-- At the top, a tip is formed from two logs and
two transverse logs, with an igniter inside (which
is made of wood wool being soaked in wax)
-- After lighting the wood wool wax igniter, the
fire burns from top to bottom
-- This fire burns much more effectively because
each new burning process "is passing" the already
existing flame
-- the fire burns WITHOUT smoke.
The article (translation):
<Especially in
winter, a crackling fire in the fireplace is
extremely cozy. A video that the Canton of St.
Gallen recently unearthed shows how to do it
correctly.
Make a fire without smoke! The canton of St.
Gallen (
link
(German)) shows on its website a method
by which it is possible to significantly
reduce pollutant emissions. It is not brand
new, but it is still very effective. That's
why the video was dug up again. With this
technology (video above) there is much less
fine dust and the wood fire is much more
environmentally friendly.
The smoke formation during the lighting phase
is reduced and no visible smoke escapes over
the entire burning process. The firewood burns
from top to bottom like a candle. As a result,
it burns more slowly and the combustion
process can be better controlled and steered.
This firing method is suitable for systems
such as
chimneys, stoves with chimney,
tiled stoves or central log fires with
smoke extraction at the top. This
requires four dry fir logs with a
cross-section of around three by three
centimeters and a length of around 20
centimeters. In addition, an ignition aid made
of wood wool soaked in wax, for example, is
required.
Thats how it works
On the firewood that has been piled up, the
four logs are placed as a pile of wood with
crossed logs. The firing aid is placed in the
center of the pile of wood with crossed logs.
Then just the ignition aid has to be lit and
all the fire will burn from top to bottom
alone. More instruction see the video.
