Steve Slatter | Wildfire Elm stove, with Annie showing reloading firewood @slatterbench70 | Uploaded March 2014 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Annie demonstrates splitting kiln dried hardwood, and loading the 24" Wildfire Elm stove in the work shop. She shows how to use the log tweezers to drag the remaining hot coals to the front of the firebox, before loading small splits and then larger ones on top. She closes the door and sets the draft control to the open position to allow the draft to pull in plenty of air to get the new pieces to catch. Elm stoves are very easy to use if you follow this procedure.
