To get the most out of your wood fuel it needs to be dried and ready to burn, this will help you to:
- Get the most heat out of your stove or open fire
- Maximise efficiency, meaning you will burn less fuel and save money
- Reduce the risk of chimney fires
- Reduce air pollution which is harmful to you and your neighbours
Most modern stoves are efficient, well-designed pieces of equipment. The fire box and air flow controls are designed to get the most out of wood-fuel with a moisture content of up to 20%. Unseasoned or wet wood can:
- Be difficult to light and keep alight
- Damage your grate or stove, tarring the inside and blackening the glass
