Caboose - A Very Small Wood Burner

The Caboose is an Ecodesign and DEFRA approved log burner which is able to burn smokeless and wood. It can burn larger pieces of wood, compared to small stoves, and also has a high heat output and burn time.

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

Clean Wood

Wood stoves are not only stunning to look at, they also offer a wonderful source of heating for homes. They need to be looked after properly to ensure that they operate smoothly and efficiently. This can be a bit of a challenge especially when it is about keeping the glass clean but a few simple steps can make a huge difference.

First foremost, it is essential to only use the wood that has been seasoned in your wood stove. It must be cut into pieces and stored for at least one year prior to using to reduce the amount of smoke. The burning of wood that is not seasoned can cause the flue to overheat. This could result in the fire bursting out of control or even causing the chimney to catch fire.

You should also only burn clean wood on your wood-burning stove. Avoid burning paper or other non-wood products like plastics or rubber because they release toxic fumes which are bad for your health. Burning treated or painted wood may release harmful chemicals, such as arsenic that is harmful for your health.

It is also recommended to regularly clean the interior of your stove. It's easy to do so by using a regular vacuum cleaner with an attachment for a brush. You can also buy various cleaners specifically designed for use on glass stoves. However, it is important to ensure that any product you choose to use will not invalidate the warranty of your stove prior to using it.

It is also important to regularly inspect the fire rope seals around the doors at the top and bottom of your wood burner. These seals are designed to stop smoke or soot from getting out of the stove and are crucial to ensure that they are securely in position and not damaged.

The last thing to do is you should get rid of any birds that have settled on your chimney. Seagulls are a nuisance because they can be a nuisance to chimneys during summer. This can cause all sorts of debris to fall in the flue and cause damage to your stove. There are a variety of different spikes and bird guards available for sale that can be put on your chimney to stop this from occurring.

Paper Burning

Burning paper is a quick way to get an fire going, however the wrong kind of paper could cause dangerous smoke. Some types of paper like glossy magazines or gift wrap contain toxic chemicals that release toxic fumes when burnt. Make sure to burn only clean paper on your modern wood burner stove to avoid creating a hazardous environment.

You might want to consider using a tub if you only have a tiny amount of paper to burn. Place a stack of papers over the tub and then light the corner wood burner. The water will capture the embers and prevent them from igniting nearby trees or grass. If you're concerned about the smell, you can place a bowl of baking soda or vinegar around to neutralize the smell.

To ensure that the paper burns properly Start with a small base of twigs or shredded newspaper. Add 3-4 medium-sized logs of wood and let them burn. Next, layer the paper over the tinder. The paper will quickly burn and it is crucial to stay close and watch the flame as it burns.

It is recommended to burn your papers outdoors on the day there is no wind. A strong wind gust could blow embers across the grass or directly onto your home. Furthermore, the smoke of burning papers could cause breathing issues when inhaled.

You can also make use of the BBQ grill to burn paper, but this method is ideal if you only have just a few sheets of paper to burn. If you have a removable grilling surface, you can remove it and burn the paper directly on the charcoal.

Before you begin burning paper, make sure that your wood burner is functioning and that the pit is clear of branches, twigs and other flammable materials. In case in an emergency, it's a good idea also to keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Also, consult with your local government and your homeowners association to ensure that it is legal to burn papers outdoors in your area.

Safety Precautions

Wood burning stoves can be an excellent source of relaxation and comfort but only if you utilize them in a safe manner. While it may seem to some as if it's obvious but the reality is that many people do not follow the basic safety precautions.

Make sure your stove is well insulated, and that any pipes that connect to the outside are protected. It is also important to ensure that any children or pets are kept away from the stove.

Ensure that any paper and trash is not thrown into the fireplace. The burning of these items could cause the chimney and fireplace to overheat. They also can produce creosote, which is a fire hazard that needs to be cleaned up regularly.

Check the smoke alarms and test them every month. Installing carbon monoxide detectors can also save lives. They are also affordable.

Always keep a fire extinguisher within reach in case in the event of an emergency. Always burn only dry, seasoned logs and don't build a stack of logs that is too large. A pile of logs burning together will result in a lack of combustion, which increases CO emissions. It is important to monitor and control the fire. If it becomes too much, it should be extinguished immediately.

When you have finished using your stove, make sure the fire is out and that all combustible materials are removed from the area around the fireboxes as well as flue pipes. There are certain clearance requirements that will depend on the stove's model and on how you plan to install it in your home.

If you are planning to install your indoor wood burner stove in a smoke controlled area, you should consider a DEFRA-approved model. These stoves are specifically designed to operate in smoke-controlled areas. They are available in a range of sizes and colors. Some models can be customised to match your style and have direct air intakes designed for better performance in smoke controlled zones.

Installation

Wood stoves are a popular choice for heating small areas. They can be placed in sheds, yurts and even cabins. They also provide a warm and cozy fire without the use of oil or electricity. To ensure that you are able to correctly install your wood stove, it is essential to follow the installation instructions of the manufacturer. These guidelines will ensure that your conservatory wood burner stove is safe and can use it without any issues.

Before installing your stove, clear the surrounding area of any materials that could ignite. Also, make sure that you have at minimum 16" of clearance from the stove to the closest wall that is combustible. If you do not meet these requirements then a stove board or hearth pad could be put in place. This non-combustible pad will come with 1" spacers that will help the stove sit a little further away from the wall, which can reduce the clearance requirement by up to 66%.

You should also take out the furniture and curtains to prevent smoke from blowing into the room. Install a carbon monoxide alarm in your shed. Lastly, you should make sure that there is enough ventilation in the shed. It is crucial to regularly inspect your stove and chimney to ensure security.

It is a smart idea to buy a wood stove that has EPA certification. This certification indicates that the stove is more than 75 percent efficient, which means it will capture and convert more heat from the wood than it expels. You should also select your wood stove in accordance with the recommended heating capacity of the room where it will be placed. This will ensure that you do not risk overloading your stove, which could cause creosote accumulation and smokeouts.

After you have cleared the space and removed all combustible material, you will need to make the foundations of your stove. This involves taking out all combustibles and preparing the hearth. Also, you should check for any vents in place to ensure they are not blocked and clear. You'll need to install vents if they are not functioning properly.

After you have set up your stove, you should test its capabilities by lighting three or four small fires. This will cure the paint and fire bricks that are on your stove and also ensure that you can safely light an enormous fire.
