HEATING
Controlled combustion is the most efficient technique for wood heating because it enables
you to select the type of combustion you want for each given situation. The wood will burn
slowly if the wood stove air intake control is adjusted to reduce the oxygen supply in the
combustion chamber to a minimum. On the other hand, wood will burn quickly if the air
control is adjusted to admit a larger quantity of oxygen in the combustion chamber. The
air intake control on your stove is very simple. If you pull on it out completely towards you,
it is fully open. If you push on it until it stops the combustion air is reduced to a minimum.
Your DROLET stove burnt between .954 kg\h et 2.556 kg\h. of wood during EPA testing.
Real operating conditions may give very different results than those obtained in the lab
according to the species of wood used, its moisture content, the size and density of the
pieces, the length of the chimney, altitude and outside temperature.
