers the ideal amount of heat for smaller spaces.

This model is only 19″ deep at the bottom (the main firebox is 13″ deep) and measures just under 23″ across. It can fit logs up to 18″ long, and delivers a maximum of 42,000 BTUs of heat. A rear heatshield is required in alcove configurations, as is floor protection using non-combustible materials.

Alcove installation allows you the pleasure of a wood stove without losing any valuable floor space in your room. The Jotul F3 CB wood stove is one of the smallest quality cast iron stoves available, and fits perfectly into almost any alcove. Ask about this configuration at your local stove shop.

Will the Jotul F 118 Black Bear Wood Stove Be Big Enough For My Home?

The Jotul F 118 Black Bear wood stove presents a striking appearance – from the long, narrow body to the Norwegian-inscribed plate on the front. But the stats claim this compact wood stove offers up to 60,000 BTUs of heat and can warm a home as large as 1,800 square feet. Can old world charm and modern technology really combine well enough to heat a space that big?

The Black Bear wood stove features a “cigar-burn.” That means the design allows for coals to remain hot for a long period of time. And although those coals will not produce much heat, they do make relighting the fire simple and fast. Burn time for the Black Bear stands around 8 hours, and this stove can realistically fit logs about 20″ in length.

Consumers using the Jotul F 118 Black Bear in their home report consistently smooth operation. But some suggest that when temperatures dip way down, well below freezing, the Black Bear has a hard time pumping out the same level of heat. That issue is true for any wood stove. If you’re looking to heat a reasonably sized space, and appreciate the look and features of the Jotul Black Bear wood stove, this model will certainly fit the bill. You may need to reload often or bundle up a bit tighter when severe temperatures hit, but this wood stove does offers reliable heat for your average-sized living space.
