What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burning stoves are a cost-effective way to heat homes and businesses. They also reduce dependence on fossil fuels that are not renewable and contribute towards a resilient energy strategy.

A well-seasoned wood is vital for efficient burning. Green or unseasoned wood has higher moisture content and may cause creosote that can reduce performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners (OWBs) have been around for years and are an extremely energy efficient and environmentally friendly method to heat your home. However, the standard design of OWBs, which encourages a slow, cooler fire which causes less combustion and a higher amount of smoke, creosote, and particulates. These unburned fuels can lead to health problems as well as fire hazards, and can also harm the environment.

Moreover the visible smoke puffs that OWBs generate can make neighbors complain. This could lead to DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) taking enforcement action. This type of public relations issue can be a significant impact on the value of your property and may even lead to your OWB being shut down.

Crown Royal Stoves offers a line of EPA Certified outdoor wood furnaces known as the Pristine Gasification Series that utilizes technology to maximize combustion efficiency for a clean, smokeless burning. This is achieved by using a negative pressure air system that pulls fresh hot, dry clean air in from the bottom of the boiler, and pushes it back out through the chimney at a much higher rate than conventional outdoor wood boilers. This is accomplished through the unique design of a multi-pass, water filled heat exchanger constructed from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

When properly used, corner wood burning stove the Pristine Gasification Series OWB can reach an efficiency of 99% for a cleaner, smoke-free fire that requires less wood and generates significantly fewer emissions than traditional OWBs. To enhance the performance of your OWB, it is important to burn dry, clean, seasoned wood. The process of preparing your wood for 6 months or a year prior to burning is recommended and helps ensure a better and more efficient burn.

In addition to improving the performance of your wood burner, you can also improve the efficiency of your wood burner by performing an "dry burn" every week. This method eliminates creosote buildup, keeps your boiler running efficiently and increases its lifespan. Additionally by adding a creosote-removing stick every time you load your stove, you can drastically cut the amount of creosote that you use. The product is available through Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

The soot particles that are left on the stove after burning wood may make a stove look very dirty. They are difficult to clean and therefore, you must clean any buildup on the glass of your stove immediately. In the event that the soot is not removed, it will become harder and more difficult to get off. Using the right cleaning products for the job is vital and you should also make sure you're not damaging the glass's surface with anything that could scratch it. This could lead to a weak spot that can break glass when exposed to high temperatures.

Make sure you allow your wood burner to cool completely before cleaning it. Make sure to cover the area surrounding it with newspaper. This will prevent the ash from leaking and staining surfaces.

Based on the quality of the wood you use, it can take up to an entire year for your stove to be properly seasoned. The wood that is seasoned will not only burn more efficiently, but also produce less creosote. This is the material that accumulates on your chimney, which reduces effectiveness and creating the risk of fire. If you're using unseasoned wood or are just beginning a new fire in your outdoor wood burner the best thing you can do is to open up the back door to the lower part and scoop the ashes into a non-combustible bin every week.

You should also do a sediment flush on your boiler at least every four years. This is a quick five-second flush from the drain valve on your boiler. This will get rid of any sediment that has built up inside the system and ensure that your boiler is in good operating condition.

Once you have done the sediment flush, it's time to clean the outside of your outdoor wood burner. Before beginning, it is crucial to cover the floor around the stove with newspaper. Wearing gloves and eye protection is also a good idea. You should also have an shovel, a metal ash container and scraping tools. To protect the refractory you should lay down a piece of cloth to protect it while you scrape away coal and ash deposits.

Simple to operate

Outdoor wood boilers (also known as outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heating systems or outdoor conservatory wood burner heaters) are often misunderstood despite their popularity. They were one of the "it" trends of the 1990s, alongside mullet hairstyles. Contrary to the EPA's popular wood stoves which are designed to burn at constant, low temperatures, these boilers have more fire and emit more smoke when operating. Certain local governments restrict or ban their use.

OWBs are great to heat homes with insulation levels that are high. Smoke that is thick and smoldering could be a nuisance for neighbors, which has led many OWBs to be shut down or even sued. In order for OWBs to function properly, they must be used with dry wood with low moisture content. Green or unseasoned small wood burner will reduce efficiency, causing creosote build-up and decrease the life of the burner. A moisture gauge will allow you to determine how long it takes for wood to dry.

Dual-stage wood gasification (OWGB) boilers are, on the other hand they employ a three-step procedure that utilizes more of the energy in the wood. This means less smoke. These types of furnaces are much more efficient than traditional OWBs and can be used with a greater variety of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry and seasoned wood. The majority of wood will season within a year. Oak and other tough trees can take as long as two years to mature. They are less watery and have a larger mass. This lets them store heat for longer, increasing efficiency and reducing pollution. The EPA "Burn Wise' website and Cornell Cooperative Extension are great sources for homeowners to learn how to burn wood efficiently to minimize pollution to the air.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood stoves are designed to be environmentally friendly. Unlike indoor wood burners that produce significant smoke Modern outdoor furnaces burn cleanly without the release of excessive heat or carbon monoxide. They also require less wood to generate the same amount of heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor wood burners also require significantly less maintenance than indoor wood burner wood burners and are more forgiving when it comes to the moisture content of the wood. Outdoor wood burners are only suitable for wood that has been properly "cured" or dried or. It can take a year or more for some kinds of wood. Make use of a moisture meter prior to loading to check the amount of water contained in the wood burning stoves on sale.

When the system is in operation, it is important to periodically inspect the system for the accumulation of creosote. Creosote is a by-product of combustion, can build up in the chimney and flue if they are not cleaned regularly. It can be removed by pouring a creosote removal product into the fire. Regularly cleaning the chimney and flue will help eliminate dangerous creosote accumulations, and increase efficiency.

Crown Royal Stoves developed a new airflow technology known as Negative Pressure Gasification to ensure 99% efficiency in combustion. Our EPA certified Pristine Series outdoor wood furnaces employ this technology to pull air from the bottom, directing all gasses through an insulated water surrounded secondary combustion chamber, which is easy-clean turbines for a smokeless and pollution-free combustion.
