1.2.1. Suitable fuels
Stove is suitable for burning natural firewood
(ex. beech, birch), wood briquettes and
briquettes made of brown coal.
Beech has one of the best caloric values
among firewood and in addition it burns cleanly
(if stored properly ).
Freshly chopped firewood has to be dried,
usually from 12 to 18 months, prior to use
(preferably in open space, protected from rain).
Moisture content, in firewood, should not
exceed 20%.
Beech, birch, oak and maple burn with calm
flame and create a long-lasting ember.
Coniferous trees (ex. pinewood, fir) are full of

crackle and generate sparks.
