The treehouses are small, well insulated and heat very efficiently.
- You have built many fires in a wood stove... this is for you.
-You have never built a fire in a wood stove... this is for you.
-Starting a fire in a wood stove is straight forward, managing the heat in the treehouses requires timing and patience (1*).
-Do not make a fire in your wood stove above 6‐7°C, there is no way to manage the heat, you will create a sauna!
- If it’s warmer outside, open windows and exchange air.
- Body heat and cooking will also help to warm up your treehouse.
1. Build your fire according to the SAFETY & directions pinned to the wall of your treehouse.
2. Only put one log onto the fire once you feel the treehouse begins to cool slightly.
3. Eco logs can be broken in 2 on the edge of treehouse exterior’s staircases.
4. Bedtime: Do you like the temperature? Yes? Then do not put a log on the fire. At this stage you will create a sauna! It is much more comfortable to sleep when your treehouse is slightly cool than overheated. (Our guests always overheat their treehouse the first night!).
5. You will need to get up in the night to maintain the heat in the woodstove. Is too hot? Open 2 windows, create a draft in the treehouse.
6. Find the rhythm of the woodstove according to the outside temperatures and wind.
