We escaped beautiful, finally, my wife especially!
My wife had just loaded the stove with nut shells to have some logs taken. It was then that the gas and smoke accumulated in it caught fire, well no, literally exploded in a deafening noise! The door opened on pressure, deforming the lock that closed it. If the latter had been made of hardened steel instead of mild steel, I dare not imagine the result. She was standing right in front. Fortunately, the glass did not break, it would have been minced ...
Like what, heating with wood is not without dangers!

Re: We escaped beautiful, finally, my wife especially!
This often happens to me when I load cardboard boxes or paper with my stove already hot ... explosion ... after x minutes ... it's not systematic but I must have ten a year ...
Mine is a classic model very heavy cast iron (140 kg jcrois) therefore impossible to open the door ...

Christophe just mentioned it, but that's the question I wanted to ask: was the stove still hot, possibly with some residual embers, or was it completely cold?
It happened to me once from a "still hot" state, but without great consequences.

Residual embers, not very hot stove. I think that what remained of the walnut pieces in the hulls created a "greasy" gas and that the saturation of the hearth and the duct created a draft causing the explosion. But damn it, it was impressive. The cats didn't come back (literally).
The pin on this lock was completely bent!

Not sure about leftover nuts, but good.
Your stove has switched to "gasifier" mode because there was no flame to "ignite" the volatile materials that were released from the fuels under the effect of the residual heat.
In the industry, this is called a "boiler pouf". it can be devastating.
The standards (NFPA for example, which although American refer to everywhere) impose a fairly long sweep (1 / 2h of memory) of the boiler in air before restarting a restart following a stop, to be sure that there is no accumulation of unburnt gases.

Re: We escaped beautiful, finally, my wife especially!
When I had a reverse combustion wood boiler, if I opened the loading door when the fuel load was not almost completely burned, it was systematic, since I introduced air (therefore oxygen) in a mass of gas at ignition temperature ...

Hello,
A bad draft, a counter draft due to a VMC or an insufficient outside air intake? Has your stuv30 been installed correctly? http://www.duvivier.be/medias/documents ... 181658.pdf
