Wood Heating

Many consumers choose wood as the main or auxiliary energy source for heating their
main home 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

The main feature of a controlled combustion woodstove 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 woodstove remains its air tightness, which allows
the user to control the quantity of oxygen admitted into the woodstove.
The wood will burn slowly if the woodstove 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.
