The Benefits of a Woodburner Stove Wood stoves create fire and heat by using continuous airflow. The dampers are usually located in the stove's door. They permit fresh air to flow into. Exhaust gases are then drawn up through the chimney, and are safely removed from your home. Modern wood stoves that do not have catalytic technology rely on secondary combustion to increase their effectiveness. However, they'll eventually create creosote if they are not used correctly. Energy Efficiency Modern woodburner stoves are designed to maximize heating efficiency, with the combustion process being optimized to burn wood efficiently possible. This means that more of the fuel is converted into heat and less is wasted in the form of smoke or unburnt gases. The most important aspect to take into consideration when selecting the best woodburner stove is heating output, which is measured in BTU per hour. This figure gives an idea of the amount of heat the stove will produce. It's generally an accurate indicator of its ability to efficiently heat your home. When comparing wood stoves it's important to consider the efficiency of combustion as well as heating transfer efficiency. The combustion efficiency is an indication of the amount of fuel converted into heat. The efficiency of heating transfer is a measure of how well your stove can convert this heat into warmth for the air inside your home. Stoves that have a catalytic combustion system are able to achieve high levels of combustion efficiency due to the fact that the combustor re-burns a portion of the gases released during the initial combustion. This helps to clean the exhaust gases and reduces the amount of flammable chimney deposits known as creosote. Modern non-catalytic stoves can still be very efficient, however they tend to burn a little more quickly and perform less efficiently at lower temperatures. It is important to remember that the efficiency of energy a stove can achieve depends on the quality and condition of the fuel it is using. Dry and seasoned firewood is more suitable than green wood, which has more moisture. It is also a good idea to select a stove that is designed for logs, because burning other types of combustible can cause issues with the combustion process and cause excessive emissions, or even chimney fires. Always ensure that your stove is properly insulated and the doors and windows are shut tightly when not in use. It is also recommended that you have your flue vent cleaned by an expert regularly. You should also check and clean the stove interior and it's recommended you vacuum the chimney out every few weeks. Clean Burning When properly used, a wood burner is the most sustainable fuel option. It is a renewable fuel and mostly carbon-neutral (the amount of carbon dioxide released during combustion is the same as the amount that the tree absorbs over its life). You'll also be able to avoid relying on large energy companies that are subject to price increases or, even worse even have monopolies in certain areas. Fireplaces & Stove makes you liable to their prices. You can also keep track of the amount of wood in your stove, and purchase it only when you really need it. Many new log burners, such as the Stovax range, feature an advanced combustion system that has been optimised to ensure high levels of efficiency in heat and a clear burn. The triple air system delivers air to the fire at two different stages. This allows for a faster ignition of the top layer as well as a more controlled flaming picture. It also increases the efficiency of the thermal system and reduces emissions. To get the most burning process in a woodburner, only use dried and kiln-fired logs that have been stacked for a time before being used. They have a lower moisture content so require less energy to move. Additionally, if you stack your logs correctly and make sure they are properly seasoned prior burning, you can attain an impressive level of efficiency that can reach up to 80%. Wood smoke contains a variety of harmful pollutants, such as fine particle pollution as well as volatile organic compounds. It also contains nitrogen oxides, benzene, and other compounds that can cause breathing problems. These are known to be associated with respiratory and heart illnesses. Modern log burners are more efficient than earlier models and, when combined with an air quality monitor that measures gas concentrations, they can cut them to a minimum. You should inquire with your local authority if you are in a Smoke Control Area prior to purchasing any kind of stove. You may need an approved stove from Defra to be able to legally use the stove. Defra approved stoves are certified to function under the Clean Air Act which makes it illegal to emit smoke out of chimneys in certain areas. Low Carbon Wood stoves are a green alternative to heating your home with fossil fuels. They help to reduce carbon emissions, which are a leading cause of global climate change. Modern, energy-efficient wood stoves emit considerably less greenhouse gases and particulates when compared to older wood burning stoves. They can also be utilized to heat the house and cook. The most important thing to get the most environmentally friendly use from your wood burning stove is to ensure that the logs are dry prior to burning them. It takes an extended time to dry wood, but it is worth the effort. If you have the space to construct a log store, and manage to keep your logs dry you can save money on heating bills as well as benefiting from Government support through the Renewable Heat Incentive. A woodburner stove can help you save money on your household's energy bills. However, it is crucial to remember that it is a secondary source of heat, and is not the sole method. You should use it only when you really require it, and make sure that your stove is high-efficiency with low emissions. You can be sure that a stove that is EPA-certified will comply with the low emission standards necessary to safeguard your health as well as the environment. Check the metal tag on your wood burning stove or read the owner's guide or consult EPA's certified wood stove list to see if it is EPA-certified. A wood-burning stove that's EPA certified can also aid in conserving the habitats of forests, as well as biodiversity. Forests play an essential role in regulating the earth's climate, and when they are managed in a sustainable manner, they can absorb the carbon dioxide released when wood is burned. Eco-friendly stoves, which only burn locally-sourced wood that is sustainably sourced, will offer a reason to encourage sustainable forest management. This approach is in line with the principles of the circular economy and ensures that forests are valued for their environmental benefits, as well as their timber supply. Safety Wood stoves provide a beautiful, cosy feeling to any room and can be a focal place for families and friends gathering together. They can also emit dangerous gases, especially when they are not utilized correctly or the logs are not of good quality. In addition, they can create smoke that can impact the quality of indoor air. To lessen the impact on your lungs and ensure that you have a safe, clean burning stove it is important that you follow these easy guidelines to use. These include using only properly dried, seasoned and dried hardwood and regularly checking the stove to ensure that all logs are combustible. Additionally, it is always recommended to make use of hearth pads that are designed to endure the constant heat of the stove, as well as safeguarding your wooden flooring from damage caused by fire. Another tip is to avoid using lighter fluid. It is a hazardous substance that should only be used to ignite a fire in an open fire and not in a wood burner. It can cause wood to burn at a higher rate, which can result in volatile compounds that can be harmful if inhaled. Keep pets and children out from the wood stove when being used. It is best to make use of a hearth pad that can be put under the stove to stop sparks from falling on the floor and causing damage. Installing smoke and carbon dioxide detectors is also suggested. You should also be sure to have your chimney inspected at least once a year to make sure it's functioning correctly. A certified professional can inspect the chimney to ensure there are no leaks and that the flue is free of creosote. A modern wood-burning stove with integrated automation and monitoring, like MF Fire's Catalyst, an intelligent wood stove, is an excellent choice for those who are seeking a high-performance efficient, eco-friendly, and sustainable method of heating their home. This kind of stove can eliminate many of the problems that come with older traditional stoves by automatically regulating the fire to ensure that it is burning at a suitable level and avoiding overfiring, which can cause a fire that churns out more smoke, irritates your lungs, and causes more damage to your chimney.
