Permissible fuels
The following fuels are approved:
● Natural shopped wood in the form of billet wood
Maximum length: ..............33 cm
Circumference: ....approx. 30 cm
● Wood briquettes to DIN EN 14961
Size class HP 2
Maximum length: ..............20 cm
● Lignite briquettes
Billet wood reaches a moisture content of 10 to 15%
after being stored outdoors for 2 to 3 years (only cov-
ered at the top) and is then ideally suited for heating.
Freshly cut wood has a very high moisture content
and so burns badly. Apart from the very low calorif-
ic value it is also harmful for the environment. The in-
