What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burners are a cost-effective way to heat homes and businesses. They also help to reduce dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels and contribute to a resilient energy strategy.

A well-seasoned wood is vital for efficient burning. Wood that is not seasoned or green may have a higher moisture content which can cause creosote to build up and reduce performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners have been in use for many years. They are an energy-efficient and green method of heating your home. However, the standard design of OWBs, which encourages a slow, cooler fire which results in poor combustion and more smoke, creosote and particulates. These unburned fuels could cause health problems and fire hazards, as well as affect the environment around them.

Furthermore the visible smoke plume produced by OWBs could cause neighbors to voice their concerns and could lead to DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) enforcement actions. This kind of problem can have a negative impact on your property value and even lead to your OWB being closed.

Crown Royal Stoves offers a line of EPA Certified outdoor wood furnaces known as the Pristine Gasification Series that utilizes technology to maximize combustion efficiency for a clean, smoke-free combustion. This is achieved by using a negative-pressure air system that draws fresh, dry heated, filtered, and heated air from the bottom and then pushes it out through the chimney at a much faster rate than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is accomplished through the unique design of a multi-pass, water-filled heat exchanger constructed from 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 uses less wood and produces significantly less emissions than traditional OWBs. To maximize the effectiveness of your OWB, it is important to burn only clean, seasoned, dry wood. The process of preparing your wood for 6 months or a year prior to burning is recommended. This will ensure a more efficient and more efficient burn.

You can increase the efficiency of your wood-burning stove by executing every week a "dry burn". This method eliminates creosote buildup, keeps your boiler running efficiently and increases its life span. Lastly, by adding a creosote removal stick each time you load your stove, you will be able to dramatically reduce the amount of creosote used. This product is available through Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

The soot particles left in the aftermath of burning wood can make a stove appear very dirty. They are extremely difficult to shift If you notice any spots of buildup on the glass of your stove, clean them as soon as you notice them. Soot that is not removed will harden, making it even more difficult. It is essential to use the right cleaners, but you should also be careful not to scratch the glass with anything that may scratch it. This could leave a weak spot that will break the glass if it's exposed to high temperatures.

Be sure to allow your wood burning fireplace burner to cool completely before cleaning it. Make sure to protect the area around it with newspaper. This will prevent the ash from leaking and staining surfaces.

It can take up to one year for your stove's seasoning to be complete, based on the quality of the wood you use. The wood that is seasoned will not only burn more efficiently, but also produce less creosote. This is the material that builds up on your chimney, which reduces efficiency and posing a fire hazard. If you are using unseasoned wood, or just beginning a new fire in your outdoor wood burner the best thing to do is to open up the back door to the lower part and scoop ashes out into a non-combustible container every week.

A sediment flush should be carried out on your boiler every four years. This is a simple five second hand wood burning stoves flush from the drain valve of your boiler. This will eliminate any sediment that has built up inside the system, and will ensure that your boiler is in good operating condition.

After you've completed the sediment flush, it's now time to clean the Outside Wood Burners of your outdoor wood burner. Before you begin, it's crucial to cover the stove's perimeter with newspaper. Wearing protective gloves and eyewear is an excellent idea. You should also have a ash canister made of metal, a scraping tool and shovel. To protect the refractory you need to lay a cloth on it to shield it as you scrape away coal and outside wood Burners ash deposits.

Easy to Operate

Outdoor wood boilers (also known as outdoor furnaces and outdoor wood hydronic heating systems or outdoor wood heaters) are often misunderstood in spite of their acclaim. They were among the "it" trends of the 1990s, along with mullet hairstyles. Contrary to the EPA's popular wood stoves which are designed to burn at constant, low temperatures, these boilers have a higher fire rate and produce more smoke when they operate. Some local governments limit or ban their use.

OWBs work best in homes that have high levels of insulation. Smoke that is dense and smoldering could cause annoyance to 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 a low moisture content. The use of unseasoned or green wood decreases efficiency, causes creosote accumulation and can reduce the lifespan of the burner. A moisture meter can help you to determine how long it takes for wood to dry.

Dual-stage wood gasification (OWGB) boilers are, on the other hand they employ a three-step procedure that utilizes more of the energy available in the wood. This means less smoke. These types of furnaces are far more efficient than conventional OWBs and can be used with a greater variety of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry, seasoned firewood. The majority of wood can be seasoned in a year. Oak and other hardy trees may take up to two years to mature. This is due to a lower volume of water and a greater 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 sources for homeowners to understand how to efficiently burn wood in order minimize pollution to the air.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood stoves are designed to be environmentally 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 than indoor wood burners, and are more tolerant when it comes to the moisture content of the wood. However outdoor wood burners can only be used with properly seasoned or "cured" wood. Some types of wood can take up to a full year. Use a moisture gauge prior to loading to determine the amount of water present in the wood.

In the course of operation, it is important to check the system regularly for the build-up of creosote. Creosote is a byproduct of combustion and can build up in the flue and chimney if it is not cleaned frequently. It can be removed with a creosote removal solution that is poured into the fire. Regularly cleaning the chimney and flue will remove dangerous creosote accumulations, and increase efficiency.

To attain 99% efficiency in combustion, Crown Royal Stoves designed a new air flow technology called Negative Pressure Gasification. This technology is used in our EPA certified Pristine Series Outdoor Wood Furnaces to draw air from the bottom and push all the gases through an enclosed secondary combustion chamber that is that is surrounded by water and easy-to-clean Turbulators. The result is a smokeless, pollution-free burn.
