• The smoke outlet from the outside may be blocked from sooth. This can occur after chimney
sweeping. Control the smoke outlet.
• The used amount of wood may have been too small. Therefore, the embers were too weak and cold
to light the next load of wood.
3.5 Recommended fuels
3.5.1 Wood and wood briquettes
Wood that has been stored indoors has a tendency to become too dry and will burn too quickly. We
recommend that you fell the wood in the winter, when a lot of the moisture in the wood will have been drawn
down into the roots. In order to achieve optimum combustion, the wood’s moisture level should not exceed
18 %, which roughly corresponds to storing the wood under cover outdoors for one year. The moisture level
of the wood can be measured using a moisture meter or by applying washing up liquid to one end of the log
and blowing air in the other end. If the wood is dry enough, soap bubbles will appear. The wood should be
chopped into logs with a diameter of approx. 10 cm and a log length of max. 39 cm.
Correct firing provides optimum heat output and maximum economy. At the same time, correct firing
prevents environmental damage in the form of smoke and malodorous fumes and also reduces the risk of
chimney fires. Well-seasoned wood fuel is essential for correct use. Make sure your fuel is kept dry. If the
fuel is wet, a large proportion of the heat will be used to vaporize the water, and this energy will disappear up
the chimney. It is clearly not only uneconomical to fire with wet fuel but also, as mentioned above, increases
the risk of producing soot, smoke and other environmentally damaging by-products.
Burning varnished wood, impregnated wood, chipboard, paper and other waste is strictly forbidden. Burning
these materials will damage the environment, the Aduro H2 and your own health. Fossil fuels must not be
used.
3.5.2 Pellets
You can only use Ø6 mm pellets with a maximum length of 40 mm – type ENplus quality A1. We recommend
that you use pellets of a good quality – and preferably bright pellets instead of dark pellets. The quality of the
wooden pellets has a direct influence on the noise level, the efficiency, and the cleaning interval of the stove.
It is important that the pellets are kept dry, as moist pellets can reduce the nominal heat output by up to 50%.
When the firing season is coming to an end, it is important to completely remove all pellets from the pellet
container and the augers. If you don't do this, material damage can occur when you start using the stove
again.
At our website www.adurofire.com/aduro-hybrid you can find more information.
The brazier must not be removed during use with either wood nor pellets
(doesn’t apply when conducting a fast cleaning under the brazier to clean out
ash and cinders). Never use wood with nails and other objects that can damage
the auger carrying the pellets. Never place pellets in the combustion chamber.
Pellets must be supplied from the pellet container.
