Not everyone knows, but the same bundle of firewood can produce different amounts of heat. It all depends on how they are laid in a stove or fireplace. Interesting? I suggest you read my article to learn how to save up to 70% on wood.
The method, which will be discussed below, I myself have been using for many years. Try it too!
For example, let's take an ordinary bunch of firewood, from which we will extract more heat. How can this be done? First, select the thickest logs and place them on the bottom. It is best if there are several of them. Stack the logs tightly, being careful not to leave large gaps between them.
The denser the logs are laid, the less air will pass through them.
- Next, select medium logs and also stack them tightly to one another. Imagine that you need to build a blank wall of logs, as in Tetris. Gaps should be kept to a minimum.
- Further, by analogy, stack the logs a little smaller, then even less, until you reach the smallest ones. Place chips on the very top that are suitable for kindling.
Having done everything as I described, you should get a full oven of logs, the distance between which is minimal. The higher the logs, the smaller they are.
After that, we proceed to kindling. You may wonder but this should be done from above. I know that many people are accustomed to heating the stove from the bottom, but this is less effective. If chips and small logs are first lit, the fire will burn up to 3 times longer.
The logs lying on top will catch fire faster, which creates a high temperature at the top. Large logs when burning will provide maximum output.
Small logs will gradually transfer fire to large ones. The combustion process will proceed slowly but very efficiently. Smoke will come out of all the logs evenly. Those. the fire will not flare up sharply, but will move from one log to another.
Small logs burn faster, large ones, respectively, slower. Also, the size of the logs depends on how much gases they emit.
An armful of aspen logs, laid in this way, burned in my oven for more than 4 hours. The room warmed up very well, I even had to ventilate it a little.
I advise you not to pass by this method. This way you can save up to 70% on the purchase of firewood. An extremely lucrative offer, isn't it?
