Environmental & adverse climatic and transitional conditions
Wood burning is a natural process that releases as much CO2 as it does during decay in the forest.
However, poor combustion can release harmful fumes. That is why it is imperative that you, the user,
re correctly to avoid nuisance. Provide dry, clean wood and do not re during foggy weather.
Control the amount of heat not by means of the air sliders, but by means of the amount of wood.
Completely squeezing the air supply can cause poorer combustion.
In the so-called transition period or in bad weather conditions (e.g. fog, damp rainy days, strong gusts
of wind and when the outside temperature is higher than +15°C) the chimney draught may be impeded,
so that the smoke is not fully discharged. To compensate for this adverse eect, load the stove with as
little wood as possible or use additional dra regulators.
Heating capacity
The actual power of the stove is largely determined by the amount of wood red.
As a rule of thumb: 1 kg of wood corresponds to 4 kW of power.
The capacity of the stove is indicated on the rating plate. This is the power achieved during inspection
with the prescribed amount of wood. Stoking less wood leads to less power. Stoking more wood leads
to a higher output. However, it must be taken into account that the stove does not overheat.
The capacity of the wood stove is tested during the inspection and indicated on the type plate of the
wood stove. Depending on the power rating, you can heat more or less.
The space you can actually heat depends on the amount of fuel, the chimney dra and the insulation
level of your home. Values issued for this reason are dierent in each case because not all other
conditions are equal.
