Totem fireplaces are designed for domestic use. They should under no circumstances be used to
incinerate waste of any kind.
It is forbidden to use treated wood which may produce toxic fumes and clog up the installation.
For your safety, you should also avoid intense fires.
Recycled wood (pallets, joinery wood, planks…)
must not therefore be used
as it results in overheating which could damage the appliance, the chimney
connector and the chimney flue.
