What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burners are a cost-effective method of heating homes and businesses. They also help reduce the dependence on fossil fuels that are non-renewable and contribute towards a resilient energy strategy.

Wood that is well-seasoned is crucial for efficient burning. Green or unseasoned wood may have a higher moisture content that can cause creosote to accumulate and reduce performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners (OWBs) have been around for a long time and are an extremely green and efficient method of heating your home. The design of OWBs encourages a slower, cooler fire which results in less efficient combustion and a higher amount of smoke and creosote. These unburned fuels could cause health problems, fire hazards and degrade the environment.

Additionally the visible smoke plume OWBs produce can cause neighbors to complain. This could lead to DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) taking enforcement action. This kind of public relations issue could cause serious damage to the value of your property, and could even 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 an unburned, clean and smoke-free. This is accomplished by using a negative pressure air system that pulls fresh hot, dry and filtered air from the bottom of the boiler and pushes it out through the chimney at a much higher rate than conventional outdoor wood boilers. This is achieved by an exclusive design that uses an incredibly efficient multi-pass water-filled heat exchanger made of 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

If properly used when properly used, when properly used, the Pristine Gasification Series OWB can reach an efficiency of 99% to create a cleaner, smokeless fire that uses less wood and produces less emissions than traditional OWBs. It is important to burn only dry, clean and seasoned wood in order to maximize the performance of your OWB. It is recommended to season your wood for a minimum of six months or one year prior to burning it. This will result in the most efficient and clean burn.

In addition to increasing the efficiency of your wood burner, you can also improve its efficiency by executing the "dry burn" every week. This method eliminates creosote accumulation, makes your boiler running efficiently and increases its lifespan. In addition by adding a creosote remover stick every when you load your stove, you will be able to drastically cut the amount of creosote that you use. This product is available from Wisconsin wood burning fireplace Furnace.

Clean

A wood-burning stove could be very small wood burner dirty due to burnt soot particles. They are difficult to remove and therefore, you must remove any buildup from the glass of your stove immediately. In the event that the soot is not removed, it will get harder and become more difficult to remove. Using the right cleaners for the job is crucial and you should also make sure you're not damaging the surface of the glass with anything that might scratch it. This could leave an area of weakness that could break the glass when exposed to extreme temperatures.

Before you begin cleaning your wood burner, you must ensure that it is not lit and completely cool. Also, be sure that the area around it is covered with newspaper. This will prevent any spillage of ash that can stain and mark surfaces.

It could take up to one year for the seasoning of your stove to be complete, based on the quality of the wood you select. The wood that has been treated with a seasoned finish will not only burn more efficiently, but also produce less creosote. This is the kind of material that builds up on your chimney, decreasing its efficiency and posing an hazard for fire. If you are using unseasoned wood or just starting a new fire in your outdoor wood burner the best thing you can do is to open the back door to the lower part and scoop out the ashes into a non-combustible container each week.

A sediment flush should be carried out on your boiler every four years. This is a straightforward flush lasting five seconds from the drain valve on your boiler. This will remove any sediments that have accumulated in the system and ensure that your boiler is operating efficiently.

After you have cleaned the exterior of your fireplace that is outside, it is time to clean it. Before starting, it's important to cover the floor area around the stove with newspaper. It is also advisable to wear gloves and protective eyewear. You should also have an ash container, a shovel container for ash and scraping tools. You can use a cloth as an insulator to shield the refractory from damage while you take off coal and ash deposits.

Simple to Operate

Despite their popularity (they were one of the 1990s' "it" trends, along with mullet haircuts) outdoor wood boilers, also referred to as outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heaters are often misunderstood. They're different from the popular EPA wood woodburning stoves, which are made to burn low temperatures continuously. They are able to produce a higher rate of burning and generate more smoke. This is why a few local governments have a policy of regulating or banning their use.

OWBs work best in homes that have high levels of insulation. The smoldering, dense visible smoke can also be a source of complaints from neighbors and has led to many OWBs being shut down or sued in the past. In order for OWBs to operate properly they should be operated with dry wood that has low moisture content. Green or unseasoned wood can reduce efficiency, cause creosote build-up and decrease the life of the burner. Drying wood can take time and an instrument to measure moisture is a must for any homeowner.

Dual-stage wood gasification (OWGB) boilers are, on the other hand utilize a three-step process that makes use of more energy in the wood. This means less smoke. These kinds of furnaces are far more efficient than traditional OWBs and can be used with a wider variety of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry, well-seasoned firewood. Most wood can be seasoned within a year, however oak and other species that are hardy can take two years or more to fully season. This is because they have less water content and denser mass. This allows them to retain heat longer, thus increasing efficiency and reduce pollution. The EPA "Burn Wise" website and Cornell Cooperative Extension are great sources for homeowners to learn how to burn wood efficiently in order minimize air pollution.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood furnaces have been designed with the environment in mind. Unlike indoor wood burner (try what she says) wood burners that produce significant smoke Modern outdoor furnaces burn cleanly without the release of excessive carbon monoxide or heat. They also require less wood to provide the same amount of heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor wood burners require significantly less maintenance than indoor wood burners, and are more tolerant in regards to the moisture content of the wood. Outdoor wood burners are suitable for wood that has been properly "cured" or seasoned. Certain kinds of wood can take up to a full year. It is crucial to utilize a moisture gauge to determine the amount of water of your wood prior to loading.

In the course of operation, it is crucial to check the system regularly to check for accumulation of creosote. Creosote is a by-product of combustion, can accumulate in the chimney and flue if they are not cleaned regularly. It can be eliminated by pouring a creosote-removing product into the fire. Regular cleaning of the chimney and flue will remove dangerous creosote, and boost efficiency.

To get 99% efficiency from combustion, Crown Royal Stoves designed a new air flow technology known as Negative Pressure Gasification. This technology is used in our EPA certified Pristine Series Outdoor wood burning stove in conservatory Furnaces to draw air from the bottom and push all gases through an enclosed secondary combustion chamber that is that is surrounded by water and easy-to-clean turbines. The result is a smokeless and pollutant free burn.
