Dryingandstorage
Dryingwoodtakestime:properairdryingtakesapproximately2years.
Herearesometips:
Storethewoodsawn,splitandstackedinanairy,sunnyplace,whichisprotectedagainst
rain(thesouthsideofthehouseisparticularlysuitable).
Storethefirewoodstacksatahand'sbreadthapart,asthisensuresthattheairflowing
throughtakesthemoisturewithit.Avoidcoveringthefirewoodstackswithplastic,asthis
preventsthemoisturefromescaping.Itisagoodi deatobringthefirewoodintothehouse
23daysbeforeyouneedit.
Regulatingthecombustionair
AllRAISstovesareequippedwithaonehandedoperatingleverforreg ulatingthedamper.
Thestovespecificregulatingmechanismscanbeseenonthediagrams.
Primaryairisthecombustionairaddedtotheprimarycombustionzone,i.e.thebedof
glowingembers.Thisair,whichiscold,isonlyusedinthelightingstage.Secondaryairis
theairwhichisaddedinthegascombustionzone,i.e.airwhichcontributestothe
combustionofthepyrolysisgasses(preheatedair,whichisusedforthecleanerglass
systemandcombustion).Thisairissuckedthroughthedamperunderthecombusti on
chamberandispreheatedthroughthesid echannelsandthenemittedashotscavenging
airontotheglass.Thehotairrinsestheglassandkeepsitsootfree.
Thetertiarychannel,whichcanbeseenatthetopofthecombustionchambertowardsthe
back,servestocombustthefinalgasresidues.
Bysettingtheintervalbetweenposition1 and2,theenergycontentinthefirewoodisused
optimally,asthereisoxygenforcombustionandfortheburningofthepyrolysisgasses.
Whentheflamesareaclearyellowthedamperhasbeensetcorrectly.Findingthecorrect
positioncomeswithtimeafteryouhaveusedforstoveforawhile.
Itisnotrecommendedthatyouturnitdowncompl etely.Amistakecommonlymadeis
shuttingthedampertooearlybecauseitfeelstoohot.Thisresultsindarksmokeemanating
fromthechimneyandinthecalorificvalueofthefirewoodnotbeing usedtoitsfullest.
