described above - and then start "pellet mode" afterwards. If it is impossible to establish a sufficiently natural
chimney draft, the chimney can be fitted with a smoke exhauster, e.g. Aduro DraftOptimizer.
4.2 Chimney and Smoke
If you experience smoke coming out of the stove or the start section of the smoke pipe, it could be due to
certain weather conditions. On stormy or cold winter days or if the chimney has not been used in a while, a
cold plug can be created in the chimney, meaning the natural draft will be at its minimum.
If the chimney is cold and cold plugs are created, you may experience smoke leaks during the ignition and
startup phase. In this situation there can be more smoke than usually in the combustion chamber and some
of it might leak out of the stove. Therefore, if you have a cold chimney that has not been used for a while, we
recommend that you use some wood sticks to heat the chimney and eliminate the cold plug before turning
the pellet function on.
4.3 Draft and pellet combustion
The pellet combustion is affected by the draft in the chimney. If necessary, it is important to reduce or
improve the draft with a damper in the chimney or with a smoke exhauster, e.g. Aduro DraftOptimizer, if the
draft is too high or insufficient.
You can connect Aduro DraftOptimizer to Aduro H1 and control it automatically to ensure optimum draft. For
further information, go to www.adurofire.com.
Aduro Hybrid has certain standard settings when it comes to the speed of the auger and the fan, and in order
to achieve the most efficient / clean pellet combustion, it may sometimes be necessary for the user to adjust
these settings to customize the stove to their own installation such as chimney, smoke pipe, external factors
from the outside etc. If you're interested in knowing more about the app's features/functions, calibration, and
various FAQ's, then you can read more about it on our website www.adurofire.com.
