Wood as a natural fuel stands for pleasant warmth and sustainability. Due to economic crises, it has increasingly come to the fore for many consumers in recent years. Fireplaces and tiled stoves are heated comparatively cheaply and fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas are spared. But what is still new for many users of firewood: The natural fuel can also be used for other everyday and special purposes.

Depending on the type of wood such as birch, oak, ash, beech, there are other uses. You will be surprised how versatile your firewood stock can be used.
