R 3100-I ACT WOOD INSERT OPERATION WOOD SELECTION AND STORAGE Burn only dry seasoned wood. Dry, well-seasoned wood will not only minimize the chance of creosote formation but will give you the most efficient heat output.

Burning unseasoned wood of any variety defeats the stoves’ efficiency. Dead wood lying on the forest floor should b
