Type of wood
The Heat Pure built-in fireplace is suitable for
burning dry wood. We recommend using only
chopped wood, which has not undergone any
treatment; MDF, stained or coated wood, and
flammable waste should not be used as fuel in the
Heat Pure on environmental grounds and to protect
the working life of the Heat Pure. The most suitable
types of wood are beech, oak and birch.
Dry wood (approximately 15% moisture content) is extremely important
for a good combustion process. If damp wood is used, the ceramic
window pane in the door will become soiled and there is an increased
risk of chimney fire. It will also form an environmental nuisance and a
nuisance to the neighbours as a result of the excessive smoke/odour that
is released (extremely dark smoke). This is why you should always make
sure that dry wood is stored suitably. To obtain the ideal moisture
content of 15%, the chopped wood often needs to dry outside for a
period of 2 to 3 years.
If the Heat Pure is lit with an open door, we advise you to use broadleaf
wood such as oak, beech and birch. These types of wood do not contain
much resin. When burning types of wood that do contain resin, such as
pine and larch and fir, a lot of sparks are released. We also discourage
the use of hardwood. It is better to mix the different types of wood, for
example, by combining broadleaf wood with hardwood. This will benefit
the lifespan of the Heat Pure and will create a more attractive play of
flames.
