heating is usually achieved by burning natural gas, fuel oil, or propane. The combustion
process, including the fuel supply, can be mechanically controlled. This is not the case with
solid fuel. Solid fuel burning is very unpredictable as there are many variables affecting the combustion
process. Adding fuel is a manual operation. The amount of wood added depends on the individual
operating the system. Also, the requirement for combustion air changes during the burning of a load of
wood. Thus the temperature of the wood fire system varies considerably. Burning solid fuel is relatively
dirty, compared to liquid fuels, with the buildup of ash and residue. Importantly, there are very limited
automatic safety devices. If the firebox temperature reaches an unsafe temperature do to over firing,
there is no means to just “turn off” the flame; as a result, controlling a wood fire takes more knowledge
and care than most liquid fuel burning processes. A homeowner must understand they are basically
burning a fire in the middle of their home. It is both prudent and wise for the homeowner to ensure the
fire can be restricted (limit combustion air) and under control (do not allow over firing) in order to enjoy
a safe warm fire to provide maximum heat energy in the home without endangering the surroundings or
process. Adding fuel is a manual operation. The amount of wood added depends on the individual
