Westbo Victoria 85 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.
