Good burning practice will save you money on wood, keep your home warm and cosy, and minimise smoke from your chimney that can cause unhealthy air pollution.
Check out the videos below for tips on using your wood burner or ultra low emission burner (ULEB), as well as making sure your wood is dry. Burning wet wood is much less efficient and contributes to air pollution problems in Otago. You can check the moisture level of wood with a wood moisture reader. These are available at most home hardware stores.
We have more info and tips on our firewood page.
