There is not enough DRAUGHT in the chimney. What can I do?

If the chimney is too short, has inadequate insulation or is leaky, there may be problems; get a chimney sweep to check it and measure the flue draft. If the above possible problems have been eliminated, extend the lighting period, to ensure the chimney is well heated. The draw on the chimney will be greater when it is hot. This is achieved by using lots of kindling and 1-2 firelighters. After igniting the firelighters leave the stove door slightly ajar about 2 to 3cm for 5 to 10 minutes. When the majority of flame have died down and there is a good amount of glowing embers add 2-3 pieces of dry wood and keep the air supply open. On chimneys with slower flue drafts it may be necessary to leave the stove door slightly ajar again until the logs fully ignite. Once a good flame has been established and the door closed the air control can be set to the desired position. If you have an old brick chimney with a large inner diameter, it can be a good idea to reduce the area with a liner. Seek the help by your local Morsø Dealer or chimney sweep.
