Before you start using your small multi-fuel stove, there are a few things which are useful to bear in mind:
When you go to light your stove for the first couple of times, it's best if you try to keep the fires small. This will allow the paint to cure before you start making larger fires in your tiny wood burner.
It's worth noting that the air control settings, lighting methods and the firing intervals will vary depending on the chimney draught, the wind direction, climatic conditions, the heating requirements and the fuel being used. Therefore, it may take a while before you are completely familiar with how to operate your stove correctly under various conditions.
Although you can burn almost any type of wood in your Hobbit stove or Little Range, you should not use wet or green wood. Wood should be stored under cover for at least 1 year, (preferably 2 years) and it should also be exposed to the air. Wood should be chopped as soon as possible after felling if it is to dry quickly.
You should only use wood with a maximum moisture content of 20%. You can use a moisture meter to ensure your wood is of the correct moisture content.
Never burn driftwood in your small stove as it has a high salt content. This will damage both the stove and the chimney. You should also never burn impregnated wood, laminate or chipboard, as these materials may emit poisonous gases and fumes when burnt.
Logs with a diameter exceeding 100mm should always be split. Your logs should also be short enough to lie flat over the layers of embers, with a minimum 1″ air gap at either end.
The most environmentally friendly way to ignite a fire is the  “top-down” lighting method. This is done by kindling the fire relatively high in the pile of firewood placed in the burn chamber. This way, the gasses burn gradually as the fire works its way down and catches on.
