FUEL
10.1
FUEL
•
The allowed fuel is firewood and its derivatives (lignite blocks, compressed sawdust, etc.) with a maximum
water content of 20%.
•
To obtain good firewood, it must be seasoned outside for at least 2 years in a place protected from the
weather.
•
If the wood is purchased it must fulfil standard UNI-EN-14961-2 namely UNI EN ISO 17225-2 (class A1).
Using damp wood or scraps of bark results in the formation of creosote in the ducts and in
the hearth. The heat output of damp wood is much lower than the heat output of dry wood
and pollutes a lot more.
•
To know the lenght of wood log to use, check the dimensions of stove combustion chamber.
