5 factors affecting wood burning intensity

The burning time and intensity of firewood and the efficiency ratio depend on 5 factors
1 Air supply to the combustion tube
2 Control of air through latch and humidity,
3 Types of logs
4 The number of logs. A smaller number of logs is used to maintain burning intensity.

Slower burning can be achieved by using a small amount of larger logs.

It is worth noting that frequent use of slow combustion mode is more likely to cause pollution of combustion pipes, flues, and glass doors.

In the best burning process, the firewood burns smoothly without hum, and the flame is golden.

To better dissipate heat and prevent fire, the combustion tube door must be closed.

It is not recommended to open the combustion channel door quickly to avoid retracting and smoking in the room.

Stonemasonry heaters or fireplaces often produce smoke due to elevated chimney heights or too-small diameters.
