3.1. Fuel
Recommended fuel :
Wood
- Use hard wood logs, which have been cut for at least
two years and stored, under shelter.
- Hardwood has a higher calorific value per cu metre
(oak, ash, maple, birch, elm, beech, etc.).
- Large logs must be split and cut to a usable length,
before being stored in a sheltered and ventilated place.
Not recommended as fuel :
- “green wood”. Green or damp wood reduces stove
efficiency and soils the glass, the internal walls and the
flue (soot, tar, etc.).
- “used timbers”. Burning treated wood (railway
sleepers, telegraph poles, offcuts of plywood or chip
board, pallets, etc.) quickly clogs the flue ways (soot,
tar, etc.), pollutes the environment (pollution and smell,
etc.) and cause the fire to burn too quickly and
overheat.
“Green wood” and “recovered wood” can eventually
cause a chimney fire.
Prohibited fuel : Any form of bituminous coal or
petroleum based coke.
