How much wood will I use?
That depends entirely on how you heat your room, what sort of appliance you
have and the size of the room you are heating. As a general rule, a fi re used in
accordance with our guidelines (no air under the fuel, topped up once an hour)
produces an output of about 3 kW.
In an averagely-insulated house, the general rule is that in a room of 80 m
3
, you
need a fi re with an output of around 7 kW. For each subsequent 10 m
3
, add on
0.6 kW.
In a relatively well-insulated house, the general rule is that in a room of 80 m
3
,
an appliance of 5.5 kW is adequate, and for each subsequent 10 m
3
, you need
to add a further 0.4 kW.
Can a wood-burning stove/fi tted fi re be connected to a central heating
installation?
The Barbas range does not have any stoves/fi res that can be connected to
central heating installations. W
e do not advise attempting it!!
At what temperature does/do the convection fan(s) cut in?
Wood-burning stoves are not fi tted with convection fans.
Fitted fi res with a fan controlled by a built-in dimmer have no automatic
temperature control. The on/off switch is part of the dimmer.
If your fi tted fi re is equipped with a transformer plug and dimmer, it will also have
an automatic temperature control. If the two fans are about to overheat, they will
cut in when the area to the left and right of the ash drawer becomes warm.
This is at approx. 45°C.
How do I know if I’m heating correctly?
Follow the instructions in this manual.
The fl ames should play softly across the wood and the wood should burn evenly.
Once the fi re has been burning for a short time, the smoke from the chimney
should be almost translucent.
