Freestanding Wood Burner Tips

Freestanding wood heaters are an excellent way to enjoy a real fire while also reducing electricity costs. However, they can be a source of pollutants and therefore it is essential to follow the right wood burning techniques.

Choose between traditional wood stoves and pellet-fuel appliances. The installation flexibility, fuel type, and the efficiency of heating for each model differ.

Efficient Heating

If you use your wood-burning stove correctly, it can be the most cost-effective heating source for your home. The heat is distributed throughout the house and is not lost through the chimney. The amount of heat generated by the stove is contingent on its combustion efficiency and the insulation in your home.

Modern wood burners feature a triple air system that provides thermal efficiency, a clean burn, and a flame pattern that can be controlled. This technology is available in freestanding wood stoves as well as fireplace inserts. They use a metal channel that heats the air that is pumped into the firebox above the flames. This increases the oxygen supply to the volatile gases in the smoke, which speeds the burning process. This results in more heat and less particulates in the exhaust gasses.

Wood stoves that use catalytic combustor technologies burn much more efficiently and stop the buildup of flammable creosote. If you want to be sure that your wood-burning stove is operating at maximum efficiency, you should look for an EPA-certified model. These stoves are made to meet stringent emissions standards and are a reliable, safe method of heating your home.

Large-sized stoves work best for heating large, open-plan homes and are a great option for homes with roof leaks in cold climate zones.

Installing a wood or pellet stove by a certified professional will ensure proper ventilation and combustion. This reduces the amount of the amount of pollutants in the air and prevents carbon monoxide poisoning. A professional will also examine the insulation of your home to ensure that the flue size is appropriate to maximize the efficiency of heat.

Proper maintenance of a free-standing wood stove includes keeping the glass clean and regularly cleaning the grate to remove soot and ash. This is particularly important since even just a tenth of soot could reduce heat transfer by up to 50%.

Based on your heating requirements and budget, you can select from a non-catalytic stainless stove to cut down on maintenance costs or an iron catalytic stove to increase the efficiency of combustion and reduce emissions.
