What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burners are a cost-effective solution for heating homes and businesses. They also reduce the dependence on fossil fuels that are non-renewable and aid in a sustainable energy strategy.

A well-seasoned wood is vital for efficient burning. Wood that is not seasoned or green has higher moisture content and can create creosote buildup which reduces performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners (OWBs) have been around for a long time and are an extremely energy efficient and environmentally friendly method of heating your home. The design of OWBs favors an older, cooler fire which leads to less efficient combustion, and more smoke and creosote. These unburned fuels could cause health issues, fire hazards, and affect the environment around them.

Furthermore, the visible smoke plume that OWBs create can make neighbors complain. This could result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) taking enforcement action. This kind of issue could negatively impact the value of your property, and may lead to your OWB being closed.

Crown Royal Stoves has a line of outdoor wood furnaces that are EPA Certified. The Pristine Gasification Series uses technology to increase the efficiency of combustion and produce a smokeless, clean burn. This is achieved by using a negative-pressure air system which pulls fresh dry heated, filtered air from the bottom and then pushes it through the chimney at a much faster rate than traditional outdoor contemporary wood burners boilers. This is accomplished through an exclusive design that uses an incredibly efficient multi-pass water-filled heat exchanger constructed of 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

Properly utilized, When properly used, the Pristine Series OWB can achieve an efficiency of 99% for a smoke-free and cleaner fire. It requires less wood and produces significantly fewer emission than traditional OWBs. It is essential to use dry, clean, and seasoned wood to increase the performance of your OWB. Seasoning your wood for 6 months or more prior to burning is recommended. This helps ensure a smoother energy efficient and efficient burn.

In addition to improving the performance of your wood stove, you can also improve 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 extends the lifespan of your boiler. Additionally, by adding a creosote removal stick each time you fill your stove, you will be able to drastically cut the amount of creosote you use. This product is available at Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

A wood burning stove can be very dirty due to burnt soot particles. These are very hard to shift If you notice any areas of build up on the glass of your stove, wash them as soon as you notice them. If not, the soot will begin to harden and be even more difficult to remove. It is essential to choose the right cleaner however, you should avoid damaging the glass surface by using anything that can scratch it. This could result in a weak spot that will break the glass if it's exposed to extreme temperatures.

Before you begin cleaning your wood burner, you must ensure that it's not lit and completely cool. Also, make sure that the area around it is covered with newspaper. This will prevent any spillage of ash which can stain and mark surfaces.

Based on the quality of the wood that you select, it can take up to one year for your stove to become properly and seasoned. The wood that has been seasoned will not only burn more efficiently, but will also produce less creosote. This is the substance that accumulates on your fireplace, reducing its efficiency and posing a potential fire hazard. If you're using unseasoned wood or just making a fresh fire in your outdoor wood burner the best thing you can do is open the lower back door and scoop ashes out into a non-combustible container each week.

A sediment flush should be carried out on your boiler every four years. This is a simple flush lasting five seconds from the drain valve on your boiler. This will eliminate any sediment that has built up within the system and help keep your boiler in top functioning condition.

After you have cleaned the exterior of your outdoor fireplace, it is time to clean it. Before you begin, it's crucial to cover the area around the stove with newspaper. It is also advisable to wear gloves and protective eyewear. Also, you should have an shovel, a metal container for ash and scraping tools. You can use a cloth for a shield to protect the refractory as you scrape away coal and ash deposits.

Simple 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're not like the popular EPA wood stoves, which are designed to burn low temperatures continuously. They are able to produce a higher rate of combustion and generate more smoke. This is the reason why local governments have a policy of regulating or banning their use.

OWBs are great to heat homes with a high insulation level. The visible, smoldering smoke can also be a source of complaints from neighbors, and has led to many OWBs being shut-down or being sued in the past. For OWBs dry wood that has lower moisture content is required to function effectively. Utilizing unseasoned or green wood can reduce efficiency, cause creosote accumulation and can shorten the life of the burner. Drying second hand wood burner takes time, and a moisture meter is essential for every homeowner.

In contrast dual-stage wood gasification boilers (OWGB) employ three steps that uses more of the available energy in the wood, resulting in a lesser amount of smoke. These furnaces are more efficient than conventional OWBs, and are suitable for many different fuels. Wood gasification boilers need dry well-seasoned wood. Most wood can be seasoned within a year, but oak and other hardy species can take two years or more to fully mature. This is because they have less volume of water and a greater density. This allows them to hold heat for longer, thereby increasing efficiency and decreasing pollution. The EPA "Burn Wise" website and Cornell Cooperative Extension are great sources for homeowners to understand how to burn wood efficiently to reduce air pollution.

Low Maintenance

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

Outdoor wood burners also require significantly less maintenance than Indoor Wood burner wood burners, and are more tolerant in regards to the moisture content of the wood. Outdoor wood burners are only suitable for wood that has been properly "cured" or dried or. It can take a year or more for certain 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 essential to regularly check the system for the accumulation of creosote. Creosote is a byproduct of combustion and can accumulate in the flue and chimney if it is not cleaned regularly. It can be removed with a special creosote removal product that is poured into the flame. Regular cleaning of the chimney and flue can remove harmful creosote and increase efficiency.

Crown Royal Stoves developed a new airflow technology known as Negative Pressure Gasification to ensure 99% efficiency in combustion. This technology is employed in our EPA certified Pristine Series Outdoor Wood Furnaces to pull air up from the bottom and force all gases through an enclosed secondary combustion chamber that is that is surrounded by water and easy-to-clean turbines. The result is a smokeless and pollution-free burning.
