Stove Woods

Large pieces of coniferous wood, unserviceable in the wood-working industry and widely applicable for heating energy production. Stove wood is less efficient than fuel briquettes and wood pellets. As they have lower density characteristics and higher moisture percentage content. Concurrently, they show lower hygroscopic characteristics, and tolerant to less stringent storage conditions, which is a significant advantage.
Also worth noting is that the production of stove wood tends to be technologically more simple, therefore the price for this type of fuel is on average lower than for more difficult-to-make pellets and briquettes. The specific heat capacity value of conifers is higher than that of deciduous trees; lower density of the timber counter-balances in a way this advantage. But on the whole, such firewood has good heat capacity value and does nicely for development of heat. In comparison with other types of fuel, the advantage of stove wood is that they belong to the so-called renewable energy sources.
