New to using a wood burning stove. Read the manual, but doesn’t say a whole lot. Wondering if I need the wood grate inside our freestanding stove and are the bricks necessary? I’ve read that bricks are only needed if burning coal, but we are only burning wood. Have read others that contradict this. With the wood grate, the stove doesn’t hold much wood and find that we don’t have a fire by morning. Thank you for any help.
