Wood burner vents open or closed? We explain how to use log burner vents
Briefly

"In order to burn, fuel needs the oxygen that's contained in air - and a stove needs vents to introduce that air in a controlled fashion," says James Verlaque, Technical Manager at the Stove Industry Association (SIA). This highlights the essential role of air vents in ensuring efficient combustion and maintaining a consistent fire.
"A modern, eco-designed stove controls the amount of air that comes into the combustion box in different ways," says the SIA's James Verlaque. This illustrates how advanced stoves can optimize airflow to enhance combustion efficiency.
The primary vent is at the bottom of the stove. It is the main source of airflow to the combustion box, providing oxygen to the fuel from underneath. Understanding the specific functions of these vents can drastically improve the user experience and energy efficiency.
Most log burners have two or three vents, each of which has a distinct role. This emphasizes the importance of mastering how each vent operates for effective fire management.
