According to AS/NZS 2918:2001, the minimum distance to a Woodsman freestanding wood burner with a heat shield depends on the heat shield construction:
- Single 12 mm continuous material with air gap: clearance factor is 0.4 - Single 25 mm continuous material with air gap: clearance factor is 0.3 - Two spaced layers of 12 mm continuous material with air gap: clearance factor is 0.2
To find the minimum distance, multiply the unshielded clearance by the relevant clearance factor. The specific unshielded clearance is not provided in the context, so the exact minimum distance cannot be calculated.

By following this simple method of low burn firing, you will achieve very low emission rates and obtain the high efficiency burn that is associated with the Woodsman product. The fuel approved for use in Clean Air Zones in this appliance is wood with a moisture content of less than 25% of dry weight.
Operating Instructions Multi-fuels Your Woodsman Multi-fuel will operate perfectly well burning coal, wood, briquettes or a mixture of any of these. Often the hottest temperatures are achieved by burning a mix- ture of wood with coal laid over the top.
Cleaning the Outside of the Fire Woodsman fires are finished in a high temperature paint. Only use a damp cloth (no chemicals) when cleaning the outside of the fire. If any scratches occur, you can easily touch up the fire with an aerosol can of matching paint.
(AIR-12450) (2119) The air tube in your Woodsman fire is an integral part of the appliance and helps ensure a clean, efficient and controllable burn. However, air tubes are a consumable item and are designed to be replaced as they are likely to degrade with use due to the exposure to the extreme heat of the fire.
(FI-12295) (2137) The baffle in your Woodsman fire is an integral part of the appliance and helps ensure a clean, efficient and controllable burn. However, baffles are a consumable item and are designed to be replaced as they are likely to degrade with use due to the exposure to the extreme heat of the fire.
Tarras (MKI) Tarras MKII The fire bricks in your Woodsman fire are an integral part of the appliance and helps ensure a clean and efficient burn. However, fire bricks are a consumable item and are designed to be replaced as they are likely to degrade with use due to the exposure to the extreme heat of the fire.
Useful Tips Get the most out of your Woodsman Tips for lighting the fire Use finely cut, dry kindling wood. Firelighter cubes or gel work best when ensuring ignition of the kindling. Cross stack kindling over and around fire lighter like a small tower.
The baffle may not be in place correctly, visually check to see if it has moved. You may need a cowl like the Woodsman Columbia cowl to help encourage draw, espe- cially where there are environmental problems like high winds.
10 Year Firebox Warranty - Multi-Fuels 1 Year Parts Warranty - All Fires Your WOODSMAN fire is warranted for a period of 1 year to the original purchaser, from the date of purchase, against defective materials and workmanship which includes the firebox and all parts.
