Storage of Wood
The best storage of the wood is under roof though still with good airing, for
instance in a car port or under a shed roof. Preferably put your wood on a
wooden pallet or similar, clear of the earth. Fresh wood, sawn and chopped,
should preferably be left in this manner for one or two years depending on the
species of wood.
Items available in stove

Operating Trouble
In case of any operating trouble with your Lotus stove, you may find the cause
of that below. If not, please do not hesitate to contact your Lotus distributor.
Stove hard to control – burning too quickly
For a new installation, read the directions for use, and follow items 3 and 4 on
register setting and flame picture.
If your stove has been used for some considerable time or has been exposed to
specially heavy heating, the packings should be changed. If the packings are on
for too long, the heat will cause the packings to lose their capability of keeping
your stove tight.
Stove drawing badly after installation
Check that the mounting instructions have been followed. In particular,
conditions around the chimney may cause trouble. Are the diameter and the
length OK, is it tight, are the flue pipes and the transitions tight? A chimney
sweep may have to be contacted to remedy the problem as the chimney may be
clogged.
Smelling of Smoke and Soot
This may be due to wind down draught in the chimney and will mostly occur in
certain wind directions. The chimney may be too short in relation to the roof
ridge, or trees may have grown up and may be causing turbulence.
Your stove is hard to make burn and may go out
There may be a number of reasons for this. The most typical ones are
The register is not open enough.
The chimney draught is too small; it may be clogged or leaky.
The wood is too wet.
