What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burners are a cost-effective method of heating homes and businesses. They also reduce the dependence on fossil fuels that are not renewable and aid in a sustainable energy strategy.

To ensure efficient burning, it is important to use seasoned wood. Wood that is not seasoned or green has higher moisture content and can create creosote accumulation, which can affect performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners have been around for a long time. They are an energy-efficient and eco-friendly method of heating your home. The typical design of OWBs favors the slowing of the fire, making it cooler which results in poorer combustion and a higher amount of smoke and creosote. These unburned fuels can cause health problems, fire hazards and degrade the environment.

Furthermore the visible smoke plume that OWBs emit can make neighbors angry and result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) enforcement actions. This type of public relations issue can have a serious impact on the value of your property and could result in your OWB being shut down.

Crown Royal Stoves offers a range of EPA Certified outdoor wood burning stoves small furnaces called the Pristine Gasification Series that utilizes technology to boost the efficiency of combustion to ensure a smokeless, clean burning. This is achieved by using a negative-pressure air system which pulls in fresh dry heated, filtered air from the bottom and then pushes it out through the chimney much faster than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is achieved by an innovative design that utilizes an incredibly efficient multi-pass water-filled heat exchanger made of 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

Properly used, the Pristine Series OWB achieves an efficiency of 99% for a cleaner and smoke-free fire. It consumes less wood and produces significantly fewer emission than traditional OWBs. To enhance your OWB's performance it is crucial to burn clean, seasoned, dry wood. It is recommended to prepare your wood for six months or one year before burning it. This will ensure an efficient and clean burn.

You can improve the efficiency of your wood heater stove-burning stove by performing each week a "dry burn". This method eliminates creosote build up, keeps your boiler running efficiently and increases its lifespan. By affixing a creosote-removing stick to your stove each time you fill it up, you can drastically reduce the amount of creosote you use. This product is available from Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

The soot particles left in the aftermath of burning wood can make a wood stove look very dirty. These are very hard to shift, so if you see any spots of buildup on the glass of your stove, you must clean them immediately. If not, the soot will begin to harden and be even more difficult to remove. Using the right cleaners for the job is vital however, you must also ensure that you're not damaging the surface of the glass with anything that might scratch it. This could result in an area of weakness that could break the glass when exposed to high temperatures.

Before you begin cleaning your wood stove, you should make sure that it is not lit and completely cool. Be sure that you surround it with newspaper. This will stop any ash spillage that could stain and mark surfaces.

Based on the quality of the wood that you choose to use, it could take up to one year for your stove to be properly and seasoned. The wood that is seasoned will not only burn more efficiently, but also produce less creosote. This is the material that accumulates on your chimney, reducing efficiency and creating the risk of fire. If you're using wood that's not seasoned or are just beginning an outdoor fire fireplace, you should open the lower backdoor and scoop the all the ashes into a nonflammable container each week.

You should also perform an annual sediment flush on your boiler at least every four years. This is a straightforward flush that takes five seconds from the bottom drain valve on your boiler. This will remove any sediment that has built up within the system and help keep your boiler in great operating condition.

Once you've completed the sediment flush, it's time to clean the outside wood burners of your outdoor wood burner. Before you begin, it's crucial to cover the stove's area with newspaper. Wearing gloves and eye protection is also a good idea. You should also have a ash canister made of metal as well as a scraping tool and a shovel. You can make use of a cloth as a shield to shield the refractory from damage while you remove ash and coal deposits.

Simple to Operate

Outdoor wood boilers (also called outdoor furnaces, outdoor wood hydronic heating systems or outdoor wood heaters) are often misunderstood, despite their acclaim. They were among the "it" trends of the 1990s, alongside hairstyles for mullets. They are different from the popular EPA wood stoves, which are made to burn low temperatures and run continuously. They use more burning and generate more smoke. Some local governments restrict or prohibit their use.

OWBs are great for heating homes with a high insulation level. The smoldering, dense visible smoke is also a source of complaints from neighbors and has led to many OWBs being shut-down or being sued in the past. To ensure that OWBs to operate properly they must be used with dry wood with a low moisture content. Green or unseasoned wood will reduce efficiency, causing creosote to accumulate and decrease the life of the burner. Drying wood takes time, and a moisture meter is a must for any homeowner.

Dual-stage wood gasification (OWGB) boilers, on the other hand they employ a three-step procedure that utilizes more of the energy contained in the wood burning stove in conservatory. This results in less smoke. These types of furnaces are much more efficient than traditional OWBs and can be used with a larger variety of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry and seasoned wood. Most wood will season within a year, however oak and other hardy species may take two or more years to fully season. This is due to less water content and denser mass. This enables them to hold heat longer, thus increasing efficiency and decreasing 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 eco-friendly. Modern outdoor wood furnaces don't generate excessive heat or CO2. They also burn more efficiently 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 and are more tolerant of the moisture content of wood than wood burning stoves for indoor use. Outdoor wood burners are suitable for wood that has been properly "cured" or seasoned. This could take a whole year or more for certain kinds of wood. It is essential to utilize a moisture gauge to check the water content of your wood prior to loading.

When operating, it is essential to examine the system on a regular basis for the accumulation of creosote. Creosote is an byproduct of combustion and can build up in the chimney and flue in the event that it is not cleaned frequently. It can be removed with a special creosote removal product that is poured into the fire. Regular cleaning of the flue and chimney will remove dangerous creosote and improve efficiency.

Crown Royal Stoves developed a new airflow technology called Negative Pressure Gasification to ensure 99% efficiency in combustion. This technology is employed in our EPA certified Pristine Series Outdoor Wood Furnaces to draw air 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 Turbulators. The result is a smokeless and pollutant free burn.
