What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burning stoves are a cost-effective method of heating homes and businesses. They also help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels that are non-renewable and help to create a more resilient energy strategy.

Wood that is well-seasoned is crucial for efficient burning. Wood that is not seasoned or green may contain more moisture, which can cause creosote to accumulate and slow down performance.

Efficient

Outdoor corner wood burner burners have been around for many years. They are a cost-effective and eco-friendly method to heat your home. The typical design of OWBs encourages the slowing of the fire, making it cooler which leads to less efficient combustion and more smoke and creosote. These unburnt fuels can cause health problems as well as fire hazards and affect the environment around them.

Moreover the visible smoke that OWBs produce can make neighbors angry and lead to DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) enforcement actions. This type of public relations issue can cause serious damage to the value of your property and could even lead to your OWB being shut down.

Crown Royal Stoves offers a line of EPA Certified outdoor wood furnaces known as the Pristine Gasification Series that utilizes technology to boost the efficiency of combustion for a clean, smokeless burn. This is done by using a negative-pressure air system which pulls fresh, dry heated, filtered air from the bottom, and then pushes it out through the chimney much faster than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is accomplished by an innovative design that utilizes an incredibly efficient multi-pass water-filled heat exchanger made of 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

Properly utilized when properly used, the Pristine Series OWB achieves an 99% efficiency in combustion for a cleaner and smokeless fire. It requires less wood, and produces significantly less emissions than traditional OWBs. It is crucial to use clean, seasoned and dry wood to increase the performance of your OWB. The process of preparing your wood for 6 months or more prior to burning is recommended and helps ensure a better and more efficient burn.

In addition to improving the efficiency of your wood burner it is also possible to increase its efficiency by executing a "dry burn" every week. This technique eliminates creosote buildup, keeps your boiler in good condition and extends its life span. By affixing a creosote-removing stick to your stove every time you fill it, you can drastically reduce the amount of creosote that you use. This product is available from Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

A wood burning stove can become very dirty from burnt soot particles. They are difficult to get rid of and therefore, you must remove any buildup from the glass of your stove as soon as you notice it. Otherwise the soot will become harder and more difficult to remove. It's important to use the right cleaners however, you should be careful not to scratch the glass with anything that may scratch it. This could leave a weak spot that will shatter the glass when it's exposed to high temperatures.

Make sure you let your wood burner cool completely before cleaning it. Make sure to cover the area surrounding it with newspaper. This will prevent any spillage of ash which could stain and mark surfaces.

It can take up to one year for the seasoning of your stove to be completed, based on the quality of the wood you select. The wood that has been seasoned will not only burn more efficiently, but will also produce less creosote. This is the kind of material that accumulates on your chimney, decreasing its effectiveness and creating an hazard for indoor wood burner fire. If you're using unseasoned wood or are just beginning an outdoor Indoor wood burner fire fireplace, you should open the lower backdoor and scoop the ashes into a noncombustible container every week.

You should also do an annual sediment flush on your boiler at least every four years. This is a quick five-second flush from the drain valve on your boiler. This will eliminate any sediments that have built in the system and will ensure that your boiler runs efficiently.

After you have cleaned the outside wood burners of your outdoor fireplace, it is time to clean it. Before you begin, it's important to cover the floor surrounding the stove with newspaper. Wearing protective gloves and eyewear is an excellent idea. Also, you should have an shovel, a metal container for ash, and scraping tools. You can use a cloth as an insulator to protect the refractory as you take off coal and ash deposits.

Easy to Operate

Despite their popularity (they were one of the 1990s' "it" trends, along with mullet haircuts) outdoor wood boilers, also known as outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heaters are frequently misunderstood. They are different from the popular EPA wood stoves, which are made to burn at low temperatures and run continuously. They use more burning and produce more smoke. Certain local governments restrict or ban their use.

OWBs are ideal for heating homes with insulation levels that are high. The smoldering, dense visible smoke is also a source of complaint with neighbors and has led to many OWBs being shut down or sued in the past. In order for OWBs to operate properly they should be operated with dry wood with low moisture content. Unseasoned or green wood will reduce efficiency, causing creosote to accumulate and decrease the life of the burner. A moisture gauge will allow you determine the time it takes for wood to dry.

Dual-stage wood gasification (OWGB) boilers however they employ a three-step procedure that utilizes more of the energy available in the wood. This means less smoke. These furnaces are more efficient than traditional OWBs and can be used to fuel a wide range of fuels. Wood gasification boilers require dry, well-seasoned firewood. The majority of wood will mature in one year. Oak and other hardy trees may take as long as two years. They are less water-based and have a denser mass. This lets them store heat longer, increasing efficiency and reduce pollution. The EPA's "Burn Wise" website and Cornell Cooperative Extension can help homeowners understand how to burn wood efficiently, thereby reducing pollution to the air.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood stoves have been designed to be eco-friendly. Unlike Indoor Wood Burner wood burners that emit significant smoke modern outdoor furnaces burn cleanly without the release of excessive heat or carbon monoxide. They also require less wood to produce the same amount of heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor wood burners require less maintenance than indoor wood burning stove 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 treated or "cured" wood. This could take a whole year or more for certain types of wood. It is essential to use a moisture meter to check the water content of your wood prior to loading.

When operating, it is essential to examine the system on a regular basis for the accumulation of creosote. Creosote, a by-product of combustion, can accumulate in the chimney and flue when they are not cleaned regularly. It can be removed using a special creosote removal product that is poured into the fire. Regular cleaning of the chimney and flue can remove harmful creosote and increase efficiency.

Crown Royal Stoves developed a new airflow technique called Negative Pressure Gasification to achieve 99% combustion efficiency. This technology is utilized in our EPA certified Pristine Series Outdoor Wood Furnaces to draw air from the bottom and push all gases through an enclosed secondary combustion chamber that is which is surrounded by water, with easy-to-clean turbulators. The result is a smokeless and pollution-free burn.
