What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burners are a cost-effective method of heating homes and businesses. They also reduce dependence on fossil fuels that are not renewable and help to create a more resilient energy strategy.

A well-seasoned wood is vital for efficient burning. Wood that is not seasoned or green may have a higher moisture content which can cause creosote to build up and slow down performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners (OWBs) have been around for years and provide an green and efficient method to heat your home. However, the typical design of OWBs, which encourages a slow, cooler fire that causes poor combustion and more smoke, creosote, as well as particulates. These unburned fuels can cause health issues, fire hazards and degrade the environment.

Moreover, the visible plume of smoke that OWBs emit can cause neighbors to complain and lead to DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) enforcement action. This type of issue can negatively impact your property value and even lead to your OWB being closed down.

Crown Royal Stoves has a range of outdoor wood furnaces that are EPA Certified. The Pristine Gasification Series uses technology to improve the efficiency of combustion and create a smokeless, clean burn. This is accomplished through a negative pressure air system that pulls in fresh dry heated, filtered, and heated air from the bottom and then pushes it up the chimney faster than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is accomplished by an innovative design that makes use of a multi-pass, water-filled heat exchanger made of 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

When used properly, when properly used, the Pristine Gasification Series OWB can attain the highest efficiency of combustion, which is 99% for a cleaner, smoke-free fire that consumes less wood and produces significantly fewer emissions than traditional OWBs. It is crucial to burn only dry, clean and seasoned wood in order to maximize the performance of your OWB. Seasoning your wood for 6 months or more prior to burning is recommended and helps ensure a smoother and more efficient burn.

You can boost the efficiency of your wood-burning stove by executing every week a "dry burn". This method eliminates creosote build up, keeps your boiler running efficiently and increases its life span. Additionally by adding a creosote remover stick every when you load your stove, you will be able to drastically cut the amount of creosote you use. This product is available from Wisconsin Wood Burning Stoves Furnace.

Clean

A wood-burning stove can be very dirty due to burnt soot particles. They are difficult to get rid of and therefore, you must clean any buildup on the glass of your stove as soon as you notice it. In the event that the soot is not removed, it will get harder and become more difficult to get rid of. 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 lead to an area of weakness that could shatter glass when exposed high temperatures.

Before you begin cleaning your wood burner, it is important to ensure that it is unlit and completely cool. Also, ensure that the area around it is covered with newspaper. This will stop the ash from spreading and staining surfaces.

Based on the quality of the wood you use, it can take up to a year for your stove to become properly seasoned. Seasoned wood will not only burn better, but will create less creosote. This is the kind of material that gets accumulated on your chimney, decreasing its efficiency and posing a fire hazard. If you're using unseasoned wood or are just beginning a fire in your outdoor fireplace, it's recommended to open the lower backdoor and scoop the all the ashes into a nonflammable container every week.

A sediment flush should be carried out on your boiler every four years. This is a simple flush that takes five seconds from the drain valve on your boiler. This will get rid of any sediment that has built up in the system and ensure that your boiler is operating efficiently.

After you have cleaned the exterior of your fireplace outside wood burners it is time to clean it. Before you begin, wood burning stoves small make sure to cover the stove's perimeter with newspaper. It is also advisable to wear protective eyewear and gloves. You should also have a ash canister made of metal as well as a scraping tool and shovel. To protect the refractory you should lay down a cloth to shield it as you scrape away ash and coal deposits.

Easy to operate

Outdoor wood boilers (also called outdoor furnaces and outdoor wood hydronic heating systems, or outdoor wood heaters) are often misunderstood despite their acclaim. They were among the "it" trends of the 1990s, alongside mullet hairstyles. These units are not the same as the well-known EPA wood stoves, which are designed to burn low temperatures and run continuously. They have more burning and produce more smoke. Some local governments limit or prohibit their use.

OWBs are ideal to heat homes with a high insulation level. The smoldering, visible smoke is also a source of complaints from neighbors and has led to numerous OWBs being shut down or sued in the past. For OWBs dry wood that has a lower moisture content is required to work properly. Utilizing unseasoned or green wood can reduce efficiency, cause creosote build up and can shorten the life of the burner. Drying wood takes time and a moisture meter is a must for any homeowner.

Dual-stage wood gasification (OWGB) boilers, on the other hand utilize a three-step process that makes use of more energy available in the wood. This means less smoke. These kinds of furnaces are far more efficient than conventional OWBs and can be used with a wider variety of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry, seasoned wood. The majority of wood can be seasoned over the course of the course of a year. Oak and other tough trees may take as long as two years to mature. This is due to lower amount of water and a higher density. This allows them to retain heat longer, thus increasing efficiency and reduce pollution. The EPA's "Burn Wise" website and Cornell Cooperative Extension can help homeowners learn more about how to burn wood efficiently in order to reduce pollution to the air.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood furnaces have been designed with the environment in mind. Contrary to indoor wood stoves that emit significant smoke Modern outdoor furnaces burn efficiently and without the creation of excessive heat or carbon monoxide. They also require less wood to generate the same amount of heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor wood burners require less maintenance and are more tolerant of the moisture content of wood than indoor small wood burner burning stoves. However, outdoor wood burners can only be used with properly treated or "cured" wood. This can take a year or more for some types of wood. It is essential to utilize a moisture gauge to determine the amount of water of your wood prior to loading.

During operation, it is important to periodically inspect the system for the build-up of creosote. Creosote is an byproduct of combustion that can build up in the chimney and flue if it is not cleaned regularly. It can be eliminated by pouring a creosote removal product into the fire. Regular cleaning of the chimney and flue will eliminate dangerous creosote and increase efficiency.

To attain 99% efficiency in combustion, Crown Royal Stoves designed a new air flow technology called Negative Pressure Gasification. This technology is utilized in our EPA certified Pristine Series Outdoor Wood Furnaces to draw air from the bottom and force all the gases through an insulated secondary combustion chamber that is surrounded by water and easy-to-clean Turbulators. The result is a smokeless and pollution-free burning.
