What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burners are a cost-effective method of heating homes and businesses. They also help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels that are non-renewable and help to create a more resilient energy strategy.

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

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners (OWBs) have been around for years and are an extremely eco-friendly and energy efficient method of heating your home. However, the standard design of OWBs, which promotes a slow, cooler fire that causes poor combustion and more smoke, creosote and particulates. Unburned fuels can lead to health problems, fire hazards and degrade the environment.

Moreover, the visible smoke plume that OWBs emit can cause neighbors to complain and result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) enforcement action. This type of public relations issue could have a serious impact on the value of your property and could even lead to your OWB being shut down.

Crown Royal Stoves has a line of outdoor wood furnaces that are EPA Certified. The Pristine Gasification Series makes use of technology to increase the efficiency of combustion and create a smokeless, clean burn. This is done with a negative-pressure air system that draws fresh, dry heated, filtered, and heated air from the bottom, and then pushes it up the chimney much faster than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is achieved through the unique design of a multi-pass, water-filled heat exchanger made from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

Properly used when properly used, When properly used, the Pristine Series OWB has a 99% combustion rate for a smoke-free and cleaner fire. It requires less wood and produces a lot less emission than traditional OWBs. To maximize your OWB's performance, it is important to burn only dry, clean, and seasoned wood. Seasoning your wood for six months or more prior to burning is recommended. This helps ensure a smoother, more energy efficient burn.

In addition to maximizing the performance of your wood stove, you can also improve its efficiency by executing a "dry burn" every week. This technique reduces creosote which increases the efficiency of boilers and prolongs the life of your boiler. Additionally by putting in a creosote removal stick every when you load your stove, you can significantly reduce the amount creosote you use. This product is available from Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

The soot particles that are left on the stove after burning wood may make a stove look very dirty. They are difficult to get rid of so make sure you remove any buildup from your stove's glass immediately. Soot that is not removed will harden and make it more difficult to remove. Using the correct cleaners for the job is crucial and you should also make sure you're not damaging the glass's surface by using anything that could scratch it. This could result in an area of weakness that could shatter the glass when it's exposed to extreme temperatures.

Before you begin cleaning your wood burner it is important to ensure that it is not lit and completely cool. Also, ensure that the surrounding area is covered with newspaper. This will stop the ash from leaking and staining 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 choose to use. The wood that is seasoned will not only burn better and last longer, but it will also produce less creosote. This is the kind of material that accumulates on your chimney, which reduces effectiveness and creating the risk of fire. If you are using unseasoned wood or are just starting a new fire in your outdoor wood burner the best thing you can do is open the lower back door and scoop the ashes into a non-combustible container every week.

You should also perform an annual sediment flush on your boiler at least once every four years. This is a straightforward flush lasting five seconds from the bottom drain valve on your boiler. This will get rid of any accumulation of sediment inside the system, and will keep your boiler in top operating condition.

After you have cleaned the exterior of your woodburning fireplace Outside wood burners It is now time to clean it. Before you begin, it's important to cover the stove's perimeter with newspaper. Wearing gloves and eye protection is also a good idea. You should also have a metal ash canister along with a scraping tool as well as shovel. You can make use of a cloth as an insulator to protect the refractory while you remove ash and coal deposits.

Easy to operate

Outdoor wood boilers (also known as outdoor furnaces or 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, along with hairstyles with mullets. They are not the same as the well-known EPA wood stoves, which are built to burn low temperatures continuously. They use more burning and produce more smoke. Some local governments limit or ban their use.

OWBs are best used for heating homes with high insulation levels. Smoke that is thick and smoldering could be a nuisance for neighbors, resulting in many OWBs to be shut down or sued. For OWBs dry wood that has lower moisture content is required to work properly. Using green or unseasoned wood reduces efficiency, leads to creosote to build up and may cut down the life of the burner. Drying cheap wood burner can take time and the use of a moisture gauge is a must for the homeowner.

In contrast, dual-stage wood gasification boilers (OWGB) make use of three steps of process that makes use of more available energy in the wood, resulting in a lesser amount of smoke. These kinds of furnaces are far more efficient than traditional OWBs and can be used with a wider range of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry well-seasoned and seasoned firewood. The majority of wood will season within the course of a year. Oak and other tough trees could take up to two years. They are less watery and have a larger mass. This allows them to hold heat for longer, increasing efficiency and reducing pollution. The EPA "Burn Wise" website and Cornell Cooperative Extension are great sources for homeowners to understand how to efficiently burn wood to minimize pollution to the air.

Low Maintenance

modern wood burner outdoor wood furnaces are designed with the environment in mind. Contrary to indoor wood burner wood stoves that produce significant smoke modern outdoor furnaces burn efficiently and without the release of excessive carbon monoxide or heat. They also use less wood to produce the same amount of heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor wood burners also 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 seasoned or "cured" wood. It can take a year or more for some types of wood. Use a moisture meter before loading to check the amount of water present in your wood.

When the system is in operation, it is important to check the system regularly for creosote build up. Creosote is a by-product of combustion, can build up in the flue and chimney if they are not cleaned regularly. It can be eliminated using a special creosote removal product that is poured into the fire. Regular cleaning of the flue and chimney can remove harmful 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 used in our EPA certified Pristine Series Outdoor Wood Furnaces to draw air upwards from the bottom and force all gases through an sealed secondary combustion chamber, surrounded by water with easy-to-clean turbulators. The result is a smokeless and pollutant-free burn.
