What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burning stoves are a cost-effective method of heating homes and businesses. They also help reduce dependence on fossil fuels that are non-renewable and contribute to a resilient energy strategy.

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

Efficient

Outdoor wood burning fireplace burners (OWBs) have been around for years and offer a very eco-friendly and energy efficient method of heating your home. The typical design of OWBs encourages an older, cooler fire which results in poorer combustion, and more smoke and creosote. Unburned fuels can lead to health issues, fire hazards, and deteriorate the surrounding environment.

Furthermore the visible smoke puffs that OWBs create could cause neighbors to voice their concerns. This may result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) and Indoor wood burner taking enforcement actions. This type of issue can negatively impact the value of your property and could cause your OWB being shut down.

Crown Royal Stoves has a line of outdoor wood furnaces that are EPA Certified. The Pristine Gasification Series makes use of technology to increase the efficiency of combustion and produce an unburned, clean and smoke-free. This is achieved by using a negative pressure air system that pulls fresh, dry, hot clean air in from the bottom of the boiler and then pushes it back out through the chimney at a more rapid rate than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is achieved by an innovative design that utilizes an incredibly efficient multi-pass water-filled heat exchanger constructed of 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

If properly used when properly used, when properly used, the Pristine Series OWB has a 99% combustion rate for a smoke-free and cleaner fire. It consumes less wood, and produces significantly less emissions than traditional OWBs. To maximize the performance of your OWB it is essential to burn dry, clean, and seasoned wood. It is recommended that you season your wood for a minimum of 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 performing every week a "dry burn". This method lowers the amount of creosote in your home which increases the efficiency of boilers and prolongs the life of your boiler. In addition by putting in a creosote-removing stick every time you load your stove, you can dramatically reduce the amount of creosote that you use. The product is available from Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

The soot particles left on the stove after burning wood may make a stove appear very dirty. They are difficult to get rid of, so remove any buildup from the glass of your stove as soon as you notice it. Any soot that is not eliminated will begin to harden, making it even more difficult. It is crucial to use the right cleaners, but you should also be careful not to scratch the glass with anything that could scratch it. This could leave an area of weakness that could shatter the glass when it's exposed to high temperatures.

Before you begin cleaning your wood burner, you should make sure that it is not lit and completely cool. Also, ensure that the surrounding area is covered with newspaper. This will prevent any spillage of ash that could stain and mark surfaces.

Depending on the quality of the wood that you use, it can take up to an entire year for your stove to become properly and seasoned. The wood that is seasoned will not only burn more efficiently and will produce less creosote. This is the kind of material that builds up on your chimney, decreasing its efficiency and posing the risk of fire. If you're using unseasoned wood or just making a fresh fire in your outdoor wood burner the best thing to do is to open up the lower back door and scoop ashes out into a non-combustible bin every week.

You should also perform an annual sediment flush on your boiler at a minimum every four years. This is a quick five-second flush from the drain valve on your boiler. This will eliminate any sediment that has built up inside the system and ensure that your boiler is in good working condition.

Once you've completed the sediment flush, it's now time to clean the exterior of your outdoor wood burner. Before you begin, it's crucial to cover the stove's perimeter with newspaper. It is also beneficial to wear protective eyewear and gloves. Also, you should have a shovel, a metal container for ash, and an instrument for scraping. To protect the refractory you must lay down a cloth to protect it while you scrape away ash and coal deposits.

Simple to operate

Outdoor wood boilers (also called outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heating systems, or outdoor wood heaters) are often misunderstood, despite their acclaim. They were among the "it" trends of the 1990s, as were hairstyles for mullets. In contrast to their EPA-approved counterparts, popular wood stoves that are designed to burn at low, constant temperatures, these units use an increased fire rate and generate more smoke when they operate. This is why a few local governments regulate or even ban their use.

OWBs are best used for heating homes with high insulation levels. Smoke that is thick and smoldering may be a nuisance for neighbors, which has led many OWBs to be shut down or even sued. To ensure that OWBs to function properly, they must be used with dry wood that has low moisture content. The use of unseasoned or green wood can reduce efficiency, cause creosote to build up and may cut down the life of the burner. A moisture gauge will allow you to determine how long it takes for large wood burning stove to dry.

In contrast dual-stage wood gasification boilers (OWGB) utilize a three step process that uses more of the available energy from the wood and results in less smoke. These furnaces are more efficient than conventional OWBs and are suitable for various fuels. Wood gasification boilers require dry well-seasoned and seasoned firewood. The majority of wood will mature in the course of a year. Oak and other tough trees may take up to two years. They are less watery and have a greater density. This lets them store heat longer, increasing efficiency and decreasing pollution. The EPA "Burn Wise' website and Cornell Cooperative Extension are great resources for homeowners to learn how to efficiently burn wood to reduce pollution to the air.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor freestanding wood burning stove furnaces are designed with the environment in mind. Unlike indoor wood burners that emit significant smoke, modern outdoor furnaces burn cleanly without the creation of excessive heat or carbon monoxide. They also require less wood to produce the same amount heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor wood burners require significantly less maintenance than Indoor Wood Burner wood burners and are more accommodating in regards to the moisture content of the wood. Outdoor wood burners are suitable for freestanding wood burning stove that has been properly "cured" or dried or. This could take a whole year or more for certain kinds of wood. It is essential to utilize a moisture gauge to measure the amount of water of your wood before loading.

When operating, it is essential to check the system regularly to check for accumulation of creosote. Creosote is a by-product of combustion, may build up in the chimney and flue if they aren't cleaned regularly. It can be eliminated by pouring a creosote-removing product into the fire. Regular cleaning of the flue and chimney can remove harmful creosote and improve efficiency.

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