What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burners are an affordable way to heat homes and businesses. They also help reduce dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels and help to create a more resilient energy strategy.

For efficient combustion for efficient burning, it is crucial to use well-seasoned wood. Green or unseasoned wood has higher moisture content and can cause creosote that can reduce performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners have been in use for many years. They are a cost-effective and eco-friendly method of heating your home. However, the standard design of OWBs, which promotes a slow, cooler fire which results in poor combustion and more smoke, creosote, as well as particulates. These unburnt fuels can cause health problems, fire hazards, and affect the environment around them.

Moreover, the visible smoke plume that OWBs produce can make neighbors complain. This could result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) and taking enforcement actions. This kind of public relations issue can be a significant impact on the value of your property, and could result in your OWB being shut down.

Crown Royal woodburning stoves has a line of outdoor wood furnaces that are EPA Certified. The Pristine Gasification Series utilizes technology to improve the efficiency of combustion and provide a smokeless, clean burn. This is accomplished by using a negative pressure air system that draws fresh hot, dry clean air in from the bottom of the boiler, and pushes it back out through the chimney at a much higher rate than conventional outdoor wood boilers. This is accomplished by a unique design that utilizes an encapsulated, multi-pass heat exchanger constructed from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

Properly used when properly used, the Pristine Series OWB achieves an efficiency of 99% for a cleaner and smokeless fire. It uses less wood and produces significantly fewer emission than traditional OWBs. To maximize the performance of your OWB it is essential to burn only dry, clean, seasoned wood. It is recommended that you get your wood seasoned for a minimum of six months or one year prior to burning it. This will result in a more efficient and cleaner burn.

In addition to improving the efficiency of your wood stove and enhancing its efficiency by executing the "dry burn" every week. This technique reduces creosote which increases the efficiency of boilers and prolongs the life of your boiler. By affixing a creosote-removing stick to your stove each time you fill it up, you can dramatically reduce the amount of creosote that you need to use. The product is available from Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

The soot particles that are left behind after burning wood can make a wood stove look very dirty. They are difficult to remove and therefore, you must clean any buildup that may be on the glass of your stove as soon as you notice it. In the event that the soot is not removed, it will harden and be even more difficult to remove. It is crucial to select the right cleaners however, you should avoid damaging the glass surface with anything that may scratch it. This could result in a weak spot that could break the glass if it's exposed to high temperatures.

Before you begin cleaning your wood stove, it is important to ensure that it is not lit and completely cool. Make sure that you surround it with newspaper. This will prevent any spillage of ash that can cause stains and marks on surfaces.

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

A sediment flush should be performed on your boiler every four years. This is a straightforward flush that takes five seconds from the drain valve on your boiler. This will remove any sediment that has built up inside the system, and will keep your boiler in great operating condition.

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

Simple to operate

Despite their popularity (they were among the 1990s' "it" trends, together with mullet hairstyles) outdoor wood boilers, also referred to as outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heaters, are still often misunderstood. They're not the same as the well-known EPA wood stoves, which are made to burn at low temperatures and continuously. They are able to produce a higher rate of fire and generate more smoke. This is why some local governments regulate or ban their use.

OWBs are best used to heat homes with insulation levels that are high. Smoke that is dense and smoldering may cause annoyance to neighbors, resulting in many OWBs to be shut down or sued. For OWBs, dry wood with a lower moisture content is needed to function properly. Utilizing unseasoned or green wood reduces efficiency, leads to creosote build up and can cut down the life of the burner. A moisture gauge will allow you determine the time it takes for wood to dry.

In contrast dual-stage wood gasification boilers (OWGB) make use of three steps which makes use of the available energy in the wood, resulting in much less smoke. These types of furnaces are far more efficient than conventional OWBs and can be used with a larger range of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry and seasoned wood. The majority of wood can be seasoned over the course of the course of a year. Oak and other tough trees can take as long as two years to mature. They are less watery and have a larger mass. This allows them retain heat for longer, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing pollution. The EPA's "Burn Wise" website and Cornell Cooperative Extension can help homeowners learn more about burning wood efficiently, thereby reducing air pollution.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood furnaces are designed with the environment in mind. Modern outdoor wood furnaces do not produce excessive CO2 or heat. They also burn cleaner than indoor wood stoves. They also require less wood to provide the same amount of heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor wood burners require less maintenance and are more accepting of wood moisture content than indoor wood Burning stove wood burning stoves. However outdoor wood burners can only be used with properly treated or "cured" cheap wood burner. Certain types of wood may last for up to a year. It is crucial to use a moisture meter to check the water content of your wood before loading.

In the course of operation, it is crucial to examine the system on a regular basis to check for accumulation of creosote. Creosote, a by-product of combustion, may build up in the chimney and flue if they aren't cleaned regularly. It can be removed using a creosote removal solution that is poured into the flame. Regularly cleaning the flue and chimney will remove dangerous creosote accumulations, and increase efficiency.

In order to attain 99% efficiency in combustion, Crown Royal Stoves designed a brand new air flow technique called Negative Pressure Gasification. Our EPA certified Pristine Series outdoor wood furnaces make use of this technology to draw air from the bottom, forcing all the gasses into an insulated water-surrounded secondary combustion chamber with easy-clean Turbulators to ensure a smoke-free and pollution-free burn.
