HANDLING FUEL

SELECTING WOOD/FUEL

You can use any type of wood as fuel. However harder woods, such as beech or ash, are generally better for heating, as they burn

more evenly and create less ash. Other woods, such as maple, birch and spruce, are excellent alternatives.

PREPARATION

The best fuel is obtained where the tree has been felled and the wood sawn and split before May 1st. Remember to cut the wood

to match the size of the combustion chamber. We recommend a diameter of 6-10 cm. The length should be about 6 cm shorter

than that of the combustion chamber to leave enough space for air to circulate. If the diameter of the wood is greater than the

above, it should be split down its length. Wood that has been split dries faster.

STORING

You need to store the sawn and split wood in a dry place for 1-2 years before it will be dry enough to burn. Wood dries faster if

you stack it in an airy place. Before using it, it is a good idea to store the wood for a few days at room temperature. Remember

that wood absorbs moisture from the air during autumn and winter.

MOISTURE

To avoid problematic impact on the environment and to ensure optimum operating economy, the wood should be perfectly dry

before it can be used as fuel. If you use wood that is too damp, most of the heat it produces will be used up in evaporating the

water. The stove will accordingly not increase in temperature, nor emit heat to the room as a result. This is obviously poor econ-

omy, and it will cause soot build-up on the glass pane, in the stove and in the chimney. Operation using moist wood also pollutes

the environment.

¬ Maximum wood moisture content should not exceed 20%. A moisture content of 15-18% will deliver best efﬁciency.

¬ An easy way of checking wood moisture content is to knock the ends of the two pieces of wood together. If the wood

is moist, the sound will be slightly mufﬂed.

USE OF THE FOLLOWING AS FUEL IS ILLEGAL

NOTE: Painted, pressure impregnated, or glued wood, or sea driftwood.

NOTE: Nor should you ever burn chipboard, plastics, or treated paper. These contain substances which are hazardous to human

health, to the environment, your stove, and your chimney. In short – make sure you only use proper wood.

CALORIFIC VALUE OF THE WOOD

The various woods have different caloriﬁc values. In other words, for certain

species of wood, you will need to use a greater quantity to achieve the same

heating performance. This Instruction Manual assumes that you will be using

beech, which has a very high caloriﬁc value and is also the easiest wood to

buy. If you use oak or beech as fuel, you need to bear in mind that these woods

have a greater caloriﬁc value than, say, birch. To avoid any risk of damage to

the stove, you should therefore make sure you use less fuel in these cases.
