What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burning stoves can be an efficient and cost-effective method of heating homes and businesses. They also help reduce the dependence on fossil fuels that are non-renewable and help in implementing a sustainable energy strategy.

To ensure efficient burning for efficient burning, it is crucial to use well-seasoned wood. Unseasoned or green wood can have a higher moisture content which can create creosote and slow down performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners have been in use for many years. They are an energy efficient and eco-friendly method of heating your home. However, the design of OWBs, which promotes a slow, cooler fire, causes poor combustion and more smoke, creosote and particulates. These unburned fuels could lead to health problems, fire hazards and degrade the environment.

Furthermore the visible plume of smoke that OWBs produce could cause neighbors to voice their concerns and result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) enforcement action. This kind of public relations issue could have a serious impact on the value of your property and could result in your OWB being shut down.

Crown Royal Stoves has a range of outdoor wood furnaces that are EPA Certified. The Pristine Gasification Series uses technology to maximize combustion efficiency and create smokeless, clean burning. This is achieved through a negative pressure air system that pulls in fresh, dry, heated, filtered air from the bottom and then pushes it out through the chimney much faster than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is accomplished by an exclusive design that uses a multi-pass water filled heat exchanger made from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

If properly used when properly used, when properly used, the Pristine Gasification Series OWB can reach a 99% combustion efficiency for a cleaner, smoke-free fire that consumes less wood and generates significantly fewer emissions than traditional OWBs. It is essential to use dry, clean, and seasoned wood in order to maximize the performance of your OWB. Seasoning your wood for 6 months or more prior to burning is recommended. This will ensure a more efficient, more energy efficient burn.

In addition to increasing the efficiency of your wood burner it is also possible to increase its efficiency by performing a "dry burn" every week. This method lowers the amount of creosote in your home which improves boiler efficiency and prolongs the life of your boiler. Additionally, by adding a creosote-removing stick every time you load your stove, you will be able to significantly reduce the amount creosote used. The product is available from Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

A wood-burning stove can become very dirty from burnt soot particles. They are difficult to remove so make sure you remove any buildup from your stove's glass immediately. In the event that the soot is not removed, it will harden and be even more difficult to get rid of. It's important to use the right cleaners, but you should also be careful not to scratch the glass with anything that could scratch it. This could result in a weak point that will break glass when exposed to high temperatures.

Be sure to allow your wood burner to cool completely before cleaning it. Also, be sure that the surrounding area is covered with newspaper. This will stop any spillage of ash which could stain and mark surfaces.

It can take up to one year for your stove's seasoning to be complete, depending on the quality of wood you use. The wood that is treated with a seasoned finish will not only burn more efficiently, but will also produce less creosote. This is the kind of material that accumulates on your chimney, which reduces efficiency and creating an hazard for fire. If you're using unseasoned wood or are just beginning a fire in your outdoor fireplace, it's recommended to open the lower backdoor, and scoop out the ashes into a non-combustible container every week.

It is also recommended to perform an annual sediment flush on your boiler at a minimum every four years. This involves a simple five-second flush from the drain valve of your boiler. This will eliminate any debris that has accumulated inside the system and keep your boiler in great operating condition.

After you have cleaned the Outside wood burners of your fireplace outside It is now time to clean it. Before you begin, make sure to cover the stove's perimeter with newspaper. Wearing protective eyewear and gloves is also a good idea. You should also have a ash canister made of metal as well as a scraping tool and shovel. You can use a cloth for a shield to protect the refractory as you scrape away coal and ash deposits.

Easy to operate

Despite their popularity (they were one of the 1990s' "it" trends, as were mullet haircuts) outdoor wood boilers, also known as outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heaters are frequently misunderstood. In contrast to their EPA-approved counterparts, popular cheap wood burning stoves stoves which are designed to burn at constant, low temperatures, these boilers have more fire and generate more smoke when operating. Some local governments limit or ban their use.

OWBs are best suited to homes that have high levels of insulation. The visible, outside wood burners smoldering smoke is also a cause of complaints from neighbors, and has led to many OWBs being shut down or sued in the past. To allow OWBs to function properly, they must be used with dry wood that has low moisture content. Green or unseasoned wood can reduce efficiency, cause creosote to accumulate, and shorten the lifespan of the burner. Drying wood takes time and outside wood burners an instrument to measure moisture is a must for any homeowner.

Dual-stage small wood burning stove gasification (OWGB) boilers, on the other hand, use a three-step process that utilizes more of the energy available in the wood. This results in less smoke. These furnaces are more efficient than traditional OWBs and can be used to fuel a wide range of fuels. Wood gasification boilers require dry well-seasoned wood. Most wood can be seasoned within a year, but oak and other hardy species can take two years or more to fully season. They are less water-based and have a denser mass. This allows them to hold heat for longer, increasing efficiency and decreasing pollution. The EPA "Burn Wise" website and Cornell Cooperative Extension are great sources for homeowners to learn how to efficiently burn wood in order minimize air pollution.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood furnaces are designed with the environment in mind. In contrast to indoor wood burners which emit significant smoke Modern outdoor furnaces burn cleanly and without the production of excessive carbon monoxide or heat. They also require less wood to generate the same amount of heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor wood burners require less maintenance and are more forgiving of wood moisture content than indoor conservatory wood burner burning stoves. Outdoor wood burners are only suitable for wood that has been properly "cured" or seasoned. This can take a year or more for some types of wood. It is important to use a moisture meter to determine the amount of water of your wood before loading.

During operation, it is essential to check the system regularly for the build-up of creosote. Creosote is a byproduct of combustion that can build up in the chimney and flue if it is not cleaned frequently. It can be eliminated using a creosote removal solution that is poured into the flame. Regular cleaning of the flue and chimney will eliminate dangerous creosote accumulations and improve efficiency.

In order to attain 99% efficiency in combustion, Crown Royal Stoves designed a new air flow technology called Negative Pressure Gasification. Our EPA certified Pristine Series outdoor wood furnaces utilize this technology to pull air from the bottom, forcing all gasses through an insulated water surrounded secondary combustion chamber that is easy to clean turbines for a smokeless and pollution free burn.
