Wood - Choice and use
JIDÉ fireplaces are designed to burn only hardwood logs.
The quality of the wood is important.
:
Green' wood contains a lot of water (+/- 50%).
Dry' wood, stored for 24 months outdoors, well ventilated and covered, contains 15% water.
Wet wood is harder to burn, offers less heat output and pollutes the environment.
-
The disadvantages of damp smoke include reduced draught and the formation of tar in the
flue and on cold surfaces (e.g. glass).
Split wood will provide better combustion and improve the operation of your fireplace.

The calorific value of wood varies according to species, and the volume of wood required for
150 mm
the same amount of heat differs according to this choice. For example, 'hard' wood varieties
such as beech and oak, which have a high density, will require a smaller quantity than other
150 mm
species with a low density:

Oak 380 - 480 kg per cubic metre

Maximum wood load per hour :
PU58 V3 2.2 kg (maximum) of dry wood per hour
PU67 V3 2.4 kg (maximum) of dry wood per hour
PU77 V3 2.6 kg (maximum) of dry wood per hour
Overloading your fireplace with wood can have serious consequences and the following
damage will obviously not be covered by the warranty:
- Deformation of the baffle
- Bleaching of the glass
- Degradation of the vermiculite
- Increased fan noise
- Excessive expansion of the door, which may cause it to warp
