• What fuel is suitable for Saltfire stoves?

  Saltfire stoves work best with well-seasoned, untreated wood logs with a moisture content between 12% and 20%. Multi-fuel models can also burn suitable smokeless coals (anthracite). Never use liquid fuels, petro-coke, or bituminous coal.

• How do I cure the paint on my new Saltfire stove?

  The high-temperature paint requires a tempering process. For the first few fires, burn small kindling loads for 15-20 minutes and allow the stove to cool significantly between burns. This prevents damage to the paint surface.

• Is my Saltfire stove DEFRA exempt?

  Most Saltfire models, including the Scout, ST-X series, and CS series, are DEFRA exempt and EcoDesign 2022 Ready, making them suitable for burning wood in designated Smoke Control Areas.

• What are the minimum clearances for installation?

  Clearances vary by model. For example, the Scout requires 100mm to combustible back walls closer with the included heat shield, while different models like the Linx may require 250mm to sides. Always refer to your specific user manual and building regulations.
