What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burners are an affordable method of heating homes and businesses. They also help reduce the dependence on nonrenewable fossils fuels and help in implementing a sustainable energy strategy.

Well-seasoned wood is essential for efficient burning. Wood that is not seasoned or green has a higher moisture content and can create creosote that can reduce performance.

Efficient

Outdoor small wood burning heater burners have been around for many years. They are an energy-efficient and green method of heating your home. The design of OWBs encourages the slowing of the fire, making it cooler which results in less efficient combustion and a higher amount of smoke and creosote. These unburned fuels can lead to health problems as well as fire hazards, and can also harm the environment.

Furthermore the visible smoke plume that OWBs create can cause neighbors to complain. This could lead to 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 range of EPA Certified outdoor wood furnaces that are referred to as the Pristine Gasification Series that utilizes technology to increase the efficiency of combustion for a clean, smoke-free combustion. This is accomplished by using the negative pressure air system that draws fresh hot, dry and filtered air from the bottom of the boiler and then pushes it out of the chimney at a higher rate than conventional outdoor wood boilers. This is accomplished through a unique design which uses an incredibly efficient multi-pass water-filled heat exchanger made from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

When used properly when properly used, the Pristine Gasification Series OWB can achieve a 99% combustion efficiency for a cleaner, smoke-free fire that requires less wood and produces less emissions than traditional OWBs. To further maximize the performance of your OWB, it is important to burn clean, seasoned, dry wood. It is recommended to season your wood heater stove for six months or one year prior to burning it. This will result in an efficient and clean burn.

You can improve the efficiency of your wood-burning stove by executing each week a "dry burn". This method lowers the amount of creosote in your home, increases boiler efficiency and extends the life of your boiler. By affixing a creosote-removing stick to your stove each time you fill it, you can dramatically reduce the amount of creosote you need to use. The product is available through Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

The soot particles that are left in the aftermath of burning wood can make a stove appear very dirty. They are difficult to clean so make sure you clean any buildup that may be on your stove's glass immediately. In the event that the soot is not removed, it will get harder and become more difficult to get off. Using the right cleaning products for the job is crucial and you should also make sure you're not damaging the glass's surface by using anything that could scratch it. This could result in a weak point that will shatter glass when exposed high temperatures.

Be sure to allow your wood burner to cool completely before cleaning it. Make sure you protect the area around it with newspaper. This will stop the ash from spilling and staining surfaces.

Based on the quality of the wood that you select, 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 also produce less creosote. This is the kind of material that builds up on your chimney, which reduces efficiency and creating an hazard for fire. If you are using unseasoned wood or just beginning a new fire in your outdoor wood burner the best wood burning stove thing you can do is to open the lower back door and scoop the ashes into a non-combustible container each week.

It is also recommended to perform an annual sediment flush on your boiler at least every four years. This is a simple five second flush from the bottom drain valve on your boiler. This will eliminate any sediments that have accumulated in the system and keep your boiler working well.

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

Easy to Operate

Despite their popularity (they were among the 1990s' "it" trends, along with mullet haircuts) outdoor wood boilers, also known as outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heaters, are frequently misunderstood. Contrary to the EPA's popular wood stoves, which are designed to burn at constant, low temperatures, these boilers have more fire and produce more smoke when they operate. Some local governments restrict or prohibit their use.

OWBs are great for heating homes with high insulation levels. The smoldering, visible smoke is also a source of complaint with neighbors, and has led to numerous OWBs being shut down or sued in the past. To allow OWBs to operate properly they should be operated with dry wood that has low moisture content. Wood that is not seasoned or green can reduce efficiency, cause creosote to accumulate, and shorten the lifespan of the burner. Drying wood can take time and an instrument to measure moisture is essential for every homeowner.

Dual-stage wood gasification (OWGB) boilers are, on the other hand, use a three-step process which makes use of the energy in the contemporary wood burners. This means less smoke. These furnaces are more efficient than traditional OWBs and can be used for various fuels. Wood gasification boilers need dry, seasoned wood. The majority of wood will mature within one year. Oak and other hardy trees can take up to two years to mature. This is due to less amount of water and a higher density. This allows them retain heat for longer, thus 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 outdoor corner wood burning stove stoves have been designed to be eco-friendly. Modern outdoor wood furnaces do not emit excessive heat or CO2. They also burn cleaner than Indoor wood Burning stove wood stoves. They also use less wood to produce the same amount heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor wood burners require less maintenance and are more tolerant of wood moisture content than indoor wood 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. Use a moisture gauge prior to loading to measure the amount of water contained in the wood.

When operating, it is essential to examine the system on a regular basis for creosote accumulation. Creosote is a by-product of combustion, may build up in the chimney and flue if they are not cleaned regularly. It can be eliminated using a special creosote removal product that is poured into the flame. Regular cleaning of the flue and chimney will help eliminate dangerous creosote accumulations and improve efficiency.

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