Stoves & Firelogs......

    Arrived home from work and no wood left to burn :( All I have are a few firelogs. The packaging says they aren't to be used in closed appliances. So anyway, I broke one in half and put it in the stove to burn.

    I am I right in assuming that my stove is vented as it has a spin valve and a flue? It's burning away nicely at the moment. Not much heat yet but it's only been lighting 15 mins.

    What determines a 'closed appliance'? Nothing will burn for long without oxygen so I'm a bit confused........maybe I'm confusing 'closed' with 'sealed'.

    Maybe someone can enlighten me?

    Cheers - thanks.

    Anyway, I burnt two firelogs with no problem - I did keep the valve screwed in to restrict air and burnt the firelogs one half at a time. If the valve is opened to allow for full air flow the flames literally roared to life.
