Manufacturer’s warning: Boiler output and its functionality are guaranteed for moisture up to 20%.
When burning the wet wood the boiler does not work in the gasification regime, its output is reduced and
emissions are worse and there occurs the flue gases condensation in the boiler. Consequently the boiler and
chimney service life are shorter.
