FUEL

Wood burner performance also depends greatly on the fuel used. The wood must be dry to get more heat.
(Humidity less than 20%) It will also be easier to regulate heat and keep the wood burner and flue in better
condition.
Store firewood in a dry, ventilated place protected from the rain for at least two years.
Use split pieces of wood, as they burn better than whole logs. Split sections of logs that are as uniform as possible
and equal in form and size are the best.
Unsplit wood: not recommended for use
- You can also use compressed-wood logs, such as briquettes.
- Avoid softwoods, such as pine, because they produce a lot of smoke and soot that dirty the glass.
- Do not use flammable liquids to light the fire; always keep them away from the wood burner.
- Do not use the wood burner as an incinerator, never burn plastics, waste, garbage or rubbish.
