Firewood
Firewood is a natural and ecological fuel for heating in stoves, fireplaces, boilers or saunas. Properly prepared, dried firewood ensures high calorific value, clean burning and less smoke.
Firewood is made from various types of wood
Oak, ash - hardwoods that burn for a long time and evenly, emit a lot of heat.
Pine, spruce - conifers, ignite faster, suitable for quick ignition.
Birch, black alder, linden - popular due to good heat and pleasant smell during combustion.
Why is it worth choosing dried firewood?
Higher calorific value - wet firewood wastes part of its energy on water evaporation.
Cleaner combustion - less soot and tar in the chimney.
Ecological fuel - a renewable energy source that protects nature.
High-quality, dried firewood is an efficient, economical and cozy source of heat for your home.
Firewood heat groups
Firewood is divided into three main heat groups, depending on its density, burning time and the amount of heat released.
Group I – very hot, heavy firewood
These are hardwoods that have a high density and emit the most heat.
This firewood burns slowly, evenly and retains heat for a long time.
Species
Oak
Ash
Hornbeam (if used)
Elm
Suitable for: long-term burning in boilers, fireplaces, stoves, where a long burning time is important.
Group II – medium-heat firewood
These are slightly lighter hardwoods with a lower calorific value, but burn cleaner and faster.
Belonging species
Birch
Maple
Fruit tree wood (apple, pear)
Lime
Suitable for: home heating, saunas, fireplaces - when clean burning and rapid heat distribution are desired.
Group III - less hot, light firewood
These are soft deciduous and coniferous trees that ignite quickly, but burn for a shorter time and emit less heat.
Belonging species
Black alder
Aspen
Pine
Spruce
Suitable for: kindling, sauna stoves, stoves, when quick heat is needed.
When choosing firewood, it is worth combining different groups: heavier ones - for long heat, lighter ones - for quick kindling.
Such a combination provides efficient and even heating, saving combustion equipment and reducing fuel consumption.
