What You Need to Know About Outdoor Wood Burners
Outdoor wood burning stoves can be an efficient and cost-effective method of heating homes and businesses. They also reduce the dependence on fossil fuels that are non-renewable and contribute to a resilient energy strategy.
Well-seasoned wood is essential for efficient burning. Green or unseasoned wood may have a higher moisture content, which can create creosote and reduce performance.
Efficient
Outdoor wood burners have been around for many years. They are a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way of heating your home. The typical design of OWBs favors a slower, cooler fire which results in poorer combustion and a higher amount of smoke and creosote. Unburned fuels can cause health problems, fire hazards and degrade the environment.
Furthermore the visible smoke plume that OWBs emit can cause neighbors to complain and lead to DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) enforcement actions. This kind of public relations issue can be a significant 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 called the Pristine Gasification Series that utilizes technology to boost the efficiency of combustion for a clean, smoke-free burning. This is achieved through a negative pressure air system which pulls fresh dry heated, filtered, and heated air from the bottom and pushes it through the chimney faster than traditional outdoor wood boilers. This is accomplished through an innovative design that utilizes a multi-pass water-filled heat exchanger constructed of 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.
If properly used, when used correctly, the Pristine Gasification Series OWB can achieve the highest efficiency of combustion, which is 99% for a cleaner, smoke-free fire that uses less wood and generates significantly less emissions than traditional OWBs. To maximize your OWB's performance, it is important to only burn dry, clean, seasoned wood. Seasoning your wood for six months or more prior to burning is recommended. It will ensure a more efficient and more efficient burn.
You can increase the efficiency of your wood-burning stove by performing each week a "dry burn". This method reduces creosote which increases the efficiency of boilers and extends the lifespan of your boiler. Lastly by adding a creosote removal stick each time you load your stove, you will be able to drastically cut the amount of creosote used. The product is available through Wisconsin Wood Furnace.
Clean
The soot particles left behind after burning wood can make a stove look very dirty. They are difficult to remove so make sure you clean any buildup that may be on your stove's glass immediately. In the event that the soot is not removed, it will harden and be even more difficult to remove. It is essential to choose the right cleaner however, you must avoid damaging the glass surface by using anything that can scratch it. This could lead to an area of weakness that could break glass when exposed to extreme temperatures.
Before you begin cleaning your wood burner you must ensure that it is unlit and completely cool. Also, be sure that the area around it is covered with newspaper. This will prevent any spillage of ash that could stain and mark surfaces.
It could take up to one year for the seasoning process of your stove to be completed, based on the quality of wood you use. Seasoned wood burning stove for shed will not only burn more efficiently, but will create less creosote. This is the kind of material that builds up on your chimney, decreasing its efficiency and posing a fire hazard. If you're using unseasoned wood or are just beginning a fire in your outdoor fireplace, it's best to open the lower backdoor and scoop the the ashes into a non-combustible container each week.
It is also recommended to perform a sediment flush on your boiler at least once every four years. This is a quick five-second flush from the bottom drain valve of your boiler. This will remove any sediments that have built up in the system, and ensure that your boiler is operating efficiently.
Once you've completed the sediment flush, it's now time to clean the exterior of your outdoor wood burner. Before starting, it's important to cover the floor area surrounding the stove with newspaper. Wearing protective eyewear and gloves is also a good idea. You should also have a metal ash container along with a scraping tool as well as shovel. To safeguard the refractory, you must lay down a cloth to protect it while you scrape away ash and coal deposits.
Easy to Operate
Despite their popularity (they were among the 1990s' "it" trends, together with mullet hairstyles) outdoor wood boilers, also known as outdoor furnaces or outdoor wood hydronic heaters are frequently misunderstood. These units are different from the popular EPA wood stoves, which are designed to burn low temperatures and continuously. They are able to produce an increased rate of burning and produce more smoke. Some local governments restrict or ban their use.
OWBs work best for homes with a high level of insulation. Smoke that is thick and smoldering could be a nuisance for neighbors, resulting in many OWBs to be shut down or even sued. For OWBs, dry wood with less moisture content is needed to function effectively. Using green or unseasoned wood reduces efficiency, leads to creosote to build up and may reduce the lifespan of the burner. Drying wood takes time and an instrument to measure moisture is essential for every homeowner.
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 results in less smoke. These kinds of furnaces are far 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, however oak and other species that are hardy may take two years or more to fully season. This is due to lower water content and denser mass. This allows them to hold heat for longer, increasing efficiency and reducing pollution. The EPA "Burn Wise' website and Cornell Cooperative Extension are great sources for homeowners to learn how to efficiently burn wood to reduce pollution to the air.
Low Maintenance
Modern outdoor wood furnaces are constructed with the environment in mind. Contrary to indoor wood stoves that emit significant smoke Modern outdoor furnaces burn cleanly and without the creation of excessive heat or carbon monoxide. They also use less wood to produce the same amount of heat as traditional stoves.
Outdoor wood burners require less maintenance than indoor wood burners, and are more tolerant when it comes to the moisture content of the wood. However, outdoor wood burners can only be used with properly treated or "cured" wood. Some types of wood can take up to a full year. It is important to utilize a moisture gauge to check the water content of your wood prior to loading.
In the course of operation, it is necessary to check the system regularly for the accumulation of creosote. Creosote is a by-product of combustion, can accumulate in the chimney and flue when they are not cleaned regularly. It can be removed using the use of a special creosote remover that is poured into the flame. Regular cleaning of the chimney and flue will help eliminate dangerous creosote accumulations, and increase efficiency.
To achieve 99% combustion efficiency, Crown Royal Stoves designed an innovative air flow technology called Negative Pressure Gasification. Our EPA certified Pristine Series outdoor wood furnaces make use of this technology to draw air from the bottom, pushing all gasses through an insulated water-surrounded secondary combustion chamber with easy-clean Turbulators to ensure a smoke-free and pollution free burn.
