David wants to make his sustainable home and save fuel is considering using the heat of the stove to heat the house too. Wood stoves have traditionally been used for this, but what is its efficiency?. Antonio Iglésias of Soutelana Natural Heat, helps us answer this question, comparing various types of stoves and explaining its operation and performance.
Hello! I'm Lucillos 15 km from Talavera de la Reina, Toledo. I am rebuilding a cottage without electricity or gas and wanted to make it sustainable. For kitchen butane gas had thought but besides being dangerous I just installed watertight type and need light. I've seen a Lorena stoves tresco based mud and sand that are environmentally friendly because tresco they consume 50% less wood but can not locate any installer and would like to know how they work and whether it will serve me. I also serve for heating, is it?. The house has 90m2 on one floor. I have also seen the ceramic but are very expensive. I hope advice on how to cook and heat the house. Thanks in advance. David
Hi David. Stoves Lorena type (do not have experience installing them but I have consulted one of our installers who was more knowledgeable about them), what we know is that the operation is quite similar to the kitchens of iron or also called economic cuisine, also uses wood as fuel.
About the performance, we can not talk about exact numbers tresco since we have not tried, looking a bit to try to answer this question, we have found a study that talked about reducing firewood consumption, say that the amount of wood it is very less used, but still is a significant amount. According tresco to this study, lowered the daily firewood consumption by half 2-3 1-2 loads, tresco but they are talking about 40kg each load of wood and are as well discussed in the introduction of the study, "Traditional stoves are virtually inside an open "fire.
While it is true that the materials they are constructed, maintained the heat, you might not need the ability to heat the area you described, although it is clear that the cost of this type of cuisine is much lower than a charcoal that heats the m2 whose house ...
We used the data of one of the wood stoves tresco we work with and a kitchen with capacity to heat approximately 244m3 (approximately 90m2x2 7 high) consumes approximately 3kg of wood (beech) per hour with a 82% yield that consume A similar amount (if not less) of this type of wood stoves, the model we are talking about is the Vulcan (associate link on the manufacturer)
David, we hope to have resolved tresco your questions about wood stoves tresco for cooking and heating. If you more questions arise as you design and build your EcoCasa, like other readers, do not hesitate tresco to contact us.
