What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners Outdoor wood burning stoves 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. To ensure efficient burning it is essential to use well-seasoned wood. Unseasoned or green wood can have a higher moisture content that can cause creosote to accumulate and decrease performance. indoor wood burning stove have been around for many years. They are an energy-efficient and green method of heating your home. The design of OWBs encourages a slower, cooler fire which results in less efficient combustion and more smoke and creosote. These unburned fuels could cause health issues as well as fire hazards, and can also harm the environment. Additionally, the visible smoke plume produced by OWBs can cause neighbors to complain and could lead to DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) enforcement actions. This type of issue can affect the value of your property, and may cause your OWB being shut down. Crown Royal Stoves has a range of outdoor wood furnaces that are EPA Certified. The Pristine Gasification Series utilizes technology to improve the efficiency of combustion and provide an unburned, clean and smoke-free. This is achieved by using a negative-pressure air system that pulls 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 accomplished through a unique design that utilizes an encapsulated, multi-pass heat exchanger made of 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel. When properly used when properly used, when used correctly, the Pristine Gasification Series OWB can attain a 99% combustion efficiency to create a cleaner, smokeless fire that uses less wood and generates significantly fewer emissions than traditional OWBs. It is important to use dry, clean, and seasoned wood to increase the performance of your OWB. The process of preparing your wood for 6 months or more prior to burning is recommended. It will ensure a more efficient energy efficient and efficient burn. In addition to increasing the efficiency of your wood stove and enhancing the efficiency of your wood burner by performing an “dry burn” every week. This method lowers the amount of creosote in your home which improves boiler efficiency and prolongs the life of your boiler. In addition by putting in a creosote removal stick each time you fill your stove, you can dramatically reduce the amount of creosote used. This product is available through Wisconsin Wood Furnace. Clean A wood burning stove can be extremely dirty due to burned soot particles. These are very hard to move If you notice any spots of soot build-up on the glass of your stove, wash them as soon as you notice them. Otherwise the soot will get harder and become more difficult to get off. It's important to select the right cleaners, but you should also be careful not to scratch the glass with anything that may scratch it. This could result in an area of weakness that could shatter the glass when it's exposed to high temperatures. Make sure you let your wood burner cool completely before cleaning it. Be sure that you surround it with newspaper. This will stop any ash spillage that could stain and mark surfaces. It could take as long as one year for your stove's seasoning to be complete, based on the quality of the wood you select. The wood that has been treated with a seasoned finish will not only burn more efficiently, but will also produce less creosote. This is the material that gets accumulated on your chimney, which reduces efficiency and creating the risk of fire. If you're using wood that's not seasoned or you're just starting an outdoor fire fireplace, it's best to open the lower backdoor and scoop out ashes into a noncombustible container each week. You should also perform an annual sediment flush on your boiler at least every four years. This is a quick five-second flush from the drain valve on your boiler. This will eliminate any accumulation of sediment inside the system and ensure that your boiler is in good operating condition. After you have cleaned the exterior of your fireplace outside It is now time to clean it. Before you begin, make sure 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 canister, a scraping tool and a shovel. To safeguard the refractory, you should lay a cloth on it to protect it while 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, despite their popularity. They were among the “it” trends of the 1990s, along with hairstyles for mullets. Unlike their cousin the EPA's popular wood stoves which are designed to burn at low, constant temperatures, these boilers have a higher fire rate and emit more smoke when operating. Some local governments restrict or prohibit their use. OWBs are best used to heat homes with insulation levels that are high. Smoke that is thick and smoldering can also be a nuisance to neighbors, resulting in many OWBs to be shut down or sued. In order for OWBs to function properly, they should be operated with dry wood that has a low moisture content. The use of unseasoned or green wood decreases efficiency, causes creosote build up and can reduce the lifespan of the burner. Drying wood takes time and an instrument to measure moisture is a must for any homeowner. In contrast dual-stage wood gasification boilers (OWGB) utilize three steps of process that uses more of the available energy in the wood and results in much less smoke. These kinds of furnaces are far more efficient than conventional OWBs and can be used with a larger range of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry well-seasoned and well-seasoned firewood. The majority of wood will season within one year. Oak and other hardy trees could take as long as two years. This is due to less amount of water and a higher density. This enables them to hold heat longer, thus increasing efficiency and reduce pollution. The EPA's “Burn Wise” website and Cornell Cooperative Extension can help homeowners understand how to burn wood efficiently in order to reduce air pollution. Low Maintenance Modern outdoor wood stoves are engineered to be environmentally friendly. Modern outdoor wood furnaces don't 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 wood burning stoves that are indoor. Outdoor wood burners are only suitable for wood that has been properly “cured” or seasoned. Certain kinds of wood can last for up to a year. Use a moisture meter before loading to check the amount of water contained in the wood. During operation it is important to inspect the system periodically to check for accumulation of creosote. Creosote, a by-product of combustion, can 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. Regularly cleaning the chimney and flue will help eliminate dangerous creosote buildup and improve efficiency. To get 99% efficiency from combustion, Crown Royal Stoves designed an innovative air flow technology known as Negative Pressure Gasification. Our EPA certified Pristine Series outdoor wood furnaces utilize this technology to pull air from the bottom, pushing all gasses through an insulated water-surrounded secondary combustion chamber, which is easy-clean turbines for a smokeless and pollutant-free burn.
