What can be incinerated - and what can't?
Optimal fuels
Use natural logs or pressed wood. The logs should be thick enough that you can hold them comfortably with both hands. Store the firewood in a warm place at least one day before use, as cold wood burns worse. Finely split wood ensures a particularly low-soot burn.
Hazardous fuels
Wood chips, waste, waste paper and pallets. Magazines, cardboard, wood from treated disposable and reusable pallets, crates, wood from furniture, leftovers from renovations, demolitions and construction sites emit exhaust gases that attack the system components and harm our health and the environment.
Guide: Storing firewood
To ensure that your wood burns optimally, the residual moisture content should be below 20 percent. The ideal storage period is two to three years in a well-protected, airy outdoor location. Make sure that the wood has no contact with the ground. A suitable shelter protects against rain and moisture, ensures good ventilation and prevents mold or rot.
Effective calorific value per kilogram of wood
