5.2 Heating with wood
a)
Firing up
A fast run through the heating phase is important as in the heating or burning
phase, high emission levels might occur due to operating defects.
Never use spirits, petrol or other flammable liquids. The ignition should always
be effected with 1 or 2 firelighters, small pieces of wood equivalent to two logs.
On heating up, the primary air damper should be fully open.
The grate should always be fully covered with fuel over all its surface. As soon
as the ignition material is burnt up, add more wood.
At the very latest, the fire door should now be closed!
Firing up procedure
Possibly available damper
fully opened
Fire door open
Primary air slide fully open
Fire box and ash tray clean
Prepare firing
Ignite firing
Test the stove draught
After some time, reduce the
primary air as required
Begin to add wood
b) Further heating/replenishment
After reaching the operating temperature and respecting some basic rules, very
low-emission operation is possible. The thermal performance depends on the
wood. You can be guided by the following size classes. In the heating phase,
you should not use any logs.
The nominal thermal output of 6 KW can be reached with the following
wood amounts, combustion air settings and combustion times:
Position the damper in the longitudinal direction
of the pipe
Move slide completely to the opening position
Move any residual ash and unburned charcoal
with a poker to the centre
Place firelighters or wood wool in the centre of
the fire area, then add 0.5 kg of wood chips in
layers. The grate should always be covered with
wood over its entire surface.
Place ignition material in several places. When
the ignition material has been ignited
everywhere, close the fire door;
Is the smoke drawn off easily through the
chimney?
If not, see the Guide in Chapter 6
If there is no draught when the outdoor
temperatures > 15° C, you should refrain from
firing up (see Section 3.2).
Reduce primary air damper.
Lay a maximum of 3 pieces of wood across the
small pieces of wood laterally to the fire box
opening
