Fuel - Carbel KRONOS 100 Manual De Instrucciones


The fuel load should have the approximate weight recommended by the manufacturer for each model.
Preferably in one or two pieces.

Avoid overloading with firewood that is too thin as this can cause poor combustion. The firewood emits
an excessive amount of gas very quickly and the air supply is insufficient. Although there is a large
volume of flames, combustion it is not good and the glass tends to get dirty. There is a danger of
reaching excessive temperatures that threaten the integrity of the woodburner and user safety.

Select the firewood to achieve the desired type of operation. Thin firewood should be used to get higher
thermal power, use it after lighting the fire for a faster response as you need more heat.
Use thick wood for a slower combustion when you have less need for heat or for overnight
maintenance, always preceded by a cycle of more power with thinner firewood, when the appliance
temperature is already high. If necessary, when starting the fire, burn a combination of thin and thick
firewood.

When the woodburner is in operation, the door should always be closed. When you open the door to
reload, do so slowly to avoid the smoke inside the fireplace from blowing out into the room.
Warning. - In woodburners and inserts, prolonged and continuous use at a very low rate of
combustion or with very wet wood can cause highly flammable creosote to build up in the flue.

3. 3 FUEL

Woodburner performance also depends greatly on the fuel used. The wood must be dry to get more heat
(less than 20% humidity). It will also be easier to regulate heat and keep the woodburner and flue in better
condition.
Store firewood in a dry, ventilated place protected from the rain for at one to two years depending on the
storage and weather conditions.
Use opened pieces of wood, it will burn better than logs. The best would be opened pieces with a similar
section and shape.
NOT RECOMMENDED wood pieces

You can also use compressed-wood logs, such as briquettes.

Avoid softwoods, such as pine, because they produce a lot of smoke and soot that dirty the glass.
