What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burning stoves can be an economical solution to heat homes and businesses. They also reduce the dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels and aid in a sustainable energy strategy.

For efficient burning, it is important to use well-seasoned small wood burning stove. Wood that is not seasoned or green may contain more moisture, which can cause creosote to accumulate and slow down performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners have been in use for many years. They are a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way of heating your home. The typical design of OWBs promotes an older, cooler fire which results in less efficient combustion, and more smoke and creosote. These unburned fuels could cause health problems as well as fire hazards and deteriorate the surrounding environment.

Moreover, the visible smoke plume produced by OWBs can cause neighbors to complain and result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) enforcement actions. This type of public relations issue can be a significant impact on the value of your property, and could result in your OWB being shut down.

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

When used properly correctly, when properly used, the Pristine Gasification Series OWB can reach a 99% combustion efficiency for a cleaner, smoke-free fire that uses less wood and produces less carbon dioxide than traditional OWBs. To enhance your OWB's performance it is essential to burn only dry, clean, seasoned wood. Seasoning your wood for 6 months or a year prior to burning is recommended. This will ensure a more efficient energy efficient and efficient burn.

You can increase the efficiency of your wood-burning stove through each week a "dry burn". This method lowers the amount of creosote in your home which increases the efficiency of boilers and extends the life of your boiler. In addition by putting in a creosote remover stick each time you fill your stove, you will be able to dramatically reduce the amount of creosote you use. This product is available from Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

A wood burning stove can be extremely dirty due to burned soot particles. They are extremely difficult to move so if you notice any spots of buildup on the glass of your stove, clean them as soon as you notice them. In the event that the soot is not removed, it will get harder and become more difficult to remove. Using the correct cleaners for the job is vital however, you must also ensure that you're not damaging the glass's surface with anything that could scratch it. This could result in an area of weakness that could shatter the glass when it's exposed to high temperatures.

Before you begin cleaning your wood burner, it is important to ensure that it is not lit and completely cool. Be sure to surround it with newspaper. This will prevent the ash from spreading and staining surfaces.

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

A sediment flush is recommended on your boiler every four years. This is a simple flush that takes five seconds from the bottom drain valve on your boiler. This will remove any sediments that have accumulated up in the system and ensure that your boiler is operating well.

Once you have done the sediment flush, it's now time to clean the Outside Wood Burners of your outdoor corner wood burner burner. Before starting, it's important to cover the floor area around the stove with newspaper. Wearing protective gloves and eyewear is also a good idea. Also, you should have a metal ash container as well as a scraping tool and a shovel. You can make use of a cloth as an insulator to protect the refractory while you scrape away coal and ash deposits.

Easy to Operate

Despite their popularity (they were one of the 1990s' "it" trends, together with mullet hairstyles) outdoor wood boilers, referred to as outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heaters are often misunderstood. Contrary to the EPA's popular wood stoves that are designed to burn at low, constant temperatures, these boilers have an increased fire rate and generate more smoke when operating. Some local governments restrict or prohibit their use.

OWBs are great to heat homes with a high insulation level. The visible, smoldering smoke is also a source of complaint with neighbors and has led to numerous OWBs being shut down or being sued in the past. For OWBs dry wood that has lower moisture content is required to function properly. Utilizing unseasoned or green wood decreases efficiency, causes creosote accumulation and can reduce the lifespan of the burner. Drying wood can take time and an instrument to measure moisture is essential for every homeowner.

In contrast dual-stage wood gasification boilers (OWGB) make use of three steps that makes use of more available energy from the wood and results in a lesser amount of smoke. These types of furnaces are more efficient than conventional OWBs and can be used with a larger variety of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry and seasoned wood. The majority of wood will be seasoned within a year, however oak and other species that are hardy could take two years or more to fully season. They are less water-based and have a greater density. This allows them to hold heat for longer, increasing efficiency and reducing pollution. The EPA's "Burn Wise" website and Cornell Cooperative Extension can help homeowners understand how to burn wood efficiently in order to reduce pollution to the air.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood stoves have been designed to be eco-friendly. Modern outdoor wood furnaces don't produce excessive heat or CO2. They also burn cleaner than indoor wood stoves. They also require less wood to generate the same amount of heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor wood burners require less maintenance and are more forgiving of moisture content in wood than wood burning stoves for indoor use. However, outdoor wood burners can only be used with properly seasoned or "cured" wood. Certain kinds of wood can take up to a year. It is essential to make use of a moisture meter to measure the amount of water of your wood before loading.

When the system is in operation, it is essential to check the system regularly for the accumulation of creosote. Creosote is an byproduct of combustion that can build up in the flue and chimney if it is not cleaned frequently. It can be removed with a special creosote removal product that is poured into the fire. Regularly cleaning the flue and chimney will eliminate dangerous creosote buildup and improve efficiency.

In order to get 99% efficiency from combustion, Crown Royal Stoves designed a brand new air flow technique known as Negative Pressure Gasification. Our EPA certified Pristine Series outdoor wood furnaces make use of this technology to draw air from the bottom, pushing all gasses through an insulated, water-surrounded secondary combustion chamber, which is easy-clean turbulators for a smokeless & pollution-free burn.
