Ah thank you for clarifying, I had not found!

Why the job in particular?

I use free newspapers and dried citrus peel on the stove beforehand ... There is an oil in it which makes beautiful flames!

The bark of work burns like a cloth soaked in petroleum.

[Christophe]

Like citrus peels then

Like citrus peels then

About orange peels, look at this:

[Christophe]

Oh yes ! There is energy in oranges and not only in the pulp!


Laigret already said that it was citrus fruits which gave one of the best yields via its process, I only found this message which speaks about it: https://www.econologie.com/forums/post100060.html#100060

at work i don't have bark

and birch it doesn't grow around my house

to light the fire I have what it takes whatever the wood used: when the fire goes out there is always wood not finished burning: it is charcoal

I have an electric blower: I put a piece of flaming paper and charcoal on it: in a few seconds it makes a real forge fire on which I can put as much wood as I want

[Christophe]

Uh if you have charcoal left, the stove (or the wood for that matter) has a problem ... or is of obsolete design ... or that the printout was closed at 100% ... in short that the combustion did not go well ...

Normally everything is supposed to burn ... in a good stove ...

Am mistaken?
