Wood – Utilization
Seleçtion
Not all wood has the same heating power. In general, opt for hardwoods such as oak, beech
or fruit trees, the wood of which produces beautiful flames and embers that remain glowing for
a long time. Don’t use logs that are too big.
Drying
whatever wood you choose it must be completely dry: damp or green wood doesn’t heat as
well, since a large part of the energy is consumed in the evaporation of the water it contains.
Besides this, damp wood produces a large amount of smoke and a poor flame, which creates
soot inside the stove, on the glass and in the chimney. Wood should be covered or sheltered
from the rain, but well ventilated. Generally the wood should have a drying period of two
years.
Avoid Using
Resinous woods: These woods release a lot of heat but burn quickly and produce embers and
resin which dirty the chimney and the interior of the stove.
Never use
Wood which has varnish, paint, cement and glues. These can release toxic gases, besides
damaging the stove.
All ADF appliances are designed to burn wood, and only wood that is dry with less than 20%
humidity. Damp wood or other types of fuel that are not recommended will lead to loss of
guarantee.
