Wood like birch, beech, oak, ash, elm, pine wood and wood from fruit trees is all suitable for
Waste products like pressure-treated wood, chipboard, coloured brochure or glossy paper must
not be used in a wood-burning stove. They develop hydrochloric acid or heavy metals which
cause a lot of damage to the stove and the environment.
Firewood should have a diameter of 7-9 cm and be no more than about 30 cm long, otherwise
used). The most important thing for good combustion is that the wood is dry (15-20% moisture).
there may be damage to the stove and the chimney in the shape of shining soot and tarry depo-
the gasses in the wood are released faster than they can burn and some go unburned through the
chimney. This also gives lower exploitation and harms the environment.
Bio-briquettes can be used, but they develop a lot of ash and dust.
Put in max. 2 kg per hour.
Energy coke must not be used as it contains a lot of sulphur which wears on a stove, the chim-
Storage of the firewood is best under a roof, however with good ventilation, e.g. in a carport
or under a shed roof. Place the wood on a wooden pallet or the like so it is free from the ground.
Fresh wood that has been sawed and split must be stored for about 1-2 years this way until the
moisture in the wood is down to 15-20%.
The ashes can be put in the rubbish bin for garbage collection. The ashes should always have
cooled for 1-2 days before it is put in the rubbish bin, as there might still be embers that can light
garbage or a garbage bag.

If there is heavy draught in the chimney it may be necessary to fit a damper in it.
This can be caused by down-draught in the chimney and most often happens in specific wind
