kodukütuses

Kodukütus is a term used in Estonia to refer to a type of fuel primarily used for domestic heating. It encompasses a range of combustible materials burned in stoves, furnaces, and boilers to provide warmth for residential buildings. Historically, and still commonly, wood in various forms such as logs, wood chips, and pellets is a prevalent form of kodukütus. This is often due to its availability and traditional use in rural areas.

In addition to wood, other fuels can be considered kodukütus. These might include coal, peat, and manufactured briquettes. In more modern contexts, heating oil and natural gas, when used for residential heating systems, can also fall under this broad definition, although they are often categorized separately due to their different delivery and combustion methods. The choice of kodukütus often depends on economic factors, availability, environmental considerations, and the type of heating appliance installed in a home. The efficiency and cleanliness of burning different types of kodukütus are ongoing areas of development and public interest in Estonia.
