8.2 Method
The burning of wood is accompanied by high flames and heavy smoke
production. Wood must be burnt up rapidly and with a constant oxygen
supply. The combustion process may not be slowed down under any
circumstances.
Negative consequences could be:
- smouldering fire, condensation and tar discharge
- excessive production of soot
- inconvenience caused by smoke (emission of harmful substances)
- danger of asphyxiation
- danger of explosion
Wood provides intense combustion of short duration:
Sustained combustion is only achieved through regular top-ups. This
means : only when the wood has almost been burnt up and the degassing
process completed - high flames are reduced to small, low flames and
wood is converted into glowing embers - can the emission of heat be
slowed down by closing the air slider above the door with the glass panel
and the one of the ash pan. (see figure).
Avoid an excessive amount of fuel in any case, otherwise the energy
surge becomes too great and too much heat will be lost.
