We recommend a residual moisture level of 15% for a cleaner
environment and cleaner vitroceramic windows.
Wood with a residual moisture content of more
then 20% is diicult to ignite and causes higher
emissions.
We prescribe a maximum residual moisture content
of 20 % for our fireplace inserts.
3.3.2 Heating behaviour of wood
Note that dierent types of wood burn dierently:
Hardwoods are ideal as firewood. They burn slowly and
with a steady flame. The embers are long-lasting.
Coniferous wood is high in resin and burns quickly.
Coniferous wood tends to spark more during the
combustion cycle.
3.3.3 Calorific value of the wood
Use the diagram to determine the calorific value in kWh/
kg (based on 15% residual moisture content) of the most
popular types of wood used.
BEECH WOOD 4,0 kWh/kg
SPRUCE WOOD 4,5 kWh/kg
WOOD BRIQUETTES
01 2
4,9 kWh/kg

3.3.4 Correct drying and storage
Use only natural, split, seasoned and air-dried wood with a
residual moisture of at most 20% or recommended 15%.

The recommended method for drying wood correctly is to
store it outside buildings. Split wood dries better and has
better burning behaviour.
The stack of logs should be constructed with no contact
with the ground, as it could otherwise draw moisture out of
the soil. Preferably store logs on the south side of a building,
protected from rain and well ventilated. Stack logs loosely
and supported on one side. Leave a ventilation gap between
the individual logs.
Storing fresh or wet wood in closed buildings (e.g. garages) or
in packaging without adequate air exchange prevents drying
and leads to the wood slowing down and going mouldy.
Leave the firewood in the warm living room one
day before using it, especially during the colder and
wetter months of the year.
3.3.5 Drying time
A minimum of one year is a guideline time for drying
softwood (e.g. coniferous wood, birch) and a minimum of
two years for hardwood (e.g. beech, ash). We recommend
that you dry your wood for 2 to 3 years. A wood moisture
meter can be used to determine the actual moisture content
of the wood.
3.4 Wood briquettes
NOTICE
Wood briquettes have a higher energy density of more
than 20 % compared to firewood and grow in volume in
the fire.
Reduce the amount of wood added. Refer to the manufac-
turer’s product information when using briquettes.
The quality of wood briquettes can vary greatly. Only
wood briquettes made of natural wood in accordance with
ISO17225-3 are suitable for use with this appliance.
