What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burners are an economical solution to heat homes and businesses. They also reduce the dependence on fossil fuels that are not renewable and aid in a sustainable energy strategy.

A well-seasoned wood is vital for efficient burning. Unseasoned or green wood has a higher moisture content and may cause creosote accumulation, which can affect performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners (OWBs) have been around for years and provide an green and efficient way to heat your home. However, the design of OWBs that encourages a slow, cooler fire that results in poor combustion and more smoke, creosote, as well as particulates. These unburned fuels can lead to health problems and fire hazards. They also degrade the environment.

Moreover the visible smoke puffs that OWBs produce could cause neighbors to voice their concerns. This may result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) and taking enforcement actions. This kind of problem can affect the value of your property and could result in your OWB being closed.

Crown Royal woodburning stoves has a range of outdoor wood furnaces that are EPA Certified. The Pristine Gasification Series utilizes technology to improve the efficiency of combustion and provide an unburned, clean and smoke-free. This is accomplished by using a negative-pressure air system that draws in fresh dry heated, filtered, and heated air from the bottom and pushes it out through the chimney faster than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is accomplished through a unique design which uses a multi-pass water filled heat exchanger constructed of 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

When properly used when properly used, the Pristine Series OWB has an efficiency of 99% for a smoke-free and cleaner fire. It requires less wood and produces significantly fewer emission than traditional OWBs. It is crucial to use dry, clean, and seasoned wood in order to maximize the performance of your OWB. Seasoning your wood for 6 months or a year prior to burning is recommended and will ensure a more efficient energy efficient and efficient burn.

In addition to improving the performance of your wood burner it is also possible to increase its efficiency by performing the "dry burn" every week. This method lowers the amount of creosote in your home which increases the efficiency of boilers and extends the life of your boiler. By adding a stick for removing creosote to your stove every time you fill it up, you can dramatically reduce the amount of creosote you use. This product is available through Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

A wood-burning stove can be very dirty due to burnt soot particles. They are extremely difficult to move so if you notice any spots of soot build-up on the glass of your stove, wash them as soon as you notice them. If the soot isn't removed, it will become hard and make it more difficult to remove. Using the right cleaners for the job is essential however, you must also ensure that you're not damaging the surface of the glass with anything that could scratch it. This could result in an area of weakness that could break the glass if it's exposed to high temperatures.

Make sure you let your wood stove cool completely before cleaning it. Also, make sure that the surrounding area is covered with newspaper. This will stop 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 well-seasoned. The wood that has been treated with a seasoned finish will not only burn more efficiently, but also produce less creosote. This is the kind of material that is able to build up on your fireplace, decreasing its efficiency and posing a potential fire hazard. If you are using unseasoned wood, or just making a fresh fire in your outdoor wood burner the best thing to do is open the back door to the lower part and scoop out the ashes into a non-combustible container every week.

A sediment flush is recommended on your boiler every four years. This involves a simple five-second flush from the bottom drain valve of your boiler. This will remove any sediments that have built up in the system and ensure that your boiler is operating efficiently.

Once you have done the sediment flush, it's time to clean the outside of your outdoor wood burner. Before you begin, it's crucial to cover the floor area surrounding the stove with newspaper. It is also advisable to wear gloves and protective eyewear. Also, you should have an shovel, a metal ash container and scraping tools. To safeguard the refractory, you need to lay down a piece of cloth to protect it from damage as you scrape away coal and ash deposits.

Easy to Operate

Despite their popularity (they were among the 1990s' "it" trends, together with mullet hairstyles) outdoor wood boilers, also referred to as outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heaters, are frequently misunderstood. They're not the same as the well-known EPA wood stoves, which are built to burn at low temperatures and continuously. They use an increased rate of fire and produce more smoke. Some local governments limit or ban their use.

OWBs are ideal for heating homes with insulation levels that are high. The smoldering, dense visible smoke can also be a source of complaints from neighbors and has led to numerous OWBs being shut down or being sued in the past. To allow OWBs to function properly, they must be used with dry wood that has low moisture content. Using green or unseasoned wood decreases efficiency, causes creosote to build up and may cut down the life of the burner. A moisture meter will help you to determine how long it takes for wood to dry.

In contrast, dual-stage wood gasification boilers (OWGB) utilize three steps which makes use of the available energy from the wood and results in a lesser amount of smoke. These kinds of furnaces are more efficient than conventional OWBs and can be used with a greater range of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry, seasoned firewood. Most wood will season within a year, but oak and other species with a hardy structure may require two years or more to fully season. This is due to less water content and denser mass. This enables them to hold heat for longer, thereby increasing efficiency and decreasing pollution. The EPA's "Burn Wise" website and Cornell Cooperative Extension can help homeowners learn more about how to burn wood efficiently, thereby reducing pollution to the air.

Low Maintenance

modern wood burning stove outdoor wood furnaces have been designed with the environment in mind. Unlike indoor wood Burner wood burners 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 produce the same amount of heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor wood burners also require less maintenance than indoor wood burners and are more accommodating in regards to the moisture content of the wood. However outdoor wood burners should only be used with properly treated or "cured" small wood burner. Certain types of wood may take up to a year. It is crucial to make use of a moisture meter to measure the amount of water of your wood before loading.

In the course of operation, it is crucial to check the system regularly to check for accumulation of creosote. Creosote is a byproduct of combustion that can build up in the chimney and flue if it is not cleaned regularly. It can be removed using the use of a special creosote remover that is poured into the fire. Regular cleaning of the flue and chimney will remove dangerous creosote and increase efficiency.

Crown Royal Stoves developed a new airflow technology known as Negative Pressure Gasification to attain 99% efficiency in combustion. This technology is used 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 surrounded by water with easy-to-clean turbines. The result is a smokeless and pollutant free burn.
