WOOD HEATING

Many consumers choose wood as the main or auxiliary energy source for heating their dwelling or secondary residence. This source of energy has the advantage of being abundant, relatively cheap and easy to store so that you are assured of energy autonomy for more of less longer periods.

THE CONTROLLED COMBUSTION WOOD STOVE

The main feature of a controlled combustion wood stove is an air tightness that is the most perfect possible, and must of course be equipped with the most efficient heat exchanger possible in order to transfer maximum heat to the ambient air. It is generally doubled with firebricks, and it may have a glass door, with steel or cast iron frame. The main feature that makes it a controlled combustion wood stove remains its air tightness, which allows the user to control the quantity of oxygen admitted into the wood stove.

The wood will burn slowly if the wood stove draught keys are adjusted in order to reduce the oxygen supply in the combustion chamber to minimum; on the other hand, wood will burn quickly if the draught keys are adjusted to admit a larger quantity of oxygen in the combustion chamber.
