temperature falls too low and the new load of firewood does not light well. This has a negative effect
on combustion and dirties the glass.
2. The temperature of the firewood increases rapidly, and it begins to break up, emitting gas that ignites if
the fireplace temperature is appropriate. The fireplace temperature begins to increase as the fuel
emits more gas and the flames increase.
3. After a certain period of time, which varies depending on the type of firewood, the maximum
temperature value is reached, and the gases emitted from the firewood decrease slowly along with
the volume of the flames.
When the firewood gas emission is complete, the flame goes out and the firewood turns to burning
embers, that is the moment to add wood into the stove.
The fuel load should have the approximate weight recommended by the manufacturer for each model.
Preferably in one or two pieces.
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.
