What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners Outdoor wood burners are an economical solution to heat homes and businesses. They also help reduce dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels and help to create a more resilient 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 reduce performance. contemporary wood burners (OWBs) have been around for a long time and offer a very energy efficient and environmentally friendly method of heating your home. The design of OWBs favors the slowing of the fire, making it cooler which results in less efficient combustion and more smoke and creosote. Unburned fuels can cause health problems as well as fire hazards, and can also harm the environment. Moreover the visible smoke plume that OWBs generate can make neighbors complain. This could lead to DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) taking enforcement action. This kind of public relations issue can be a significant 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 utilizes technology to maximize combustion efficiency and produce an unburned, clean and smoke-free. This is done by using a negative-pressure air system that draws fresh, dry heated, filtered air from the bottom and pushes it out through 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 constructed from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel. If properly used when properly used, when properly used, the Pristine Gasification Series OWB can reach a 99% combustion efficiency for a cleaner, smoke-free fire that consumes less wood and produces less carbon dioxide than traditional OWBs. It is essential to burn only dry, clean and seasoned wood in order to enhance the performance of your OWB. It is recommended that you prepare your wood for six months or one year before burning it. This will result in a more efficient and cleaner burn. In addition to improving the efficiency of your wood stove it is also possible to increase its efficiency by executing a “dry burn” every week. This method reduces creosote, increases boiler efficiency and prolongs the life of your boiler. Additionally by adding a creosote remover stick every time you load your stove, you can significantly reduce the amount creosote used. This product is available at Wisconsin Wood Furnace. Clean The soot particles left on the stove after burning wood may make a wood stove look very dirty. These are very hard to shift so if you notice any spots of buildup on the glass of your stove, you must clean them as soon as you notice them. Any soot that is not eliminated will harden, making it even more difficult. Using the right cleaners for the job is essential however, you must also ensure that you're not damaging the surface of the glass with anything that could scratch it. This could result in a weak spot that could break the glass when exposed to high temperatures. Make sure you let your wood stove cool completely before cleaning it. Also, be sure that the area around it is covered with newspaper. This will stop any ash spillage that can cause stains and marks on surfaces. Based on the quality of the wood that you use, it can take up to one year for your stove to become properly and seasoned. The wood that is seasoned will not only burn better and will produce less creosote. This is the kind of material that accumulates on your fireplace, decreasing its efficiency and creating a potential fire hazard. If you're using unseasoned wood or just beginning a new 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 perform an annual sediment flush on your boiler at least every four years. This is a quick five-second flush 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 great functioning condition. Once you've completed the sediment flush, it's now time to clean the outside of your outdoor wood burner. Before starting, it's essential to cover the floor around the stove with newspaper. Wearing protective gloves and eyewear is also a good idea. Also, you should have an ash container, a shovel ash container and scraping tools. To protect the refractory you should lay a cloth on it to protect it from damage as you scrape away ash and coal deposits. Easy to operate Outdoor wood boilers (also called outdoor furnaces, outdoor wood hydronic heating systems or outdoor wood heaters) are often misunderstood despite their popularity. They were among the “it” trends of the 1990s, as were mullet hairstyles. They're different from the popular EPA wood stoves, which are designed to burn at low temperatures and continuously. They are able to produce more fire and generate more smoke. This is why some local governments regulate or ban their use. OWBs work best in homes with high levels of insulation. Smoke that is dense and smoldering may cause annoyance to neighbors, resulting in many OWBs to be shut down or sued. For OWBs dry wood that has less moisture content is needed to perform effectively. Green or unseasoned wood can reduce efficiency, cause creosote to accumulate, and shorten the lifespan of the burner. A moisture meter will help you to determine how long it takes for wood to dry. In contrast dual-stage wood gasification boilers (OWGB) utilize three steps that makes use of more available energy from the wood and results in less smoke. These kinds of furnaces are more efficient than conventional OWBs and can be used with a wider range of fuel. Wood gasification boilers need dry well-seasoned wood. outside wood burners can be seasoned 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 lower volume of water and a greater density. This allows them retain heat for longer, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing pollution. The EPA “Burn Wise' website and Cornell Cooperative Extension are great sources for homeowners to learn how to burn wood efficiently to minimize pollution to the air. Low Maintenance Modern outdoor wood furnaces are designed with the environment in mind. Modern outdoor wood furnaces don't produce excessive heat or CO2. They also burn more efficiently 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 accommodating in regards to the moisture content of the wood. Outdoor wood burners are suitable for wood that has been properly “cured” or seasoned. Certain types of wood may last for up to a year. Make use of a moisture meter prior to loading to determine the amount of water present in the wood. In the course of operation, it is crucial to examine the system on a regular basis for creosote accumulation. Creosote is an byproduct of combustion that can build up in the flue and chimney when it is not cleaned frequently. It can be removed by pouring a creosote-removing product into the fire. Regular cleaning of the chimney and flue will remove dangerous creosote and increase efficiency. Crown Royal Stoves developed a new airflow technology called Negative Pressure Gasification to attain 99% efficiency in combustion. 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, which is easy-clean Turbulators to ensure a smoke-free and pollution-free combustion.
