I recently noticed that there are now heating systems that can burn both pellets and regular firewood. I think that's pretty clever since I live in a rural area and can partly produce the wood myself.
Does anyone have such a heating system at home and can tell me if it’s really effective? Can you burn large logs with it, or does the wood have to be chopped very small?

A firewood-pellet combination boiler is a system that combines a firewood boiler with an integrated pellet burner. Functionally, it operates by automatically switching from firewood to pellet combustion once the firewood has been burned. This means the combination boiler automatically continues operation by transitioning from firewood to pellets.

You do not need to chop the firewood into very small pieces; logs can be used just as you would for a fireplace.

Hi,

We have a pellet heating system and are very satisfied with it. We also live in an area with plenty of forest, so sourcing the wood is not a problem. I got a log splitter, which is used to prepare the firewood logs.

Best regards

My uncle also has a heating system that burns wood. Additionally, a chimney is used, which is quite pleasant. Especially when it is very cold, this warmth is very comfortable, and I love the smell of wood.

There have been some developments in this area as well. We got a combination boiler, and it works excellently. Here, we can burn pellets and firewood very efficiently. I’m glad I no longer have an oil heating system.
