What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burners are an affordable method of heating homes and businesses. They also help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels that are non-renewable and aid in a sustainable energy strategy.

A well-seasoned wood is vital for efficient burning. Unseasoned or green wood can contain more moisture which can cause creosote to accumulate and slow down performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners (OWBs) have been around for years and provide an eco-friendly and energy efficient way to heat your home. The typical design of OWBs encourages a slower, cooler fire which leads to less efficient combustion and more smoke and creosote. These unburned fuels could cause health problems, fire hazards, and deteriorate the surrounding environment.

Moreover the visible smoke plume produced by OWBs can make neighbors angry and lead to DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) enforcement action. This kind of public relations issue could be a significant impact on the value of your property and could result in your OWB being shut down.

Crown Royal Stoves offers a line of EPA Certified outdoor wood furnaces that are referred to as the Pristine Gasification Series that utilizes technology to boost the efficiency of combustion for a clean, smokeless burning. This is done through a negative pressure air system that draws in fresh dry heated, filtered, and heated air from the bottom and pushes it out through the chimney at a much faster rate than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is achieved through an innovative design that makes use of a multi-pass, water-filled heat exchanger constructed from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

When properly used when properly used, When properly used, the Pristine Series OWB has an 99% efficiency in combustion for a cleaner and smoke-free fire. It uses less wood, and produces significantly less emissions than traditional OWBs. To maximize the effectiveness of your OWB it is crucial to burn only dry, clean, and seasoned wood. Seasoning your wood for six months or more prior to burning is recommended and will ensure a more efficient energy efficient and efficient burn.

You can increase the efficiency of your wood-burning stove by performing each week a "dry burn". This technique reduces creosote which increases the efficiency of boilers and extends the lifespan of your boiler. By adding a creosote-removing stick to your stove each time you fill it, you can dramatically reduce the amount of creosote that you use. The product is available through Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

The soot particles left in the aftermath of burning wood can make a stove look very dirty. They are extremely difficult to remove If you notice any spots of buildup on the glass of your stove, wash them immediately. Soot that is not removed will begin to harden, making it even more difficult. It is essential to select the right cleaners, but you should also avoid damaging the glass surface by using anything that can scratch it. This could result in a weak spot that could shatter the glass when it's exposed to high temperatures.

Be sure to let your wood burner cool completely before cleaning it. Also, ensure that the area around it is covered with newspaper. This will prevent any ash spillage that can stain and mark surfaces.

It could take up to one year for the seasoning process of your stove to be completed, 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 substance that accumulates on your chimney, reducing effectiveness and creating the risk of fire. If you're using unseasoned wood or you're just starting an outdoor fire fireplace, you should open the lower backdoor, and scoop out all the ashes into a nonflammable container every week.

You should also perform a 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 debris that has accumulated inside the system and keep your boiler in top functioning condition.

Once you have done the sediment flush, it's time to clean the outside of your outdoor wood burner. Before starting, it's important to cover the floor around the stove with newspaper. It is also beneficial to wear protective eyewear and gloves. Also, you should have a metal ash container along with a scraping tool as well as a shovel. To safeguard the refractory, you should lay down a piece of cloth to shield it as you scrape away ash and coal deposits.

Easy to Operate

Best wood burning stoves  (also called outdoor furnaces, outdoor wood hydronic heating systems or outdoor wood heaters) are often misunderstood in spite of their acclaim. They were one of the "it" trends of the 1990s, alongside hairstyles for mullets. Contrary to the EPA's popular wood stoves, which are designed to burn at low, constant temperatures, these heaters use more fire and generate more smoke when operating. Certain local governments restrict or prohibit their use.

OWBs work best in homes with a high level of insulation. Smoke that is dense and smoldering could cause annoyance to neighbors, resulting in many OWBs to be shut down or even sued. For OWBs dry wood that has lower moisture content is required to function effectively. The use of unseasoned or green wood decreases efficiency, causes creosote accumulation and can cut down the life of the burner. A moisture gauge will allow you to determine how long it takes for wood to dry.

In contrast, dual-stage wood gasification boilers (OWGB) employ a three step process which makes use of the available energy from the wood and results in a lesser amount of smoke. These kinds of furnaces are more efficient than conventional OWBs and can be used with a greater range of fuel. Wood gasification boilers need dry, seasoned wood. Most wood will season within a year, however oak and other species with a hardy structure may take two years or more to fully mature. This is because they have less water content and denser mass. This allows them to hold 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 how to burn wood efficiently in order to reduce air pollution.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood furnaces are constructed with the environment in mind. Modern outdoor wood furnaces don't generate 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 treated or "cured" wood. Certain types of wood may last for up to a year. Use a moisture gauge prior to loading to check the amount of water in the wood.

During operation, it is essential to periodically inspect the system for creosote build up. Creosote is a byproduct from combustion and can build up in the chimney and flue in the event that it is not cleaned on a regular basis. It can be removed using the use of a special creosote remover that is poured into the fire. Regular cleaning of the chimney and flue will remove dangerous creosote and increase efficiency.

In order to get 99% efficiency from combustion, Crown Royal Stoves designed an innovative air flow technology known as Negative Pressure Gasification. This technology is utilized in our EPA certified Pristine Series Outdoor Wood Furnaces to draw air upwards 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 and pollutant free burning.
