What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burners are an affordable way to heat homes and businesses. They also reduce the need for nonrenewable fossils fuels and help in implementing a sustainable energy strategy.

A well-seasoned large wood burning stove is vital for efficient burning. 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 (OWBs) have been around for a long time and are an extremely energy efficient and environmentally friendly way to heat your home. The design of OWBs promotes a slower, cooler fire which results in less efficient combustion and more smoke and creosote. These unburned fuels could cause health problems, fire hazards and degrade the environment.

Additionally the visible smoke puffs that OWBs generate can cause neighbors to complain. This may result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) taking enforcement action. This type of public relations issue can cause serious damage to the value of your property and could result in your OWB being shut down.

Crown Royal Stoves offers a line of EPA Certified outdoor wood furnaces called the Pristine Gasification Series that utilizes technology to increase the efficiency of combustion for a clean, smoke-free burn. This is achieved by using a negative-pressure air system which pulls in fresh, dry, heated, filtered air from the bottom and pushes it through the chimney much faster than traditional outdoor contemporary wood burners boilers. This is accomplished by a unique design that utilizes an encapsulated, multi-pass heat exchanger made of 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

If properly used when properly used, when properly used, the Pristine Series OWB achieves an 99% efficiency in combustion for a cleaner and smoke-free fire. It uses less wood and produces a lot less emission than traditional OWBs. To further maximize the performance of your OWB it is essential to only burn clean, seasoned, dry wood. It is recommended that you get your wood seasoned for a period of six months or a year before burning it. This will ensure an efficient and clean burn.

In addition to improving the performance of your wood stove, you can also improve the efficiency of your large wood burning stove burner by performing the "dry burn" every week. This method lowers the amount of creosote in your home which improves boiler efficiency and extends the life of your boiler. Additionally, by adding a creosote-removing stick every time you fill your stove, you will be able to significantly reduce the amount creosote that you use. This product is available at Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

A wood-burning stove could become very dirty from burnt soot particles. They are difficult to remove 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 rid of. Using the right cleaners for the job is crucial however, you must also ensure that you're not damaging the glass's surface with anything that could scratch it. This could cause a weak point that will shatter glass when exposed high temperatures.

Before you begin cleaning your wood stove, you must ensure that it's not lit and completely cool. Also, ensure that the surrounding area is covered with newspaper. This will prevent any spillage of ash which can stain and mark surfaces.

Depending on the quality of the wood that you select, it can take up to a year for your stove to be properly well-seasoned. The wood that is seasoned will not only burn more efficiently, but will also produce less creosote. This is the material which builds up on your fireplace, decreasing its effectiveness and creating the potential for a fire hazard. If you are using unseasoned wood or just starting a new fire in your outdoor wood burner the best thing you can do is to open up the lower back door and scoop ashes out into a non-combustible bin every week.

A sediment flush should be performed on your boiler every four years. It is a simple flush of five seconds from the bottom drain valve on your boiler. This will get rid of any sediment that has built up inside the system, and will ensure that your boiler is in good operating condition.

Once you've completed the sediment flush, it's time to clean the exterior of your outdoor wood burner. Before you begin, it's crucial to cover the area around the stove with newspaper. It is also advisable to wear protective eyewear and gloves. You should also have an shovel, a metal container for ash and a scraping tool. You can make use of a cloth as an insulator to protect the refractory while you remove ash and coal deposits.

Easy to operate

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

OWBs work best in homes with a high level of insulation. The smoldering, dense visible smoke can also be a source of complaint with neighbors and has led to many OWBs being shut down or sued in the past. For OWBs, dry wood with lower moisture content is needed to function effectively. contemporary wood burning stoves that is not seasoned or green will reduce efficiency, causing creosote to build up and decrease the life of the burner. Drying wood can take time and the use of a moisture gauge is a must for the homeowner.

In contrast, dual-stage outside Wood burners gasification boilers (OWGB) utilize three steps of process which makes use of the available energy in the wood and results in much less smoke. These types of furnaces are more efficient than conventional OWBs and can be used with a wider variety of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry well-seasoned and seasoned firewood. The majority of wood will mature within one year. Oak and other hardy trees can take as long as two years to mature. This is because they have less amount of water and a higher density. This lets them store heat for longer, thus increasing efficiency and decreasing pollution. The EPA "Burn Wise' website and Cornell Cooperative Extension are great resources for homeowners to learn how to burn wood efficiently in order minimize pollution to the air.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood stoves are designed to be eco-friendly. Modern outdoor wood burning stove for shed furnaces do not produce excessive CO2 or heat. They also burn cleaner than indoor wood stoves. 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 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. Certain kinds of wood can last for up to a year. Use a moisture gauge prior to loading to check the amount of water in the wood.

During operation, it is essential to periodically inspect the system for the build-up of creosote. Creosote, a by-product of combustion, can accumulate in the chimney and flue if they are not cleaned regularly. It can be eliminated by pouring a creosote removing product into the fire. Regular cleaning of the flue and chimney will eliminate dangerous creosote and improve efficiency.

To attain 99% efficiency in combustion, Crown Royal Stoves designed an innovative air flow technology known as Negative Pressure Gasification. This technology is used in our EPA certified Pristine Series Outdoor Wood Furnaces to draw air upwards from the bottom and force all the gases through an sealed secondary combustion chamber, which is surrounded by water, with easy-to-clean Turbulators. The result is a smokeless and pollutant free burn.
