Wood Burning Stoves Near Me

Wood stoves are a non-carbon renewable source of heat that can help you save money on your energy bills. They also assist in active woodland management, benefitting wildlife.

If they are not installed and maintained properly they can create carbon monoxide, 913875 which poses health risks for the entire family. To avoid this, choose a wood stove that is EPA certified and has modern technology for safe operation.

Catalytic Stoves

A catalytic stove is outfitted with a special honeycomb-like catalyst that converts the smoke from wood into carbon dioxide and water. It is a good choice for anyone looking to reduce indoor air pollution and save money by burning less wood. They use less fuel, burn faster, and produce less creosote. They can be more costly to operate than non catalytic models, and require regular maintenance on the combustion chamber.

Wood Stoves that have been certified by the EPA

The EPA requires that wood stoves be designed according to specific guidelines that limit their emissions. These guidelines state that the catalytic stove must test no higher than 7.5 grams of smoke per hour. This is compared to 4.1 grams/hour for an uncatalytic stove. It is important to keep in mind that lower emissions ratings do not necessarily translate into greater efficiency in heating.

Sizing and Selection

It is very important to make sure your wood stove is sized for the home in which it is installed. The wrong sized stove will not function as it was intended and 913875 could even overheat. The correct stove size will increase heat output while cutting emissions. The brochure: Buying an EPA-Certified wood stove (PDF 530K) offers a simple way to size and select a new wooden stove.

Non-Catalytical and Catalytic stoves

The first type of wood stove produced was the non-catalytic stove. These stoves are also called traditional wood-burning stoves or open fire stoves. The non-catalytic stove is advantageous in that it does not require another combustion to lower emissions. However, a substantial amount of wasted energy is lost in the form of smoke. The smoke from non-catalytic stoves contains a toxic substance known as creosote. The introduction of the catalytic wood stove eliminated the risk of these issues. The catalytic stove utilizes a catalyst that burns the gases in the smoke to remove the toxic creosote.

Although the catalytic wood stove was developed to reduce toxic emissions but it isn't as efficient as the secondary burn system that is found in the non-catalytic stove. The catalyst is unable to completely burn the byproducts of burning wood, and consequently emits harmful fumes. The honeycomb structure may be damaged over time. This can result in decreased performance and the need for replacement.

Maintain the Combustion Chamber Clean

A catalytic combustor that is functioning properly will appear to be as a grayish powder. It should be free of soot, ash or 913875.xyz (Www.913875.Xyz) other materials which could block the cells and reduce the surface area of catalytic reactions. The combustor must not be exposed to flame impingement. This could occur when a powerful, fast draft forces flames into a catalytic converter. This can also happen when you leave the firebox or the ash pan doors open.

It is essential to check the catalytic combustor for physical damage, and for 913875.xyz the need for replacement. If the catalytic combustor has become damaged or needs to be replaced, it must be done as quickly as is feasible to ensure maximum performance.
