What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners Outdoor wood burners are an affordable way to heat homes and businesses. They also help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels that are non-renewable and contribute to a resilient energy strategy. For efficient combustion for efficient burning, it is crucial to use seasoned wood. Green or unseasoned wood may contain more moisture, which can create creosote and slow down performance. small wood burning stove have been around for many years. They are an energy efficient and green method of heating your home. However, the design of OWBs, which encourages the slow and cooler burning which results in less combustion and a higher amount of smoke, creosote, and particulates. These unburned fuels could cause health issues as well as fire hazards and affect the environment around them. Furthermore, the visible plume of smoke that OWBs produce could cause neighbors to voice their concerns and result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) enforcement action. This type of issue can affect the value of your property, and may lead to your OWB being closed down. Crown Royal Stoves has a range of outdoor wood furnaces that are EPA Certified. The Pristine Gasification Series utilizes technology to increase the efficiency of combustion and produce an unburned, clean and smoke-free. This is achieved by using the negative pressure air system that pulls fresh, dry, hot clean air in from the bottom of the boiler and pushes it back out through the chimney at a more rapid rate than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is accomplished through a unique design which uses a multi-pass water-filled heat exchanger made from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel. If properly used, when properly used, the Pristine Series OWB has an 99% efficiency in combustion for a cleaner and smokeless fire. small wood burning stove uses less wood and produces significantly less emissions than traditional OWBs. To maximize your OWB's performance it is essential to burn dry, clean, seasoned wood. It is recommended to get your wood seasoned for six months or one year before burning it. This will result in the most efficient and clean burn. You can improve the efficiency of your wood-burning stove by executing every week a “dry burn”. This method lowers the amount of creosote in your home, increases boiler efficiency and extends the life of your boiler. By affixing a creosote-removing stick to your stove every time you fill it up, you can dramatically reduce the amount of creosote you need to use. This product is available from Wisconsin Wood Furnace. Clean A wood-burning stove could be extremely dirty due to burned soot particles. They are difficult to get rid of and therefore, you must clean any buildup that may be on your stove's glass immediately. Soot that is not removed will harden and make it more difficult to remove. It is essential to use the right cleaners, but you should also be careful not to scratch the glass with anything that may scratch it. This could lead to a weak point that will shatter glass when exposed high temperatures. Be sure to let your wood stove cool completely before cleaning it. Make sure to protect the area around it with newspaper. This will prevent the ash from spreading and staining surfaces. Depending on the quality of the wood that you use, it can take up to one year for your stove to become properly seasoned. Seasoned wood will not only burn more efficiently, but will create less creosote. This is the kind of material that gets accumulated on your chimney, reducing efficiency and creating the risk of fire. If you're 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 out the ashes into a non-combustible container each week. A sediment flush should be carried out on your boiler every four years. This is a simple five second flush from the bottom drain valve on your boiler. This will eliminate any debris that has accumulated inside the system and keep your boiler in top operating condition. After you have cleaned the outside of your outdoor fireplace It is now time to clean it. Before you begin, it's important to cover the area around the stove with newspaper. It is also advisable to wear protective eyewear and gloves. Also, you should have an ash container, a shovel container for ash and an instrument for scraping. You can make use of a cloth as an insulator to shield the refractory from damage while you scrape away coal and ash deposits. Easy to Operate Despite their popularity (they were among the 1990s' “it” trends, along with mullet haircuts) outdoor wood boilers, also referred to as outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heaters are frequently misunderstood. These units are not like the popular EPA wood stoves, which are built to burn at low temperatures and run continuously. They use more combustion and produce more smoke. Some local governments limit or ban their use. OWBs are best used to heat homes with insulation levels that are high. The smoldering, visible smoke is also a cause of complaints from neighbors, and has led to numerous OWBs being shut down or sued in the past. In order for OWBs to operate properly they must be used with dry wood that has low moisture content. The use of unseasoned or green wood decreases efficiency, causes creosote to build up and may reduce the lifespan 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) make use of three steps that uses more of the available energy in the wood, resulting in much less smoke. These furnaces are more efficient than traditional OWBs and can be used to fuel many different fuels. Wood gasification boilers need dry, seasoned wood. The majority of wood will season in a year. Oak and other tough trees could take as long as two years. They are less watery and have a larger mass. This lets them store heat longer, thus increasing efficiency and reducing pollution. The EPA's “Burn Wise” website and Cornell Cooperative Extension can help homeowners understand how to burn wood efficiently to minimize air pollution. Low Maintenance Modern outdoor wood furnaces are constructed with the environment in mind. In contrast to indoor wood burners which emit significant smoke modern outdoor furnaces burn cleanly and without the production of excessive carbon monoxide or heat. 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 moisture content in wood than wood burning stoves for indoor use. Outdoor wood burners are only suitable for wood that has been properly “cured” or dried or. This could take a whole year or more for certain kinds of wood. It is essential to utilize a moisture gauge to measure the amount of water of your wood before loading. When the system is in operation, it is important to check the system regularly for the accumulation of creosote. Creosote is a byproduct of combustion and can build up in the flue and chimney in the event that it is not cleaned on a regular basis. It can be eliminated by pouring a creosote removing product into the fire. Regular cleaning of the flue and chimney will eliminate dangerous creosote and increase efficiency. To get 99% efficiency from combustion, Crown Royal Stoves designed an innovative air flow technology called Negative Pressure Gasification. Our EPA certified Pristine Series outdoor wood furnaces utilize this technology to pull air from the bottom, directing all of the gasses through an insulated, water-surrounded secondary combustion chamber that is easy to clean turbines for a smokeless and pollutant-free burn.
