HANDLING OF THE 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 tempera-

ture. 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 per-

fectly 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 economy, 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: It is absolutely prohibited to ﬁre with painted, pressure impregnated or glued wood, or sea driftwood. Nor should

you ever burn chipboard, plastics, or treated paper. These contain substances that are hazardous to human health, to the

environment, your stove, and your chimney. In short - make sure you only use proper 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 Instuction

Manual assumes that you will be using beach, which has a

very high caloriﬁc value and is also the easiest wood to get

hold on. If you use oak or beech as fuel, you need to bear in

mind that these wood types have a greater caloriﬁc value

than for example birch. To avoid any risk of damage to the

stove, you should therefore make sure to use less fuel in

these cases.
