Avoid overloading with firewood that is too thin as this can cause poor combustion. The firewood emits an
excessive amount of gas very quickly and the air supply is insufficient. Although there is a large volume of
flames, combustion it is not good, and the glass tends to get dirty. There is a danger of reaching excessive
temperatures that threaten the integrity of the wood burner and user safety.
-
Select the firewood to achieve the desired type of operation. Thin firewood should be used to get higher
thermal power, use it after lighting the fire for a faster response as you need more heat. Use thick wood
for a slower combustion when you have less need for heat or for overnight maintenance, always
preceded by a cycle of more power with thinner firewood, when the appliance temperature is already
high. If necessary, when starting the fire, burn a combination of thin and thick firewood.
-
When the wood burner is in operation, the door should always be closed. When you open the door to
reload, do so slowly to avoid the smoke inside the fireplace from blowing out into the room.
Warning. - In wood burners and inserts, prolonged and continuous use at a very low rate of
combustion or with very wet wood can cause highly flammable creosote to build up in the flue.
3.2 Fuel
Wood burner performance also depends greatly on the fuel used. The wood must be dry to get more heat (less
than 20% humidity). 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 one to two years depending on the storage
and weather conditions.
Use opened pieces of wood, it will burn better than logs. The best would be opened pieces with a similar section
and shape.
NOT RECOMMENDED wood pieces
.
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.
-
Remove the ashes when the wood burner is off and place them in a metal container as there may be
-
burning embers hidden in the ashes.
