What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners Outdoor wood burners are a cost-effective method of heating homes and businesses. They also reduce the need for nonrenewable fossils fuels and contribute towards a resilient energy strategy. For efficient burning it is essential to use well-seasoned wood. Wood that is not seasoned or green may contain more moisture which can cause creosote to accumulate and reduce performance. Efficient Outdoor wood burners (OWBs) have been around for a long time and provide an energy efficient and environmentally friendly method of heating your home. However, the typical design of OWBs that encourages an unsteady, cooler fire which results in less combustion and a higher amount of smoke, creosote, and particulates. These unburned fuels could cause health problems and fire hazards, as well as cause harm to the environment around it. Additionally, the visible smoke that OWBs produce can cause neighbors to complain and result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) enforcement action. This kind of public relations issue could have a serious impact on the value of your property and may even lead to your OWB being shut down. Crown Royal Stoves offers a line of EPA Certified outdoor wood furnaces that are referred to as the Pristine Gasification Series that utilizes technology to maximize combustion efficiency to ensure a smokeless, clean burn. This is accomplished through a negative pressure air system that draws fresh, dry, heated, filtered air from the bottom and then pushes it out through the chimney at a much faster rate than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is achieved through a unique design that utilizes an encapsulated, multi-pass heat exchanger constructed from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel. When properly used properly, when properly used, the Pristine Series OWB achieves an 99% efficiency in combustion for a cleaner and smokeless fire. It uses less wood and produces significantly fewer emission than traditional OWBs. To further maximize the performance of your OWB it is crucial to burn only dry, clean, seasoned wood. Seasoning your wood for 6 months or a year prior to burning is recommended. It helps ensure a smoother energy efficient and efficient burn. In addition to increasing the performance of your wood stove it is also possible to increase its efficiency by executing the “dry burn” every week. This method helps to eliminate creosote build up, keeps your boiler running efficiently and increases its lifespan. Additionally by putting in a creosote remover stick every time you fill your stove, you will be able to drastically cut the amount of creosote used. This product is available at Wisconsin Wood Furnace. Clean A wood-burning stove could become very dirty from burnt soot particles. They are extremely difficult to move, so if you see any spots of soot build-up on the glass of your stove, you must clean them as soon as you notice them. Otherwise the soot will get harder and become more difficult to get rid of. Using the right cleaners for the job is essential, but also be sure you're not damaging the glass's surface by using anything that could scratch it. This could result in an area of weakness that could break the glass if it's exposed to high temperatures. Make sure you allow your wood burner to cool completely before cleaning it. Make sure you cover the area surrounding it with newspaper. This will stop the ash from spilling and staining surfaces. Based on the quality of the wood that you select, it can take up to a year for your stove to get properly and seasoned. The wood that is seasoned will not only burn more efficiently, but will also produce less creosote. This is the material that accumulates on your chimney, which reduces efficiency and creating the risk of fire. If you're using wood that's not seasoned, or just starting an outdoor fire fireplace, it's recommended to open the lower backdoor, and scoop out the ashes into a non-combustible container every week. You should also do an annual sediment flush on your boiler at least once every four years. This is a simple five second flush from the drain valve on your boiler. This will remove any sediment that has built in the system and ensure that your boiler is operating efficiently. After you have cleaned the outside of your fireplace that is outside It is now time to clean it. Before you begin, make sure to cover the area around 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 for an insulator to protect the refractory while you scrape away coal and ash deposits. Easy to operate Despite their popularity (they were one of the 1990s' “it” trends, as were mullet haircuts) outdoor wood boilers, also known as outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heaters, are often misunderstood. They are not the same as the well-known EPA wood stoves, which are built to burn at low temperatures and run continuously. small wood burning stove have an increased rate of fire and generate more smoke. Some local governments limit or ban their use. OWBs work best in homes with a high level of insulation. The smoldering, visible smoke is also a cause of complaint with neighbors and has resulted in many OWBs being shut-down or being sued in the past. In order for OWBs to function properly, they must be used with dry wood that has low moisture content. The use of unseasoned or green wood reduces efficiency, leads to creosote to build up and may cut down the life of the burner. A moisture meter can help you determine how long it takes for wood to dry. Dual-stage wood gasification (OWGB) boilers are, on the other hand, use a three-step process that makes use of more energy contained in the wood. This means less smoke. These furnaces are more efficient than traditional OWBs, and can be used for many different fuels. Wood gasification boilers require dry and seasoned wood. The majority of wood will be seasoned within a year, but oak and other hardy species could require two years or more to fully mature. This is because they have lower water content and denser mass. This allows them to retain heat longer, thus increasing efficiency and reduce pollution. The EPA's “Burn Wise” website and Cornell Cooperative Extension can help homeowners learn more about burning wood efficiently, thereby reducing pollution to the air. Low Maintenance Modern outdoor wood furnaces are constructed with the environment in mind. Modern outdoor wood furnaces don't produce excessive CO2 or heat. They also burn more efficiently than indoor wood stoves. They also require less wood to generate the same amount heat as traditional stoves. Outdoor wood burners require less maintenance and are more forgiving of wood moisture content than indoor wood burning stoves. Outdoor wood burners are only suitable for wood that has been properly “cured” or dried or. This can take a year or more for certain types of wood. It is essential to utilize a moisture gauge to determine the amount of water of your wood prior to loading. When the system is in operation, it is necessary to periodically inspect the system for creosote build up. Creosote is a byproduct of combustion that can build up in the chimney and flue when it is not cleaned regularly. It can be eliminated using a special creosote removal product that is poured into the flame. Regular cleaning of the chimney and flue can remove harmful creosote, and boost efficiency. In order to attain 99% efficiency in combustion, Crown Royal Stoves designed a brand new air flow technique called Negative Pressure Gasification. 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, which is easy-clean turbulators for a smokeless & pollution-free combustion.
