Fuel

Wood species and storage

You can use all kinds of woods as fuel as long as it is clean, split and dry. Hardwood like oak, beech and

birch burn slowly, give o much heat and form charcoal easily. Softer woods like spruce, r and poplar

give more ames but less heat and less charcoal.

The best place to store timber is in a windy spot but sheltered from the rain. This is how the logs can

dry in a natural way. Pile the logs on an old pallet or a frame to let the wood dry from underneath and

to prevent the lower logs from being in contact with water.

Wood species Drying time

Fir, Poplar 1 year

Lime, Willow, Spruce, Birch,

Ash, Alder

Fruit trees, Beech 2 years

Oak 2,5 years

The Black Diamond only burns on wood. Do not put more than 3 to 4 kg of fuel in the stove at the time. Always

use clean and cut logs, which have suciently dried. Please see the above list for drying times. Wet wood does

not burn well and gives heavy smoke emission. It may blacken the glass pane of your stove with soot and build

up smut in the ue pipe. This may increase the risk of chimney re.

Fresh, moist wood contains about 50% moisture. Cleaved wood still contains 20% moisture after drying it for

a year and moisture percentage will be decreased to 12 to 15% after drying it for two years. Dry wood gives

nice ames and little or no smoke, and the re will crackle when burning. Wet wood makes a hissing sound,

gives much smoke and only small ames which will considerably dampen the pleasure of burning your stove

and the heat output.

Do not put any paran-containing logs in your stove. When the door is closed, the high heat will

melt the paran from the logs too quickly. The polluted ue gasses which consequently develop will

deposit on and burn in the glass of your stove and cannot be removed later.

Do not use any wood that is painted, impregnated, glued together or processed in any other way. The

ue gases are very harmful to the environment and may aect your stove. It is also prohibited to burn

plastics and other waste matter due to poisonous smoke development.

The best way to burn your stove

All WANDERS’ stoves are designed so that they give a maximum output. A well-lit wood-burning stove can

produce a yield of about 75%. This means that you need less wood for the same amount of heat. Moreover, a

well-lit stove produces less smoke pollution. Below are a few tips to give you optimum pleasure:

• Always burn your stove with its door closed; this will improve the output within 8 to 10 times. When the

door of the stove is open, the chimney will draw more air than is needed for proper combustion. The rela-

tively cold air will cool the re. It will also preclude re damage by any sputtering sparks, especially from

softwood.

• Do not put more than 3 logs on the re at one time. Too much fuel at one time thwarts ecient combus-
