The Luminarium Outdoor Hearth was designed and built strictly for use with Fire Designs Hearth Fuel. Burning anything other than Hearth Fuel could cause damage to the unit or your property and would void the warranty.

Unburned fuel will evaporate over time. Keep the damper system closed and the cover on to minimize the evaporation rate.

Once the chamber has cooled, approximately 10 minutes, additional Hearth Fuel can be added to the chamber.

A case of fuel has an MSRP of $36.00. Depending upon the size of the flame you have, the cost is between $1.50 and $2.25 per hour of burn time.

Hearth Fuel is environmentally responsible by using ethanol— a clean burning, renewable fuel source. When ethanol is burned, it produces no smoke and little soot, making it an ideal fuel for fireplace applications. As Hearth Fuel produces no visible emissions, it may be available for use in communities with burn regulations and related fuel emission restrictions. Also, as ethanol is produced from corn, farmers have another domestic use for their product.

Hearth Fuel is water-soluble. Rinse the affected area promptly with soap and water. Clothes may be laundered as normal.

A9. Our old boat " Seas the Day " was a single engine 8,000 pound boat that went about 25 knots. It burned about 15 gallons an hour at this cruising speed. Bigger dual engine boats range 20-40 gallons an hour. The Nordhavn 43 is about 55,000 pounds. Yet because of its design and slower speed, it consumes only about 2.5 gallons per hour. Slowing down burns as little as 1.8, speeding up can burn 3+. Said another way, we get about 2.5 to 3.

We recommend removing any unburned fuel from the chamber before moving or transporting the Luminarium to prevent accidental spillage.

It is normal for a small amount of residue to form after each burn. Over time, you will want to remove this by wiping with a paper towel or using a spatula type utensil. If desired, aluminum foil may be used as a liner in the bottom of the chamber to eliminate clean up. After multiple burns, remove the foil liner and dispose of properly, adding new foil.

The two Authorities (Building Regulations and CORGI) who make judgements on what is, and what is not legal, differ slightly in their views. So quite simply we cannot give you a definitive answer. You must check with the CORGI registered installer who will fit your Fireplace. Hearths used to be mandatory when coal was burned because a spillage could cause a serious fire. Gas units are less likely to cause this problem but the Law correctly intends to protect the young, elderly or infirm.

They can burn one or the other, but not both. You need to be sure the gas hearth applicance you have is set up for the type of gas fuel you intend to burn. Conversion kits are available which will allow a unit to be changed to match the proper fuel type.

Yes, providing your model has a standing pilot light or our patented IPI System, which works on a battery back up of 2 D cell batteries. If you have a fan or a remote control option, they will not work without power, but the appliance itself will burn and provide heat. (If you have a remote control, you may need to operate the appliance with the ON/Off switch in the control area of the appliance).

Yes! The big difference is that wet fuel may take 80% more air than dry fuel. Operationally, you may wish to meter the wet and dry fuel to create a consistent fuel blend or you may want to exhaust the least merchantable fuel before using a more valuable fuel. With the controls designed for this scenario, this can easily be accomplished. In general, any time there are continuous variations in fuel quality, it is desirable to have an operator near by the steam plant.

Both will burn less at slower speeds and Moonglow will use more fuel (as all boats do) at higher speeds. Both vessels are powered by diesel engines.

The hyperbaric chamber is a steel, aluminum, or clear plastic room in which air can be compressed to a pressure that is greater than sea level. Most patients are treated at a pressure equivalent to two or two and a half times normal atmospheric pressure. Chambers can have port holes (small windows) or be made out of a special thick strong plastic shell. They can be equipped with comfortable reclining chairs or stretch out to a completely flat position.

Some people paint them matt black to make a feature of the hearth and the fire breast. This looks nice with a stripped pine floor. If the concrete is cracked and broken we can fix this using floor levelling compound. The cost is usually ?50.00.

oil - also referred to as Bunker C. To atomize (see next question) properly, the fuel must be kept hot, so steam pipes are routed through the fuel tank in the tender to keep it at 130 degrees F. 1522 did not always burn oil - she was originally built as a coal burner but only stayed that way for a year before being converted. Wood, while burned on real old steam locomotives, does not put out the heat needed to operate larger locomotives like the 1522.

The stove can burn most any fuel: methanol, anhydrous isopropyl alcohol, Coleman white gas, gasoline, kerosine, etc... It has, however, only been tested with methanol and anhydrous isopropyl alcohol. Take appropriate precautions when testing out your stove with new fuels (test outside away from building, etc...). See the disclaimer at the bottom of this page. Methanol can be purchased in at your local hardware store in the paint / solvent section of the store.
