How to choose the right wood? 

Regular wood: 3 gatherings 

The French standard arranges firewood (energy wood) into three gatherings. These gatherings are formed according to the amount of warmth provided by a similar volume of wood. It is the thickness of the wood that determines the ignition of a wood . The denser the wood, the more calories it discharges throughout a more extended timeframe, all that is wanted for our firewood. 

Gathering 1 

Gathering 1 species assign hardwoods with an extremely high calorific worth because of their lethargic burning. Among these species, we find oak, beech, debris, elm, maple, birch ... 

- Oak : Multipurpose wood, oak gives great coals and a delightful fire. Its calorific worth is the most noteworthy . Because of its excellent ignition , it is especially reasonable for broilers. Oak requires great drying because of its high tannin content. The tannin is unsafe to the material and the heating pipes. Incline toward wood that has dried for something like 3 years . 

- Beech : Often thought to be the best firewood because of its wonderful fire (more lovely than oak) and the great coals it gives. It has an exceptionally high calorific worth (a little lower than oak) and its coals are once in a while joined by flashes. Notwithstanding its excellent calorific/energy commitment , beech emits a frequently liked smell. It is moreover this wood which is used for the smoking of groceries. 

At the hour of your buy, a volume of wood from bunch 1 should contain essentially 95% of hardwoods from bunch 1.

Gathering 2 comprises of wood with a lower calorific worth , however which consumes similarly as leisurely. They are regularly used in combination with hardwoods of gathering 1 to more readily fuel them. 

Gathering 2 includes woods like chestnut , bogus acacia and some organic product trees. 

When purchasing, your volume should contain essentially 85% of gathering 2 characters .

In bunch 3, we will find different characters. These delicate woods have a low calorific esteem and partake in a significantly more succinct ignition . These attributes are a resource for rapidly heating a room and/or starting a more thick/cruel fire . We find in bunch 3, birch, birch, poplar, plane tree, lime tree ... (καμερες ασφαλειας)

Birch : Offering the best burning of the gathering , it offers an extremely tasteful ignition. Birch gives an excellent clear fire, marginally somewhat blue when touched off. Appreciated for fireplaces, but , it consumes rapidly . 

THE CASE OF SOFTWOOD 

We intentionally distinguish softwoods from the 3 main gatherings. Truth be told, conifers can be used to fuel your fire because they consume rapidly. Generating sparkles, they rapidly produce heat . 

Nonetheless, you should remain cautious, not to use them as often as possible. During burning, the resin discharges stores that obstruct your heating gadget. The use of softwood requires more successive maintenance of your conduits. 

In the event that you settle on softwoods, favor all around prepared wood with a low resin content. 

Choose your firewood 

"Nectar, the old furniture stored in the carport, we simply need to use it to warm the house, it will set aside us space and cash!" »Alert, a bogus smart thought. Never use wood treated or covered with paint/stain. In like manner, no old furnishings or plywood sheets for your firewood. 

The burning of these woods discharges poisonous gases and toxins for the environment destructive to your wellbeing.
