The length, quantity and quality of
logs
The maximum length of logs to be used is 50 cm. Logs
should be placed parallel to the back wall of the
combustion chamber. Minimum heat emission from a
Jøtul F 400 is 2.5 kWh, and the nominal capacity 8,0 kWh.
The calculated requirement for nominal heat emission is
approx. 3,2 kg quality wood per hour.
Jøtul’s definition of quality wood
Good quality wood should be dried so that the water
content is approx. 20-25%.
To achieve this, the wood should be cut during late winter
or early spring. It should then be cut and stacked to ensure
proper airing. The stacks should be covered to prevent
them from absorbing too much rainwater. The logs should
be taken indoors in autumn for use during the winter
season.
With good quality firewood we mean logs from trees, such
as birch, beech and oak.
The amount of energy obtainable from 1 kg of wood varies
very little. On the other hand, the specific weight of the
different kinds of wood varies considerably. As an example,
a certain volume of birch will provide less kWh than the
same volume of oak, which has a higher specific weight.
The amount of energy in 1 kg quality wood is approx. 3,8
kWh. 1 kg of completely dry wood (0 % humidity) produces
approximately 5 kWh, while wood with a humidity level
of 60% produces only around 1.5 kWh/kg.
