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 reduce dependence on fossil fuels that are not renewable and help to create a more resilient energy strategy.

For efficient burning for efficient burning, it is crucial to use wood that has been well-seasoned. Green or unseasoned wood may contain more moisture 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. The typical design of OWBs promotes the slowing of the fire, making it cooler which results in less efficient combustion and a higher amount of smoke and creosote. Unburned fuels can lead to health problems as well as fire hazards and cause harm to the environment around it.

Furthermore the visible smoke plume that OWBs emit can make neighbors angry and result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) 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 range of outdoor wood furnaces that are EPA Certified. The Pristine Gasification Series utilizes technology to maximize combustion efficiency and create smokeless, clean burning. This is accomplished by using an air system that is negative pressure that pulls fresh hot, dry clean air in from the bottom of the boiler, and pushes it out through the chimney at a more rapid rate than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is accomplished through a unique design which uses 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 has an 99% efficiency in combustion for a cleaner and smoke-free fire. It uses less wood and produces significantly less emissions than traditional OWBs. To maximize your OWB's performance it is essential to burn only clean, seasoned, dry wood. It is recommended to prepare your wood for Indoor Wood Burning Stove six months or one year prior to burning it. This will ensure the most efficient and clean burn.

In addition to increasing the performance of your wood burner and enhancing the efficiency of your wood burner by performing an "dry burn" every week. This method lowers the amount of creosote in your home, increases boiler efficiency and prolongs the life of your boiler. By adding a stick for removing creosote to your stove each time you fill it up, you can drastically reduce the amount of creosote you need to use. The product is available through Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

A wood-burning stove can be extremely dirty due to burned soot particles. These are very hard to remove so if you notice any areas of build up on the glass of your stove, you must clean them as soon as you notice them. Any soot that is not eliminated will become hard, making it even more difficult. Using the correct cleaners for the job is essential, but also be sure you're not damaging the surface of the glass with anything that might scratch it. This could cause a weak point that will shatter glass when exposed to high temperatures.

Be sure to allow your wood burner to cool completely before cleaning it. Also, ensure that the area around it is covered with newspaper. This will prevent the ash from leaking and staining surfaces.

It could take up to one year for the seasoning process of your stove to be complete, depending on the quality of the large wood burning stove you use. The wood that is treated with a seasoned finish will not only burn more efficiently, but also produce less creosote. This is the kind of material that is able to build up on your fireplace, decreasing its efficiency and posing a potential fire hazard. If you're using unseasoned wood or are just beginning a fire in your outdoor fireplace, it's recommended to open the lower backdoor, and scoop out all the ashes into a nonflammable container each week.

A sediment flush should be performed on your boiler every four years. This is a simple flush of five seconds from the bottom drain valve on your boiler. This will eliminate any accumulation of sediment inside the system and keep your boiler in top operating condition.

After you've completed the sediment flush, it's time to clean the exterior of your outdoor wood burner. Before starting, it's crucial to cover the floor area around the stove with newspaper. It is also beneficial to wear protective eyewear and gloves. Also, you should have a metal ash canister as well as a scraping tool and a shovel. You can use a cloth for a shield to protect the refractory 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 among 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 constant, low temperatures, these boilers have a higher fire rate and generate more smoke when operating. This is why a few local governments regulate or even ban their use.

OWBs work best for homes that have high levels of insulation. The smoldering, dense visible smoke is also a source of complaints from neighbors and has resulted in many OWBs being shut down or being sued in the past. To ensure that OWBs to operate properly they should be operated with dry wood with a low moisture content. Utilizing unseasoned or green wood decreases efficiency, causes creosote accumulation and can 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 that makes use of more energy available in the wood. This means less smoke. These kinds of furnaces are much more efficient than traditional OWBs and can be used with a larger variety of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry well-seasoned and well-seasoned firewood. Most wood will season within a year, but oak and other species that are hardy can take two years or more to fully mature. This is due to less amount of water and a higher density. This allows them to retain heat longer, increasing efficiency and reduce pollution. The EPA "Burn Wise' website and Cornell Cooperative Extension are great sources for homeowners to understand how to efficiently burn wood to reduce air pollution.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood stoves are engineered to be environmentally friendly. Unlike indoor wood burners that produce significant smoke modern outdoor furnaces burn efficiently and without the creation of excessive carbon monoxide or heat. They also require less wood to generate the same amount of heat as traditional woodburning stoves.

Outdoor wood burners require less maintenance and are more forgiving of wood moisture content than indoor wood burning stove wood burning stoves. However outdoor wood burners can only be used with properly prepared or "cured" wood. This could take a whole year or more for some kinds of wood. It is essential to make use of a moisture meter to measure the amount of water of your wood before loading.

In the course of operation, it is important to periodically inspect the system for the build-up of creosote. Creosote is a byproduct from combustion and can build up in the flue and chimney when it is not cleaned on a regular basis. 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 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 make use of this technology to draw air from the bottom, directing all of the gasses through an insulated, water-surrounded secondary combustion chamber that is easy to clean turbines for a smokeless and pollution free burn.
