Automatic wood-fired heating systems
Wood is something special. Its combustion comprises three phases, as follows. First comes the drying stage at temperatures up to around 150°C during which any water contained in the wood turns to steam. Between 150° and around 600°C the process known as pyrolysis or thermal decomposition takes place whereby the gaseous compounds in the wood are liberated leaving only wood-carbon behind. From
