Figure 1 provides a good overview of quantity of the materials you will need. Heating the stove in between seasons, when the outside temperatures are higher, the flue gases may not be able to escape completely and this may lead to disturbances in the chimney draught, especially if the temperatures are rising suddenly. The stove has to be charged with less wood and the primary air has to be increased so that the wood can burn down faster (with visible flames) and thus the chimney flue can stabilize.
