The wood is cut to size and dried. It is then placed in a kiln and heated to between 160°C and 260°C (320°F and 500°F) in the absence of oxygen to prevent burning. This process lasts several hours, followed by a slow cooling period. Moisture is then gradually added to the wood until it reaches between 5% and 7%. This process alters the molecular structure of the wood, making it more resistant to moisture and insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e*Although torrefied wood is commonly used in outdoor applications, we cannot guarantee the durability of this product against weathering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bois \/ Wood","offers":[{"title":"4\/4","offer_id":45259779244211,"sku":"004-028T44","price":6.3,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8\/4","offer_id":45259782586547,"sku":"004-028T84","price":6.79,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/8332\/9971\/files\/Peuplier-tor.jpg?v=1771960505","url":"https:\/\/langevinforest.com\/en\/products\/v-peupliertorrifie","provider":"Langevin Forest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
