Before Using the Stove

2. The black part inside the clay stove is refractory clay. It is added to the stove after firing out of the kiln, it has not been fired. So the new stove refractory clay is easier to loosen. In transit, some individual can shock a crack out. Use some water to wet the clay and wipe, then the crack will be gone; Even if you do not deal with this crack, it does not affect the use of the stove.

4. After successfully setting fire, it is best to put it in the open space.
