Permissible fuels
The following fuels are approved:
● Natural shopped wood in the form of billet wood
Maximum length: ..............33 cm
Circumference: ....approx. 30 cm
● Wood briquettes to DIN EN 14691
Size class HP 2
Maximum length: ..............20 cm
Billet wood reaches a moisture content of 10 to 15%
after being stored outdoors for 2 to 3 years (only cov-
ered at the top) and is then ideally suited for heating.
Freshly cut wood has a very high moisture content
and so burns badly. Apart from the very low calorif-
ic value it is also harmful for the environment. The in-
creased condensate and tar formation can lead to fire-
place and chimney sooting.
This diagram shows that the consumption rate with
freshly-felled wood (calorific value 2.3 kWh/kg) is al-
most twice as high as the consumption rate with dry
wood (calorific value 4.3 kWh/kg).
Caloric value [kWh/kg]
dry wood that has been stored for at least 2 years
You will only achieve optimum combustion and heat
in an environmentally friendly way with these fuels.
Adding the fuel in small quantities avoids unnecessary
emissions. Clean burning can be identified by the fact
that the firebrick becomes a light colour.
According to the German Federal Immission Control
Act, it is forbidden e.g. to burn the following fuels in
stoves:
● Moist wood or wood treated with wood
preservatives
● Sawdust, chippings, grinding dust
● Bark and chipboard waste
● Slack coal
● Other wastes
● Paper and cardboard (except for igniting)
● Straw
