Caboose - A Very Small Wood Burner

The Caboose log burner has been approved by DEFRA and Ecodesign. It can burn wood or smokeless fuel. It can hold larger pieces of wood than most small stoves and boasts an impressive burn time and heat output.

It can also be shielded with a heatshield to comply with Approved Document J Building Regulations, which requires wood stoves to be kept at least 150mm away from combustible surfaces on all sides.

Clean Wood

Wood stoves not only look stunning, but they're also a great method to heat your home. To ensure that they work efficiently and effectively they must be maintained in a proper manner. It can be a bit of an issue to keep the glass in good condition. However, a few simple tips can make a big difference.

First of all, it is important to only burn the wood that has been seasoned in your wood stove. This means that it must have been chopped and stored for at minimum a year prior to use to help reduce the amount of smoke. Burning unseasoned wood can cause the flue to overheat, which could lead to an uncontrollable fire that is out of control or even causing the chimney to catch fire.

You should also only burn clean wood on your wood-burning stove. Avoid paper or other non-wood materials, such as plastics and rubber, because they can release toxic fumes that are not healthy for your health. Burning treated or painted wood may release harmful chemicals like arsenic that is harmful for your health.

You should also clean your stove's interior regularly. This can be done quite easily using a regular household vacuum cleaner as well as a brush attachment. You can also buy a variety of cleaners designed specifically to be used on stove glass However, it is crucial to check that any product you select will not void the warranty on your stove prior to using it.

Finally, it is important to regularly inspect the fire rope seals that surround the doors at the top and bottom of your wood burner. These seals prevent smoke or soot from leaving the stove and are crucial to make sure that they are firmly in position and not damaged.

Another thing to remember is to periodically remove any birds that have a nest on your chimney. Seagulls pose a particular threat and will often perch on chimneys throughout the summer months, leading to all manner of debris being dumped into the flue, which could damage your stove. You can add various bird guards and spikes to your chimney in order to avoid this.

Paper Burning

The right paper will not only start a fire quickly, but can also release dangerous smoke. Some types of paper like gift wrap and glossy magazines contain harmful chemicals that can emit toxic fumes when they burn. To keep your home safe from creating an unsafe environment, only burn clean paper in your cast iron wood burning stove burner.

If you only have some pieces of paper to burn, you might consider using a tub. Place a stack of papers on top of a tub and light one corner. The water will catch the embers, preventing them from burning nearby grass or trees. If you are worried about the smell of burning paper, you can put a bowl full of baking soda or vinegar near to neutralize the smell.

To ensure that the paper burns properly, start with a small base of twigs or newspaper that has been shredded. Then add 3-4 medium-sized logs to the fire and let them start to burn. Then, place the paper over the tinder. The paper will begin to burn quickly It is therefore important to stay close and observe the flame as it burns.

It is a good idea to choose a wind-free day to burn papers outside. A strong wind gust could blow embers across the grass or directly onto your home. Inhaling smoke from burning paper can cause breathing problems.

You can also make use of a BBQ grill to ignite paper, but this method is recommended for those with only a few sheets of paper to burn. If you have a removable grilling surface you can remove it and then burn the paper directly on the charcoal.

Before you begin to burn paper, make sure that your wood burner is functional and that the fire pit has been cleared of branches, twigs and other flammable materials. It is also a good idea to keep an extinguisher for fire in the vicinity in case of an emergency. Also, make sure to check with your county government as well as your homeowner's association to confirm that it is legal to burn paper outside in your area.

Safety Precautions

Wood burning stoves can provide hours of comfort and pleasure However, that pleasure is only achievable if you take the necessary steps to use them safely. It may appear obvious to some but the reality is that too many people do not follow basic safety precautions.

Make sure that your stove is properly protected and insulated, and that all pipes that lead to the outside are secured. You should also make sure that pets and children are kept away from the stove.

Make sure that any paper or trash is not left in the fireplace. The chimney and woodburning fireplace could overheat if the items are ignited. They can also cause creosote which is a serious fire hazard and needs to be cleaned on a regular basis.

Make sure to check the smoke alarms and test them every month. Installing carbon monoxide detectors can also save lives. They are also inexpensive.

Always keep a fire extinguisher in reach in the event in the event of an emergency. Always burn only dry, seasoned logs, and do not build a pile of logs that are too big. Burning a pile of logs together results in incomplete combustion, which can lead to increased CO emissions. It is crucial to monitor and manage the fire. If it becomes too much it must be put out immediately.

After you have finished using your stove, make certain that the fire is dead out and that all combustible items have been cleared from around the flue pipe and firebox. The requirements for clearance will differ according to the model of your stove as well as the way you plan to install the stove inside your home.

If you're planning to install your wood stove in a smoke controlled area, you should consider a DEFRA-approved model. These stoves have been designed to work in smoke-controlled areas. They come in various sizes and colours. Certain models can be customized to match your style and also have a direct air intake designed for improved performance in smoke-controlled zones.

Installation

Wood stoves are a popular choice to heat small spaces. They can be placed in sheds, yurts and even cabins. They also offer a warm, comfortable fire without the use of electricity or oil. To correctly install your wood stove, it is important to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions. These guidelines can help you avoid risky issues, and ensure that your stove is safe to use.

Before installing your stove, clean the surrounding area of any materials that could ignite. Also, ensure that you have at minimum 16" of space between the stove and the nearest combustible wall. If you are not able to meet these requirements, you can install a hearth pad or stove board. This non-combustible pad will come with 1" spacers to allow the stove to be positioned further away from the wall which could reduce the clearance requirement by as much as 66 percent.

To prevent smoke from escaping back into the room, you should also remove combustible items like curtains and furniture. Install a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm in your shed. Additionally, you should make sure that there is enough ventilation in the shed. It is important to check your stove regularly and chimney to ensure safety.

It is a good idea to purchase a wood stove that is EPA certified. This means that the stove is more than 75 percent efficient. It means that it can capture and convert more of heat produced by the wood. You should also select your wood stove in accordance with the recommended heating capacity of the room where it will be placed. This will prevent overloading your stove, which could cause creosote accumulation and smokeouts.

After you have cleared out the space and removed all combustible material then you must make the foundations of your stove. This includes removing all combustible items and making the hearth ready. Also, you should check for any vents that are in use to make sure they are clear and open. You will need to install vents if the ones you have aren't working.

After installing your stove, test its capabilities by lighting three or four small fires. This will cure the paint and fire bricks on your stove and will ensure that you are able to safely light an enormous fire.
