What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burners can be a cost-effective solution for heating homes and businesses. They also help reduce the dependence on fossil fuels that are not renewable and help to create a more resilient energy strategy.

For efficient combustion, it is important to use seasoned wood. Wood that is not seasoned or green may have a higher moisture content, which can cause creosote to accumulate and slow down performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners (OWBs) have been around for many years and provide an green and efficient method to heat your home. However, the typical design of OWBs, which promotes the slow and cooler burning, results in less combustion and a higher amount of smoke, creosote and particulates. Unburned fuels can lead to health issues, fire hazards, and cause harm to the environment around it.

Moreover, the visible smoke puffs that OWBs produce can cause neighbors to complain. This could lead to DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) and taking enforcement actions. This kind of public relations issue can 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 increase the efficiency of combustion for a clean, smoke-free burning. This is achieved through a negative pressure air system that draws in fresh dry heated, filtered air from the bottom, and then pushes it through the chimney much faster than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is achieved through the unique design of an encapsulated, multi-pass heat exchanger made from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

When used properly, when used correctly, the Pristine Gasification Series OWB can reach an efficiency of 99% for a cleaner, smokeless fire that consumes less wood and generates significantly less emissions than traditional OWBs. To enhance the effectiveness of your OWB it is essential to burn dry, clean, and seasoned wood. Seasoning your wood for 6 months or more prior to burning is recommended and will ensure a more efficient and more efficient burn.

You can improve the efficiency of your wood-burning stove by executing each week a "dry burn". This technique eliminates creosote buildup, keeps your boiler running efficiently and increases its life span. By adding a stick for removing creosote to your stove every time you fill it, you can drastically reduce the amount of creosote you use. This product is available from Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

A wood-burning stove can become very small wood burning stove dirty from burnt soot particles. They are difficult to remove so make sure you remove any buildup from the glass of your stove immediately. Any soot that is not eliminated will become hard and make it more difficult. It is crucial to select the right cleaners however, you must be careful not to scratch the glass by using anything that can scratch it. This could cause a weak point that will shatter glass when exposed to extreme temperatures.

Before you begin cleaning your wood burner, it is important to ensure that it is unlit and completely cool. Be sure to surround it with newspaper. This will stop any spillage of ash that can stain and mark surfaces.

It could take as long as one year for the seasoning of your stove to be completed, based on the quality of the wood you choose to use. The wood that is treated with a seasoned finish will not only burn more efficiently, but also produce less creosote. This is the substance that gets accumulated on your chimney, which reduces efficiency and creating a fire hazard. If you're using wood that's not seasoned or are just beginning a fire in your outdoor fireplace, it's recommended to open the lower backdoor, and scoop out the ashes into a non-combustible container each week.

It is also recommended to perform a sediment flush on your boiler at least every four years. This involves a simple five-second flush from the bottom drain valve of your boiler. This will eliminate any sediments that have accumulated in the system and ensure that your boiler is operating efficiently.

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 important to cover the stove's area with newspaper. It is also helpful to wear protective eyewear and gloves. You should also have an ash container, a shovel container for ash, and an instrument for scraping. To protect the refractory you should lay a cloth on it to shield it as you scrape away ash and coal deposits.

Easy to operate

Outdoor wood boilers (also called outdoor furnaces and outdoor wood hydronic heating systems or outdoor wood heaters) are often misunderstood in spite of their popularity. They were among the "it" trends of the 1990s, as were mullet hairstyles. Unlike their cousin the EPA's popular wood stoves, which are designed to burn at constant, low temperatures, these units use more fire and produce more smoke when operating. This is why some local governments have a policy of regulating or banning their use.

OWBs are great to heat homes with a high insulation level. The smoldering, dense visible smoke is also a cause of complaints from neighbors, and has led to numerous OWBs being shut down or sued in the past. To allow OWBs to operate properly they must be operated using dry wood that has low moisture content. Using green or unseasoned wood can reduce efficiency, cause creosote accumulation and can cut down the life of the burner. Drying wood takes time, and an instrument to measure moisture is a must for the homeowner.

Dual-stage wood gasification (OWGB) boilers are, on the other hand utilize a three-step process that utilizes more of the energy contained in the wood. This means less smoke. These kinds of furnaces are far more efficient than conventional OWBs and can be used with a wider variety of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry and seasoned wood. The majority of wood will season within the course of a year. Oak and other tough trees can take up to two years to mature. They are less water-based and have a denser mass. This allows them retain heat for longer, thus increasing efficiency and reducing pollution. The EPA's "Burn Wise" website and Cornell Cooperative Extension can help homeowners learn more about how to burn wood efficiently in order to reduce pollution to the air.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood stoves are designed to be environmentally friendly. Contrary to indoor wood stoves that generate significant smoke modern outdoor furnaces burn cleanly without the release of excessive heat or carbon monoxide. They also require less wood to produce 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 wood burning stove use. Outdoor wood burners are only suitable for wood that has been properly "cured" or dried or. This can take a year or more for some types of small wood burning stove. It is crucial to utilize a moisture gauge to measure the amount of water of your wood before loading.

In the course of operation, it is crucial to inspect the system periodically for creosote accumulation. Creosote is a by-product of combustion, can accumulate in the chimney and flue if they are not cleaned regularly. It can be removed by pouring a creosote removing product into the fire. Regular cleaning of the flue and chimney will remove dangerous creosote and improve efficiency.

In order to get 99% efficiency from combustion, Crown Royal Stoves designed a new air flow technology known as Negative Pressure Gasification. Our EPA certified Pristine Series outdoor wood furnaces employ this technology to pull air from the bottom, pushing all of the gasses through an insulated water-surrounded secondary combustion chamber that is easy to clean turbines for a smokeless and pollution free combustion.
