What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners Outdoor wood burners are a cost-effective solution for heating homes and businesses. They also help reduce the dependence on fossil fuels that are not renewable and contribute towards a resilient energy strategy. Well-seasoned wood is essential for efficient burning. Unseasoned or green wood can have a higher moisture content that can cause creosote to build up and reduce performance. Efficient Outdoor wood burners (OWBs) have been around for a long time and are an extremely eco-friendly and energy efficient method to heat your home. However, the design of OWBs that encourages the slow and cooler burning which 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. Additionally the visible plume of smoke that OWBs emit can cause neighbors to complain and could lead to DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) enforcement actions. This kind of public relations issue could cause serious damage to the value of your property, and could result in your OWB being shut down. Crown Royal Stoves has a line of outdoor wood furnaces that are EPA Certified. The Pristine Gasification Series makes use of technology to increase the efficiency of combustion and create smokeless, clean burning. This is accomplished with a negative-pressure air system which pulls in fresh, dry heated, filtered, and heated air from the bottom and then pushes it up the chimney much faster than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is accomplished by a unique design that utilizes a multi-pass, water filled heat exchanger constructed from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel. When properly utilized properly, the Pristine Series OWB can achieve an efficiency of 99% for a smoke-free and cleaner fire. It uses less wood and produces significantly less emissions than traditional OWBs. To maximize your OWB's performance, it is important to only burn dry, clean, and seasoned wood. Seasoning your wood for six months or a year prior to burning is recommended. This will ensure a more efficient energy efficient and efficient burn. You can improve the efficiency of your wood-burning stove by executing every week a "dry burn". This technique reduces creosote which improves boiler efficiency and prolongs the life of your boiler. By adding a creosote-removing stick to your stove every time you fill it, you can dramatically reduce the amount of creosote that you need to use. The product is available through Wisconsin Wood Furnace. Clean The soot particles left behind after burning wood can make a wood stove look very dirty. They are difficult to clean so make sure you clean any buildup that may be on the glass of your stove immediately. In the event that the soot is not removed, it will get harder and become more difficult to get off. 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 by using anything that could scratch it. This could cause an area of weakness that could shatter glass when exposed extreme temperatures. Before you begin cleaning your wood burner, it is important to ensure that it is not lit and completely cool. Make sure to protect the area around it with newspaper. This will stop the ash from spilling 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 become properly well-seasoned. The wood that is seasoned will not only burn more efficiently, but also produce less creosote. This is the material which accumulates on your fireplace, decreasing its efficiency and posing an opportunity for fire hazards. If you're using unseasoned wood, or just starting a new fire in your outdoor wood burner the best thing to do is open the back door to the lower part and scoop the ashes into a non-combustible container every week. A sediment flush should be performed on your boiler every four years. This is a straightforward flush that takes five seconds from the bottom drain valve on your boiler. This will eliminate any sediment that has built up in the system and will ensure that your boiler runs well. After you have cleaned the exterior of your outdoor fireplace, it is time to clean it. Before you begin, make sure to cover the stove's area with newspaper. Wearing protective eyewear and gloves is an excellent idea. Also, you should have a shovel, a metal ash container and scraping tools. To protect made a post should lay down a cloth to protect it while you scrape away coal and ash deposits. Simple to Operate Outdoor wood boilers (also called outdoor furnaces and outdoor wood hydronic heating systems, or outdoor wood heaters) are often misunderstood, despite their acclaim. They were one of the "it" trends of the 1990s, alongside mullet hairstyles. In contrast to their EPA-approved counterparts, popular wood stoves, which are designed to burn at low, constant temperatures, these units use a higher fire rate and generate more smoke when operating. This is the reason why local governments have a policy of regulating or banning their use. OWBs are great to heat homes with insulation levels that are high. Smoke that is thick and smoldering can also be a nuisance for neighbors, which has led many OWBs to be shut down or sued. For OWBs, dry wood with lower moisture content is needed to work effectively. Utilizing unseasoned or green wood reduces efficiency, leads to creosote to build up and may reduce the lifespan of the burner. A moisture gauge will allow you determine the time it takes for wood to dry. Dual-stage wood gasification (OWGB) boilers are, on the other hand they employ a three-step procedure which makes use of the energy in the wood. This results in less smoke. These types of furnaces are much more efficient than conventional OWBs and can be used with a larger variety of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry, seasoned firewood. Most wood can be seasoned within a year, but oak and other species with a hardy structure can take two years or more to fully mature. This is due to a lower amount of water and a higher density. 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 understand how to burn wood efficiently, thereby reducing air pollution. Low Maintenance Modern outdoor wood furnaces are constructed with the environment in mind. Unlike indoor wood burners that generate significant smoke Modern outdoor furnaces burn efficiently and without the production of excessive carbon monoxide or heat. They also require less wood to generate the same amount of heat as traditional stoves. Outdoor wood burners also require less maintenance than indoor wood burners and are more accommodating in regards to the moisture content of the wood. However, outdoor wood burners can only be used with properly prepared or "cured" wood. This can take a year or more for some kinds of wood. Use a moisture gauge prior to loading to determine the amount of water contained in the wood. During operation it is important to inspect the system periodically for creosote accumulation. Creosote is an byproduct of combustion that can build up in the flue and chimney in the event that it is not cleaned regularly. It can be removed using a special creosote removal product that is poured into the flame. Regular cleaning of the chimney and flue will remove dangerous creosote and improve efficiency. To attain 99% efficiency in combustion, Crown Royal Stoves designed a brand new air flow technique known as Negative Pressure Gasification. Our EPA certified Pristine Series outdoor wood furnaces utilize this technology to pull air from the bottom, pushing all gasses through an insulated, water-surrounded secondary combustion chamber with easy-clean turbines for a smokeless and pollution-free burn.
