Wood Burning Kit

Mike Dormer 12 years ago

We've had this stove for about 3 years and it works fine. As we burn wood all the time I've decided to buy a wood burning kit. Are there any fitting issues? Can I simply burn logs directly on the bottom of the stove or do I need to insert a firebrick? Also what do I do with the existing firebricks and how does the airwash system work with the griddle removed?

Stove expert replied: I am sure there will instructions. The liners will still be required to protect the stove body. Go back to the supplier for more assistance.
