Tips about fuel

Approved fuel types

The wood burning stove is EN approved for combustion of wood only. It is recommended to use dried

chopped wood with a water content of a maximum of 18%. Stoking a re with wet wood results in soot,

environmental problems, and a less efcient fuel economy. It is recommended to purchase a hygrometer

to continuously check that the rewood has the correct moisture content before using it for ring.

Recommended wood types

All types of wood, for instance birch, beech, oak, elm, ash, conifers, and fruit trees can be used as fuel in your

wood burning stove. The great difference is not in the fuel value, but in the weight of the wood types per

cubic metre. Since beech weighs more per cubic metre than for instance common spruce, it will take more

common spruce to produce the same amount of heat that you would get from a cubic metre of beech.

Banned fuel types

It is not allowed to stoke a re with the following: printed matter, plywood, plastic, rubber, uid fuels,

and rubbish such as milk cartons, lacquered wood or impregnated wood or fossil fuels. The reason that

you should not apply any of the above is that during combustion they develop substances that are health

hazardous and harmful to the environment. These substances could also damage your wood burning stove

and chimney, rendering the product warranty void.

Storage of wood

A water content of a maximum of 18% is achieved by storing the wood for a minimum of one year,

preferably two years, outdoors under a lean-to. Wood stored indoors has a tendency to become too

dry and combust too quickly. However, it might be advantageous to store fuel for lighting a re indoors

for a few days prior to use.

Recommended dimensions

The dimensions of the fuel are important to good combustion. The dimensions should be as follows:

Fuel type Length in cm Diameter in cm

Wood for kindling a re (nely chopped) 20-31 2-5

Chopped wood 20-31 7-9

Special re lighting guide for stoves with soapstone or sandstone cladding

Soapstone and sandstone are natural products which need to adjust to temperature changes. We

recommend following the procedure below:

1. First stoking

Turn the regulator (drawing E, 1) clockwise to maximum. Place two pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter)

horizontally in the bottom of the combustion compartment (corresponding to 0.9-1,2 kg). Place 6-10

pieces of kindling randomly on top. Place 2-4 relighters between the top layer of kindling. Light up the

re-lighters and close the stove door. If condensation forms on the glass, keep the door ajar for a little

while and close again. When the re has gone out, open the door and leave it open while the stove cools

to room temperature.

2. Second stoking

Turn the regulator (drawing E, 1) clockwise to maximum. Place two pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter)

horizontally in the bottom of the combustion compartment (corresponding to 0.9-1.2 kg). Place 6-10 pieces

of kindling randomly on top. Place 2-4 relighters between the top layer of kindling. Light up the re-lighters

and close the stove door. If condensation forms on the glass, keep the door ajar for a little while and close

again. When no more yellow ames are visible and a suitable layer of embers has built up, the stove can be

stoked again. A suitable ember layer is when the bottom of the combustion chamber is covered by embers

which are shining brightly. Place 2 pieces of new rewood (up to 1.15 kg each) with a diameter of approx.

7-9 cm in the combustion chamber. When all of the wood has caught re, turn the regulator (1) to middle

position. Allow the re to burn and let the stove cool to room temperature before stoking again.
