Westbo Carl 120 Wood handling

Preparation

We recommend a diameter of 6-10 centimetre and that the

wood logs are 6 centimetre shorter than the replace.

This will help the air to circulate in the best possible way. If the

diameter is bigger, the wood logs must be splitted. Wood logs

that are splitted will dry better.

Storage

The splitted wood logs should be stored for 1-2 years before

usage. If the wood is put in piles it will dry faster. Before use,

store the wood in room temperature. Please keep in mind that

the wood during Autumn and Winter absorbs moist from the

air.

Moisture

To avoid environmental problems and to get the best fuel-

ling economy, the wood logs must be dried before use. They

should contain maximum 21% moisture. Best performance of

the wood logs is achieved by a moisture level of 15-18%.

A simple test is to beat two wood logs against each other. If a

numb sound occurs, the wood contains too much moist.

By using moist wood logs, large amount of the heat will be

used to evaporate the water. The stove will therefore not be

warm. This is of course uneconomic and there will be soot on

the glass hatches, inside the stove and in the chimney. The

environment will also be contaminated.

What is correct amount of wood logs?

How much is a kilo of wood? Or how do you handle the wood

in a correct way? There are literature to buy regarding wood

knowledge. It is a good thing to acquire a little more knowled-

ge on the subject than what we communicate here.

It is absolutely forbidden to re:

Painted, pressure-treated or glued wood. Neither is chipboard,

plastic, or treated paper suitable to re. The substances con-

tained in these products are harmful both to the environment

and to the stove. Even the chimney can be attacked if you use

material mentioned above.

Simply put, re only clean wood logs.

Caloric wood value

The caloric wood value varies between wood species. On

some you need to put a bit more wood into the replace to get

the same amount of heat like other wood species. In our ring

instructions, we calculate with birch wood, which has a very

good caloric value and is the type of wood we recommend.

By burning oak or beech, keep in mind that these types of

wood have a higher caloric value than birch. Wood logs must

also be reduced so the stove won’t be damaged. Pine and

spruce have higher caloric value than birch.
