Use dry wood logs (max. humidity 20%)Use logs The
use of damp wood would cause the product and the
flue to get dirty, the risk of smoke and a lower yield
than that declared.Each type of wood has different
characteristics that also influence combustion yield.
The data outlined on this manual are with wood used
during certification.
In general wood can have a heat of combustion up to
4.5 kWh/kg while cut fresh it has heat of combustion
around 2 kWh/kg
In general, beech or elm is recommended, or however
