What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burners are an affordable way to heat homes and businesses. They also help reduce dependence on fossil fuels that are not renewable and contribute to a resilient energy strategy.

Wood that is well-seasoned is crucial for efficient burning. Unseasoned or green wood can have a higher moisture content which can cause creosote to build up and reduce performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners have been in use for a long time. They are an energy efficient and eco-friendly method of heating your home. However, the typical design of OWBs, which encourages the slow and cooler burning which causes poor combustion and more smoke, creosote, as well as particulates. Unburned fuels can lead to health issues as well as fire hazards and deteriorate the surrounding environment.

This type of public relations issue could be a significant impact on the value of your property and could even result in your OWB being shut down.

This is accomplished through a negative pressure air system that pulls in fresh dry heated, filtered, and heated air from the bottom, and then pushes it through the chimney at a much faster rate than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is achieved through an innovative design that makes use of a multi-pass, water-filled heat exchanger made of 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

When properly used, when properly used, the Pristine Gasification Series OWB can attain a 99% combustion efficiency for a cleaner, smoke-free fire that requires less wood and produces significantly less carbon dioxide than traditional OWBs. To maximize the performance of your OWB it is essential to only burn clean, seasoned, dry wood. It is recommended that you prepare your wood for a period of six months or a year before burning it. This will ensure a more efficient and cleaner burn.

You can boost the efficiency of your wood-burning stove through a weekly "dry burn". This method helps to eliminate creosote buildup, keeps your boiler efficient and extends its life span. In addition, by adding a creosote removal stick each when you load your stove, you will be able to significantly reduce the amount creosote you use.

Using the right cleaning products for the job is vital and you should also make sure you're not damaging the surface of the glass with anything that could scratch it. This could lead to a weak point that will break glass when exposed to extreme temperatures.

Be sure to let your wood stove 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 you select, it can take up to a year for your stove to get properly well-seasoned. The wood that is properly seasoned will not only burn more efficiently, but also produce less creosote. This is the substance that builds up on your fireplace, decreasing its efficiency and posing a potential fire hazard. If you're using wood that's not seasoned or you're just starting a fire in your outdoor fireplace, you should open the lower backdoor, and scoop out the ashes into a non-combustible container every week.

You should also perform a sediment flush on your boiler at least once every four years. This is a simple five second flush from the bottom drain valve of your boiler.

Easy to operate

Outdoor wood boilers (also called outdoor furnaces or outdoor british wood burning stoves hydronic heating systems, or outside wood burners outdoor contemporary wood burning stoves heaters) are often misunderstood, despite their acclaim. They were one of the "it" trends of the 1990s, along with mullet hairstyles. They're not like the popular EPA cast iron wood burner stoves, which are made to burn low temperatures and continuously. They use an increased rate of burning and produce more smoke. Some local governments restrict or ban their use.

OWBs are best suited to homes with high levels of insulation. The visible, smoldering smoke is also a source of complaints from neighbors, and has led to many OWBs being shut down or being sued in the past. To allow OWBs to function properly, they must be operated using dry wood that has low moisture content. Unseasoned or green wood can reduce efficiency, cause creosote to accumulate and decrease the life of the burner. A moisture meter can help you determine how long it takes for wood to dry.

Dual-stage wood burning stove in conservatory gasification (OWGB) boilers are, on the other hand utilize a three-step process that makes use of more energy available in the wood. This results in less smoke. These furnaces are more efficient than conventional OWBs, and can be used to fuel a wide range of fuels. Wood gasification boilers require dry, seasoned wood. The majority of outside wood burners can be seasoned within one year. Oak and other hardy trees could take up to two years. They are less watery and have a denser mass. This lets them store heat longer, increasing efficiency and decreasing pollution. The EPA "Burn Wise' website and Cornell Cooperative Extension are great sources for homeowners to learn how to efficiently burn wood to reduce air pollution.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood furnaces are designed with the environment in mind. Contrary to indoor wood stoves that produce significant smoke modern outdoor furnaces burn cleanly without the creation of excessive heat or carbon monoxide. They also use less wood to produce the same amount 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. Outdoor wood burners are suitable for outside Wood Burners that has been properly "cured" or seasoned. This can take a year or more for some kinds of wood. Use a moisture meter before loading to check the amount of water contained in the wood.

When operating, it is essential to check the system regularly for the accumulation of creosote. Creosote is a byproduct of combustion that can build up in the chimney and flue when it is not cleaned on a regular basis. It can be removed using the use of a special creosote remover that is poured into the fire. Regularly cleaning the chimney and flue will help eliminate dangerous creosote buildup and improve efficiency.

Crown Royal Stoves developed a new airflow technique 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, directing all gasses through an insulated water-surrounded secondary combustion chamber that is easy to clean turbulators for a smokeless & pollutant-free combustion.
