evaporate the water, which is up to 75% in young wood without bark.
To obtain dry wood (15%-20% humidity) you must cut the weak wood (in winter) to the desired length
and cut it again in pieces with a maximum diameter of 8-15 cm. You must then put them in a ventilated
shelter for at least 2 years (4 for oak, the first with exposure to the rain to eliminate the tannin).
You must stack the wood without compressing it to allow the passage of air, which, when circulating
between pieces of wood, releases the humidity and aids drying.
5.2 HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT WOOD
To obtain combustion and optimum efficiency from your stove, you must use firewood on the basis of
the following list.
YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY NEVER USE:
Green or damp wood, treated wood (railway sleepers, plywood off-cuts, painted wood, etc.), low-grade
anthracite and coke.
THE USE OF THE ABOVE LISTED MATERIALS AND DAMAGES CAUSED BY THEM ANNUL ANY
FORM OF GUARANTEE AND THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY.
