What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

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

Wood that is well-seasoned is crucial for efficient burning. Unseasoned or green wood has higher moisture content and may cause creosote that can reduce performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners have been in use for many years. They are a cost-effective and eco-friendly method of heating your home. However, the standard design of OWBs, which promotes the slow and cooler burning, causes poor combustion and more smoke, creosote, as well as particulates. These unburned fuels can lead to health problems, fire hazards and degrade the environment.

Furthermore, the visible smoke plume that OWBs create could cause neighbors to voice their concerns. This may result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) and taking enforcement actions. This type 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 range of EPA Certified outdoor wood furnaces called the Pristine Gasification Series that utilizes technology to maximize combustion efficiency for a clean, smoke-free combustion. This is achieved with a negative-pressure air system that draws in fresh dry, heated, filtered air from the bottom, and then pushes it up the chimney much faster than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is achieved through an innovative design that makes use of a multi-pass, water filled heat exchanger made from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

Properly used properly, the Pristine Series OWB achieves an 99% efficiency in combustion for a cleaner and smoke-free fire. It uses less large wood burning stove, and produces a lot less emission than traditional OWBs. To maximize your OWB's performance, it is important to only burn clean, seasoned, dry wood. Seasoning your wood for 6 months or more prior to burning is recommended and helps ensure a better and more efficient burn.

You can increase the efficiency of your wood-burning stove by executing a weekly "dry burn". This method helps to eliminate creosote build up, keeps your boiler in good condition and extends its lifespan. Lastly by putting in a creosote-removing stick each time you load your stove, you will be able to dramatically reduce the amount of creosote you use. This product is available through Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

A wood burning stove can be extremely dirty due to burned soot particles. They are difficult to remove so make sure you clean any buildup that may be on the glass of your stove immediately. If not, the soot will begin to become harder and more difficult to remove. Using the right cleaners for the job is vital however, outside wood burners you must also ensure that you're not damaging the glass's surface with anything that could scratch it. This could result in a weak point that will shatter glass when exposed to extreme temperatures.

Be sure to let your wood burner cool completely before cleaning it. Also, make sure that the surrounding area is covered with newspaper. This will prevent the ash from spreading and staining surfaces.

Based on the quality of the wood that you choose to use, it could take up to a year for your stove to get properly well-seasoned. Wood that is properly seasoned will not only burn better, but will create less creosote. This is the material which builds up on your woodburning fireplace, decreasing its effectiveness and creating an opportunity for fire hazards. If you're using unseasoned wood, or just beginning a new fire in your outdoor wood burner the best thing you can do is to open up the lower back door and scoop the ashes into a non-combustible container every week.

You should also perform a sediment flush on your boiler at least every four years. This involves a simple five-second flush from the drain valve on your boiler. This will get rid of any debris that has accumulated within the system and help keep your boiler in top functioning condition.

Once you've completed the sediment flush, it's now time to clean the Outside wood burners of your outdoor wood burner. Before beginning, it is important to cover the floor around the stove with newspaper. Wearing protective eyewear and gloves is an excellent idea. You should also have a metal ash container as well as a scraping tool and shovel. To protect the refractory you need to lay down a cloth to protect it while you scrape away ash and coal deposits.

Simple to Operate

Despite their popularity (they were one of the 1990s' "it" trends, together with mullet hairstyles) outdoor wood boilers, also known as outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heaters are often misunderstood. They're different from the popular EPA wood stoves, which are made to burn at low temperatures and continuously. They have an increased rate of burning and generate more smoke. This is the reason why local governments regulate or even ban their use.

OWBs work best for homes that have high levels of insulation. Smoke that is dense and smoldering can also cause annoyance to neighbors, which has led many OWBs to be shut down or sued. For OWBs dry wood with less moisture content is required to work properly. The use of unseasoned or green wood can reduce efficiency, cause creosote build up and can reduce the lifespan of the burner. A moisture meter can help you to determine how long it takes for wood to dry.

Dual-stage wood gasification (OWGB) boilers however, use a three-step process that makes use of more energy available in the Wood burner clearance sale. This means less smoke. These furnaces are more efficient than traditional OWBs and are suitable for various fuels. Wood gasification boilers require dry well-seasoned wood. Most wood will season within a year, however oak and other species with a hardy structure could require two years or more to fully mature. They are less water-based and have a larger mass. This allows them to retain heat longer, thus increasing efficiency and decreasing pollution. The EPA "Burn Wise' website and Cornell Cooperative Extension are great resources for homeowners to learn how to burn wood efficiently to minimize pollution to the air.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood stoves are designed to be environmentally friendly. Modern outdoor wood furnaces don't produce excessive CO2 or heat. They also burn more efficiently than indoor wood burning stove wood stoves. They also require less wood to produce the same amount of heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor wood burners require less maintenance and are more forgiving of the moisture content of wood than indoor wood burning stoves. However, outdoor wood burners can only be used with properly prepared or "cured" wood. This can take a year or more for certain types of wood. It is important to make use of a moisture meter to measure the amount of water of your wood prior to loading.

In the course of operation, it is important to check the system regularly for the build-up of creosote. Creosote is a byproduct of combustion and can accumulate in the flue and chimney if it is not cleaned frequently. It can be removed with a special creosote removal product that is poured into the fire. Regular cleaning of the flue and chimney will eliminate dangerous creosote accumulations, and increase efficiency.

In order to get 99% efficiency from combustion, Crown Royal Stoves designed a new 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 the gasses into an insulated water-surrounded secondary combustion chamber that is easy to clean Turbulators to ensure a smoke-free and pollution free combustion.
