Don’t worry, our wood for the open fireplace grows back.
Make yourself comfortable … the chainsaw is only available after training. 😉
Wood is not only a central element in our design, but also a source of romantic hours in front of the open fire.
We have already been busy for this designer fireplace in the living room and have piled up enough “wood in front of the hut” for you . So you don’t have to go out with a chainsaw!
The open fireplace – solid black steel (as a tribute to the Erzberg and the region’s steel production ) – is the central element in the living area. OLIVIA’s fireplace is open on one side – a campfire in the living room.
That’s why barbecuing in the living room – Schmäh ohne, we have regular guests who describe sausage barbecues by the open campfire in the living room as one of the highlights in our vacation homes.
The open fireplace also looks great and provides soothing + romantic warmth
Wood as a fuel – natural, sustainable, good
Advantages of wood as a fuel for open fireplaces
The use of wood as fuel for our open fireplaces offers numerous ecological and economic advantages. Compared to fossil fuels, wood is considered CO2-neutral, as only as much carbon dioxide is released when it is burned as the tree has absorbed during its growth. Sustainable forestry also ensures the continuous availability of wood. In addition, the use of local wood creates jobs and contributes to regional value creation.
Wood – but the right way
Wood as a fuel is available in different varieties, including logs, wood briquettes and pellets. Common types of wood such as birch, beech, spruce, pine and fir offer different calorific values.
Our open fireplaces love beech logs and light your fire with kindling from our spruce trees.
Firewood can be obtained by self-supply in the forest or by purchasing ready-to-burn wood. Various units of measurement such as solid cubic meters, cubic meters and bulk cubic meters are used when buying and should be taken into account depending on the seller. Drying and storing logs is crucial for efficient combustion. The logs – especially for open fireplaces – must be stored in a well-ventilated area and protected from rain in order to achieve an optimum moisture content of 15 to 20 percent. The storage time varies depending on the type of wood and the ventilation of the storage location and should be one to two years. Before using the wood, the moisture content should be checked to ensure efficient combustion.
Our wood is stored for at least 2 years in a well-ventilated area and is primarily made of beech wood and spruce wood (for lighting).
