Hearthstone wood stoves are a durable, sturdy and popular brand of wood stove. They burn wood evenly and distribute heat throughout a room well. Unlike electric heating living flame lookalikes, these wood stoves use real wood to heat your home.
Hearthstone offer a wide range of wood stove models, including Equinox 8000, Mansfield 8012, Heritage 8021, Phoenix 8612 and many more. Each of these are good quality wood stoves that will last you a lifetime, if you look after them, of course.
So, it is important to know how to maintain Hearthstone wood stoves and also what types of wood or materials you can burn in them. In this article, we will discuss the materials that you really should not try to use as fuel for Hearthstone wood stoves.
BioBricks
BioBricks can’t be burned in Hearthstone wood stoves because these stoves are made for natural wood only. Man-made products such as BioBricks can burn too quickly and too hot, causing your wood stove to overheat.
Coal
Coal can’t be burned in Hearthstone wood stoves because it burns at very high temperatures. Additionally, coal forms clinker as it burns, which will clog up the grate with ash and fill up the firebox. Also, as coal burns, it releases sulphur compounds, which will damage the ceramic glass on your Hearthstone wood stove.
Cord Wood, Corn, or Grass Pellets
These types of materials shouldn’t be burned in your Hearthstone wood stove. The wood stoves were designed to burn only premium grade wood pellets made from softwood or hardwood trees. Using cord wood in the wood stove is dangerous because it may cause a fire which is uncontrollable. Corn and grass pellets produce a lot of ash and residue, and should also be avoided.
