Unseasoned or green wood can contain more moisture which can cause creosote to build up and slow down performance.

Efficient

Outdoor wood burners (OWBs) have been around for years and are an extremely green and efficient method to heat your home. The design of OWBs encourages a slower, cooler fire which results in poorer combustion and a higher amount of smoke and creosote. These unburned fuels could cause health problems as well as fire hazards and affect the environment around them.

Furthermore, the visible smoke puffs that OWBs generate can make neighbors complain. This may result in DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) taking enforcement action. This type of issue can affect your property value and even lead to your OWB being closed 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 provide a smokeless, clean burn. This is achieved through a negative pressure air system that pulls fresh, dry, hot clean air in from the bottom of the boiler and then pushes it out through the chimney at a greater 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 from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel.

Properly used when properly used, When properly used, the Pristine Series OWB has a 99% combustion rate for a cleaner and smoke-free fire. It uses less wood, and produces significantly fewer emission than traditional OWBs. It is important to use dry, clean, and seasoned wood in order to enhance the performance of your OWB. It is recommended to season your wood for a minimum of six months or one year prior to burning it. This will result in an efficient and clean burn.

In addition to improving the performance of your wood stove it is also possible to increase its efficiency by executing the "dry burn" every week. This method helps to eliminate creosote build up, keeps your boiler in good condition and extends its lifespan. Additionally by adding a creosote remover stick every time you fill your stove, you will be able to dramatically reduce the amount of creosote that you use. This product is available from Wisconsin Wood Furnace.

Clean

A wood burning stoves for sale-burning stove can be extremely dirty due to burned soot particles. These are very hard to remove, so if you see any areas of build up on the glass of your stove, you must clean them immediately. If the soot isn't removed, it will harden, making it even more difficult to remove. It is crucial to use the right cleaners, but you should also be careful not to scratch the glass with anything that could scratch it. This could result in an area of weakness that could shatter glass when exposed to high temperatures.

Before you begin cleaning your wood stove, it is important to ensure that it is unlit and completely cool. Make sure you surround it with newspaper. This will prevent any spillage of ash that could stain and mark surfaces.

Based on the quality of the wood that you choose to use, it could take up to a year for your stove to be properly seasoned. The wood that is seasoned will not only burn better, but will create less creosote. This is the substance that builds up on your fireplace, decreasing its efficiency and posing the potential for a fire hazard. If you are using unseasoned wood or just beginning a new fire in your outdoor wood burner, the best thing to do is to open up the back door to the lower part and scoop ashes out into a non-combustible container every week.

A sediment flush is recommended on your boiler every four years. This is a simple flush lasting five seconds from the bottom drain valve on your boiler. This will get rid of any sediment that has built up in the system, and keep your boiler working well.

After you've completed the sediment flush, it's time to clean the exterior of your outdoor wood burner. Before you begin, it's important to cover the area around the stove with newspaper. It is also helpful to wear gloves and protective eyewear. Also, you should have a metal ash canister, a scraping tool and a shovel. You can use a cloth as an insulator to shield the refractory from damage while you scrape away coal and ash deposits.

Easy to operate

Outdoor wood boilers (also called outdoor furnaces, outdoor wood hydronic heating systems or outdoor wood heaters) are often misunderstood, despite their popularity. They were one of the "it" trends of the 1990s, along with hairstyles for mullets. Unlike their cousin the EPA's 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 regulate or ban their use.

OWBs are ideal for heating homes with high insulation levels. The visible, smoldering smoke is also a cause of complaint with neighbors and has led to numerous OWBs being shut down or sued in the past. For OWBs dry wood that has lower moisture content is needed to work effectively. The use of unseasoned or green wood can reduce efficiency, cause creosote accumulation and can reduce the lifespan of the burner. A moisture meter can help you to determine how long it takes for wood to dry.

In contrast, dual-stage wood gasification boilers (OWGB) make use of three steps of process that makes use of more available energy in the wood and results in a lesser amount of smoke. These kinds of furnaces are more efficient than traditional OWBs and can be used with a greater variety of fuel. Wood gasification boilers require dry and well-seasoned firewood. Most wood can be seasoned within a year, however oak and other species with a hardy structure can take two years or more to fully mature. They are less water-based and have a larger mass. This allows them to retain heat for longer, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing pollution. The EPA "Burn Wise" website and Cornell Cooperative Extension are great resources for homeowners to learn how to efficiently burn wood to reduce air pollution.

Low Maintenance

Modern outdoor wood stoves are designed to be eco-friendly. Modern outdoor wood furnaces don't generate excessive CO2 or heat. They also burn cleaner than indoor wood stoves. They also require less corner wood burner to generate the same amount of heat as traditional stoves.

Outdoor outside wood burners burners also require significantly less maintenance than indoor 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 seasoned. This could take a whole year or more for certain kinds of wood. It is important to make use of a moisture meter to measure the amount of water of your outside wood burners before loading.

During operation, it is necessary to check the system regularly for the build-up of creosote. Creosote, a by-product of combustion, may build up in the chimney and flue when they are not cleaned regularly. It can be eliminated using a creosote removal solution that is poured into the fire. Regularly cleaning the flue and chimney will remove dangerous creosote accumulations, 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 surrounded by water with easy-to-clean turbulators. The result is a smokeless, pollutant-free burning.
