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 fossil fuels that are not renewable and help in implementing a sustainable energy strategy.

For efficient combustion, it is important to use seasoned wood. Wood that is not seasoned or green may contain more moisture that can cause creosote to accumulate and reduce performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners have been around for many years. They are an energy efficient and green method to heat your home. The typical design of OWBs encourages the slowing of the fire, making it cooler which results in poorer combustion and a higher amount of smoke and creosote. These unburnt fuels can cause health issues as well as fire hazards and affect the environment around them.

Additionally, the visible smoke plume that OWBs create can make neighbors complain. This could result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) taking enforcement action. This kind of public relations issue could cause serious damage to the value of your property, and could even lead to 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 for a clean, smokeless combustion. This is achieved through an air system that is negative pressure that pulls fresh hot, dry, filtered air in 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 by the unique design of an encapsulated, multi-pass heat exchanger constructed from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

If properly utilized when properly used, When properly used, the Pristine Series OWB can achieve an 99% efficiency in combustion for a cleaner and smoke-free fire. It consumes less wood and produces significantly less emissions than traditional OWBs. To enhance your OWB's performance it is crucial to burn only clean, seasoned, dry wood. Seasoning your wood for 6 months or a year prior to burning is recommended. It will ensure a more efficient energy efficient and efficient burn.

You can increase the efficiency of your wood-burning stove by performing a weekly "dry burn". This method eliminates creosote build up, keeps your boiler in good condition and extends its life span. Lastly, by adding a creosote remover stick every time you fill your stove, you will be able to drastically cut the amount of creosote you use. The product is available from Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

The soot particles that are left on the stove after burning wood may make a wood stove look very dirty. These are very hard to remove so if you notice any spots of buildup on the glass of your stove, clean them immediately. In the event that the soot is not removed, it will get harder and become more difficult to remove. Using the right cleaners for the job is vital, but also be sure you're not damaging the glass's surface with anything that could scratch it. This could leave a weak spot that could break the glass when exposed to extreme temperatures.

Before you begin cleaning your wood stove, you must ensure that it is unlit and completely cool. Make sure that you protect the area around it with newspaper. This will prevent the ash from spreading and staining surfaces.

Depending on the quality of the wood that you choose to use, it could take up to one year for your stove to get properly well-seasoned. The wood that has been seasoned will not only burn more efficiently, but also produce less creosote. This is the material which is able to build up on your fireplace, decreasing its efficiency and posing an opportunity for fire hazards. If you are using unseasoned wood or are just making a fresh fire in your outdoor wood burner the best wood burning stove thing you can do is to open up the back door to the lower part and scoop out the ashes into a non-combustible container each week.

A sediment flush is recommended on your boiler every four years. This is a straightforward flush lasting five seconds from the bottom drain valve on your boiler. This will eliminate any debris that has accumulated inside the system, and will ensure that your boiler is in good operating condition.

After you've completed the sediment flush, it's time to clean the exterior of your outdoor wood burner. Before beginning, it is crucial to cover the floor area surrounding the stove with newspaper. Wearing gloves and eye protection is also a good idea. Also, you should have an shovel, a metal ash container and scraping tools. You can use a cloth for shield to protect the refractory as you take off coal and ash deposits.

Easy to operate

Despite their popularity (they were one of the 1990s' "it" trends, as were mullet haircuts) outdoor wood boilers, also referred to as outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heaters are often misunderstood. They're not like the popular EPA wood stoves, which are designed to burn at low temperatures continuously. They are able to produce more fire and generate more smoke. Some local governments restrict or ban their use.

OWBs work best for homes that have high levels of insulation. The smoldering, dense visible smoke is also a source of complaint with neighbors and has led to many OWBs being shut down or sued in the past. In order for OWBs to operate properly they must be operated using dry wood that has low moisture content. Unseasoned or green wood can reduce efficiency, cause creosote to accumulate, and shorten the lifespan of the burner. Drying large wood burning stove takes time and the use of a moisture gauge is essential for every homeowner.

Dual-stage wood gasification (OWGB) boilers however, use a three-step process which makes use of the energy available in the wood. This results in less smoke. These types of furnaces are much more efficient than conventional OWBs and can be used with a larger range of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry well-seasoned and well-seasoned firewood. The majority of small wood burning heater can be seasoned over the course of the course of a year. Oak and other hardy trees can take as long as two years. This is because they have a lower amount of water and a higher density. This lets them store heat for longer, thus increasing efficiency and reducing pollution. The EPA "Burn Wise" website and Cornell Cooperative Extension are great sources for homeowners to learn how to burn wood efficiently to reduce air pollution.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood furnaces are designed with the environment in mind. Modern outdoor wood furnaces don't generate excessive heat or CO2. They also burn more efficiently than indoor wood stoves. They also require less outside wood burners to provide the same amount of heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor wood burners require less maintenance and are more tolerant of moisture content in wood than wood burning stoves for indoor use. However outdoor wood burners can only be used with properly treated or "cured" wood. Certain types of wood may take up to a full year. Use a moisture meter before loading to measure the amount of water contained in your wood.

When the system is in operation, it is important to check the system regularly for creosote build up. Creosote, which is a byproduct of combustion, may build up in the chimney and flue when they are not cleaned regularly. It can be removed with a special creosote removal product that is poured into the fire. Regular cleaning of the flue and chimney will eliminate dangerous creosote and improve efficiency.

To achieve 99% combustion efficiency, Crown Royal Stoves designed an innovative air flow technology called Negative Pressure Gasification. Our EPA certified Pristine Series outdoor wood furnaces utilize this technology to pull air from the bottom, forcing all the gasses into an insulated water surrounded secondary combustion chamber that is easy to clean Turbulators to ensure a smoke-free and outside Wood Burners pollutant-free burn.
