Lacunza Fireplace

Looking after your Lacunza Fireplace

Maintenance

All wood burning stoves need a little maintenance to function optimally. It is important to do this regularly and the best time to do this is after the winter season. Here’s how with Lacunza.

During a service, seals will need to be checked or replaced. Air leaks can significantly impair the combustion process. Firebricks and flue pipes are inspected and swept.

The glass of the closed combustion units is fireproof and depending on the model, can be very expensive. Be sure to look after this, but in the unfortunate event of breakage, this is an item covered by your household insurance and can be claimed for through most reputable insurance companies.

Importance of DRY WOOD

If you are planning on purchasing a wood burner, get your fire wood now! Dry wood is the most important element of running your fireplace efficiently and safely.

Wet wood over time creates a creosote build-up in your flue pipe that can cause a fire. Wet wood will also burn your glass black and cause smoke. The heat output of your unit will also be affected, and you will not enjoy the full efficiency of your wood burner.

Black Wattle is a popular choice for firewood in South Africa due to its excellent burning properties. It is a medium-hardwood that burns relatively quickly and produces a bright and lively flame.

We recommend Black Wattle & Bluegum as the preferred options. Both are alien tree species in South Africa – and there is plenty available. The secret for your closed combustion fireplace is DRY, CURED wood with less than 15% moisture (ideally) in the wood
