What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners

Outdoor wood burning stoves can be an efficient and Outside Wood Burners cost-effective method of heating homes and businesses. They also reduce the need for fossil fuels that are not renewable and help to create a more resilient energy strategy.

For efficient burning, it is important to use well-seasoned wood. Green or unseasoned wood may have a higher moisture content which can cause creosote to accumulate and slow down performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners (OWBs) have been around for years and are an extremely green and efficient way to heat your home. However, the typical design of OWBs that encourages an unsteady, cooler fire, results in less combustion and a higher amount of smoke, creosote and particulates. These unburned fuels could cause health issues and fire hazards, as well as affect the environment around them.

Furthermore the visible smoke puffs that OWBs produce can make neighbors complain. This may result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) taking enforcement action. This type of public relations issue could cause serious damage to the value of your property and may 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 makes use of technology to maximize combustion efficiency and second Hand Wood burner create an unburned, clean and smoke-free. This is done with a negative-pressure air system which pulls fresh, dry heated, filtered air from the bottom and then pushes it up the chimney at a much faster rate than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is accomplished by an innovative design that makes use of a multi-pass, water-filled heat exchanger made of 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

When properly used properly, the Pristine Series OWB can achieve an 99% efficiency in combustion for a cleaner and smoke-free fire. It consumes less wood and produces significantly less emissions than traditional OWBs. To further maximize the performance of your OWB it is essential to only burn dry, clean, seasoned wood. Seasoning your wood for 6 months or a year prior to burning is recommended and helps ensure a better and more efficient burn.

In addition to maximizing the efficiency of your wood burner and enhancing its efficiency by executing a "dry burn" every week. This method lowers the amount of creosote in your home, increases boiler efficiency and prolongs the life of your boiler. In addition by putting in a creosote removal stick each time you fill your stove, you will be able to drastically cut the amount should also have a shovel, a metal ash container and an instrument for scraping. To protect the refractory you should lay a cloth on it to protect it from damage as you scrape away ash and coal deposits.

Easy to operate

Despite their popularity (they were among the 1990s' "it" trends, along with mullet haircuts) outdoor wood boilers, also referred to as outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heaters, are still often misunderstood. In contrast to their EPA-approved counterparts, popular wood stoves which are designed to burn at constant, low temperatures, these heaters use a higher fire rate and generate more smoke when operating. This is why some local governments regulate or even ban their use.

OWBs are best suited to homes with a high level of insulation. Smoke that is thick and smoldering may be a nuisance for neighbors, which has led many OWBs to be shut down or sued. In order for OWBs to function properly, they must be operated using dry wood with low moisture content. Wood that is not seasoned or green can reduce efficiency, cause creosote build-up, and shorten the lifespan of the burner. A moisture meter can help you determine the time it takes for wood to dry.

Dual-stage wood gasification (OWGB) boilers, on the other second hand wood burner, use a three-step process that utilizes more of the energy contained in the wood. This results in less smoke. These furnaces are more efficient than conventional OWBs and can be used for a wide range of fuels. Wood gasification boilers require dry and seasoned firewood. The majority of large wood burner will season in one year. Oak and other tough trees could take up to two years to mature. They are less watery and have a denser mass. This allows them to hold heat for longer, increasing efficiency and reducing 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. Modern outdoor wood furnaces do not produce excessive CO2 or heat. They also burn more efficiently than indoor wood stoves. They also require less wood to provide the same amount of heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor wood burners require less maintenance and are more tolerant of the moisture content of wood than wood burning stoves that are indoor. However, outdoor wood burners can only be used with properly seasoned or "cured" wood. This can take a year or more for certain kinds of Outside Wood Burners. Use a moisture meter before loading to check the amount of water in your wood burners for sale.

During operation, it is necessary to regularly check the system for the build-up of creosote. Creosote, which is a byproduct of combustion, can build up in the chimney and flue if they are not cleaned regularly. It can be removed by pouring a creosote removal product into the fire. Regular cleaning of the flue and chimney will eliminate dangerous creosote accumulations, and increase efficiency.

To achieve 99% combustion efficiency, Crown Royal Stoves designed a brand new air flow technique called Negative Pressure Gasification. This technology is employed in our EPA certified Pristine Series Outdoor Wood Furnaces to draw air from the bottom and push all the gases through an enclosed secondary combustion chamber that is that is surrounded by water and easy-to-clean turbines. The result is a smokeless & pollutant free combustion.
