What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

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

A well-seasoned wood is vital for efficient burning. Unseasoned or green wood has higher moisture content and can create creosote buildup which reduces performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners (OWBs) have been around for many years and provide an energy efficient and environmentally friendly method of heating your home. However, the typical design of OWBs that encourages the slow and cooler burning, results in poor combustion and more smoke, creosote, and particulates. These unburned fuels can cause health issues, fire hazards and degrade the environment.

Furthermore the visible plume of smoke produced by OWBs can make neighbors angry and lead to DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) enforcement action. This kind of issue could have a negative impact on your property value and even lead to your OWB being closed down.

Crown Royal Stoves offers a line of EPA Certified outdoor wood furnaces called the Pristine Gasification Series that utilizes technology to increase the efficiency of combustion to ensure a smokeless, clean burning. This is achieved through a negative pressure air system that pulls fresh, dry, hot clean air in from the bottom of the boiler and pushes it out through the chimney at a much greater rate than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is achieved by an innovative design that utilizes a multi-pass water-filled heat exchanger made from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

If properly utilized, when properly used, the Pristine Series OWB achieves an efficiency of 99% for a cleaner and smoke-free fire. It uses less wood and produces a lot less emission than traditional OWBs. To enhance the performance of your OWB it is crucial to burn only dry, clean, and seasoned wood. Seasoning your wood for 6 months or more prior to burning is recommended. This helps ensure a smoother and more efficient burn.

You can increase the efficiency of your wood-burning stove through every week a "dry burn". This method helps to eliminate creosote build up, keeps your boiler efficient and extends its lifespan. Additionally, by adding a creosote-removing stick every when you load your stove, you will be able to drastically cut the amount of creosote used. This product is available through Wisconsin Wood Burning Stoves Furnace.

Clean

The soot particles left in the aftermath of burning wood can make a wood stove look very small wood burner dirty. These are very hard to shift, so if you see any spots of soot build-up on the glass of your stove, clean them as soon as you notice them. If not, the soot will begin to become harder and more difficult to remove. Using the right cleaning products for the job is essential, but also be sure you're not damaging the glass's surface with anything that might scratch it. This could result in a weak point that will break glass when exposed to high temperatures.

Be sure to let your wood burner cool completely before cleaning it. Be sure you cover the area surrounding it with newspaper. This will prevent the ash from leaking and staining surfaces.

It can take up to one year for the seasoning of your stove to be complete, depending on the quality of wood you use. The wood that is seasoned will not only burn more efficiently, but will also produce less creosote. This is the material that gets accumulated on your chimney, reducing efficiency and posing the risk of fire. If you are using unseasoned wood, or just making a fresh fire in your outdoor wood burner the best thing to do is to open up the lower back door and scoop the ashes into a non-combustible container every week.

You should also do an annual sediment flush on your boiler at least every four years. It is a simple flush of five seconds from the bottom drain valve on your boiler. This will eliminate any sediments that have built up in the system, and will ensure that your boiler runs efficiently.

After you have cleaned the exterior of your fireplace that is outside it is time to clean it. Before you begin, it's crucial to cover the stove's perimeter with newspaper. Wearing protective gloves and eyewear is also a good idea. You should also have a ash canister made of metal as well as a scraping tool and shovel. To protect the refractory you should lay a cloth on it to protect it while you scrape away ash and coal deposits.

Easy to operate

Despite their popularity (they were one of the 1990s' "it" trends, along with mullet haircuts) outdoor wood boilers, referred to as outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heaters are often misunderstood. Contrary to the EPA's popular wood stoves that are designed to burn at low, constant temperatures, these units use an increased fire rate and generate more smoke when operating. This is why a few local governments regulate or ban their use.

OWBs are best suited to homes that have high levels of insulation. The smoldering, visible smoke is also a cause of complaint with neighbors, and has led to many OWBs being shut down or sued in the past. For OWBs dry wood with a lower moisture content is required to function properly. Utilizing unseasoned or green wood can reduce efficiency, cause creosote accumulation and can reduce the lifespan of the burner. Drying wood can take time and an instrument to measure moisture is a must for the homeowner.

In contrast dual-stage wood gasification boilers (OWGB) make use of three steps of process that uses more of the available energy from the wood and results in less smoke. These types of furnaces are much more efficient than conventional OWBs and can be used with a greater variety of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry and seasoned wood. Most wood will season within a year, but oak and other species with a hardy structure could take two years or more to fully mature. This is due to a lower water content and denser mass. This allows them to retain heat longer, thus increasing efficiency and decreasing pollution. The EPA's "Burn Wise" website and Cornell Cooperative Extension can help homeowners learn more about burning wood burning fires efficiently to minimize pollution to the air.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood stoves have been designed to be environmentally friendly. Unlike indoor wood burner (writes in the official Cameradb blog) corner wood burner burners that produce significant smoke, modern outdoor furnaces burn efficiently and without the creation of excessive carbon monoxide or heat. They also use less wood to produce the same amount of heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor wood burners require less maintenance than indoor wood burners and are more forgiving 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 kinds of wood. Make use of a moisture meter prior to loading to check the amount of water in the wood.

In the course of operation, it is crucial to inspect the system periodically for the accumulation of creosote. Creosote is a byproduct from combustion and can accumulate in the chimney and flue if it is not cleaned regularly. It can be eliminated by pouring a creosote removal product 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 achieve 99% combustion efficiency. Our EPA certified Pristine Series outdoor wood furnaces utilize this technology to pull air from the bottom, forcing all gasses through an insulated water surrounded secondary combustion chamber that is easy to clean turbulators for a smokeless & pollutant-free combustion.
