Do not burn general waste or various plastics, but above all never use gasoline or flammable liquids.
In the case of use of briquettes it is required to halve the fuel consumption.
2. ABOUT WOOD FUEL
2-1 Do I know how much wood I will need to burn?
Roughly 1 lb of wood equals 1Kw of energy; therefore if you need 10Kw of energy per hour you are
going to have to burn about 10 lbs of wood per hour.
Pine and Oak have different density therefore a tonne of Pine will take up substantially more volume
than a tonne of Oak.
If you work out how many Kilowatt hours are required to keep your property warm then you should be
able to work out the weight of wood required for a seasons heating.
2-2 Do I have a reliable and proven supplier of wood and do I know the cost?
Once you have established your seasons requirement you can order your supplies from a local wood
fuel supplier.
2-3 Do I know how to store the wood?
Before any wood is burnt, it should have a moisture content of no more that 20%.
This can be achieved by drying outdoors for 12 months and then under cover for the second 12
months assuming that the wood has been cut, split and stored in such a way as to allow adequate air
to circulate through the wood pile.
Ash is an exception to this rule as it can be cut early in the year and (providing it is stored correctly)
burned in the autumn.
2-4 equipment to help me get the best from my wood burning appliance
There are many factors which will affect the running of your wood burning appliance but the most
common problems are:-
WET WOOD
RUNNING THE APPLIANCE AT THE WRONG TEMPERATURE
INCORRECT INSTALATION
INCORRECT CHIMNEY
The main problem here is knowing
How do I know that the wood fuel is at the correct moisture content for burning?
How do I know if I am burning the wood at the correct temperature?
