Fuel and heating capacity
Combustion has been optimised from a
technical viewpoint both as regards the
air intake, and as regards the emissions.
We invite you to support our efforts
in favour of a clean environment by
observing the indications given below
on fuel use.
As fuel, only natural seasoned wood or
wood bricks must be used.
wood has a high water content and will
therefore burn badly, producing smoke
and little heat.
Use only wood which has been seasoned
for at least two years in a dry, ventilated
environment.
In this case, the water content will be
less than 20% of the weight. This will
allow for savings in terms of fuel, since
seasoned wood has a decidedly higher
