The selection of logs

Logs drying

The oak ascends in temperature less effectively, so it is best to blend it with different species.

The softwood , in spite of what everybody considers, is very appropriate to be scorched. As he has awful press, it is anything but difficult to

get as a blessing or at a low cost.

Start Or the supposed " Top down " method

Ignition "Top Down"

Ignition « Top Down »

For a decent start, in other words, which won't devour too rapidly the logs of the hearth, it is smarter to

begin it from the best :

Customarily, you set up your fire by putting the start gear under it, and consuming wood over it.

In best down, we turn around everything. The biggest pieces are put beneath, the methods to finish everything and the little fuel at

the best.

The aggravated little wood is expended, falls and lights the transitional wood, which once all around began, touches off in

its turn the bigger pieces (which must not be exorbitantly extensive, to devour well without contaminating).

The method enhances the execution of the episode, the gases contained in the biggest logs are discharged later,

they are all the more effortlessly touched off amid post-ignition ...

Burning

An excellent ignition

Inadequate ignition creates unburnt particles that add to air contamination (ξυλα για τζακι):

The proficiency and "neatness" of a wood warming framework depends on its capacity to achieve high temperatures.

The wood starts to consume at around 300 ° C. The ignition will proceed as the temperature ascends, until achieving 850

° C which is viewed as the start of clean ignition. At 1000 ° C, all gases in the wood are scorched.

The constant fire (or moderate burning) is to be maintained a strategic distance from : it is important to constantly open the vents (bring forth, and so on.)

to the greatest:

By denying the fire of oxygen, its burning temperature diminishes, which results in the emanation of an extensive

measure of unburned gases and hurtful particles.

A decent wood fire does not make smoke : all gases and particles consuming in the chimney, just water vapor comes out

of the pipe.

The temperature of the hearth achieves its most extreme when the wood is decreased to the condition of coals .

The more extended the vent, the more grounded the draft.

Great ignition keeps going a normal of 90 minutes. It is very conceivable to make it last 2 to 3 hours in

accordance with these tenets.

Some security rules

The softwood can ascend high in temperature, the hearth must be adjusted.

The wood can warm up itself from the minute it has just achieved 100 ° C. It touches off at 300 ° C: consideration

to combustible components close to the pipe.

An air admission is obligatory, it must quantify 50 cm² and must face the overall breezes.(τεντες)

The pipe must surpass the edge 40cm and must be 8 meters from any obstruction. It is in this manner

important to elevate the focal position to keep the conductor is excessively long.

On the off chance that the channel goes upstairs and through an occupied room, it is obligatory to have it closed and give two vents.

At long last, at the exit, everything must be shut around the course, leaving an opening of 5 cm².

In actuality...

We connected these couple of essential principles from the primary ice:

We profited by the collective wood cutting this year, we cut wood for consuming in 2 years

by applying the method pallet/sheet in a place very much uncovered.

We are totally vanquished by the start in "Top Down":

no compelling reason to revive the chimney for a few hours,

decent coals quicker than a year ago,

coals found in the slag very nearly 24 hours after the fact, without contacting the fire: last logs included at 22h, the following day at

18h, coals were still there,

a window that does not obstruct any longer ...

Incubate all the time open.
