How They Work
Wood stoves are an excellent option to heat your home. They can be utilized as a primary or supplementary heating source, and they add an element of style that can make any room feel warmer and more inviting. Wood burning stoves function by creating an environment that is controlled so that the fire can burn wood more efficiently to generate heat.
This is accomplished by directing air towards the fire. This allows you to determine how quickly and efficiently the fire burns. This is a key element in the overall effectiveness of a wood stove since burning for too long is unable to provide energy and heat to the surrounding air. Modern wood stoves help to reduce this by directing air into the firebox in various directions to keep the fire burning.
Many modern wood stoves also use a catalytic combustor to assist in achieving maximum efficiency. This is a piece of metal, typically circular in shape, that is placed close to the top of the stove where the flue pipe connects. It resembles a metal honeycomb and it has pores in which the combustion gases from the wood are deposited. The gasses are then burnt again at lower temperatures to release more heat.
Other features that are found in many modern wood stoves include air bypass chambers, which are large flaps that are located in the interior of the firebox that can be opened to redirect flue gases around the catalyst during startup. This allows the fire to be ignited more quickly and can limit some of the initial buildup of soot on the catalyst's surface. This is a feature that is common in both new and old stoves and it helps to improve the efficiency of heating in wood stoves.
Convection Chambers
Wood stoves are a great addition to any outdoor living space, no matter if you reside in an old-fashioned log cabin or a tiny home that has been prefabricated. These heating devices are not just a great way to bring warmth and ambiance into your home, but also a renewable alternative to fossil-fuels. Here's how they work.
Modern wood stoves are extremely energy efficient due to the advancements in technology. They have a second skin that creates air pockets directly around the main compartment or "firebox." Surrounding cool air is drawn into these pockets and released from the top of your stove once heated, warming the surrounding space more quickly and efficiently.
A lot of modern wood stoves make use of sheet iron. This material is malleable and heats and cools faster than cast iron. This allows for an extremely durable and sleek stove that is ideal for modern homes. Sheet iron is also more environment friendly than casting iron, since it produces less harmful emissions.
If you're looking to buy a new wood stove, make sure it is certified by the EPA and catalytic. This kind of stove that burns wood produces less pollution and burns more evenly than stoves that are not catalytic. You'll also go through less wood as the fire burns longer.
While wood stoves should not be used as your primary or sole source of heat, it can be an excellent backup to a modern central heating system in case of an emergency. To avoid getting too much heat built in your home you should consider having a blower fitted to your wood stove to help distribute the heat more evenly across your home.
Fireboxes
The firebox on a wood stove is where the magic happens. It's where you create the fire and burn your wood to create heat, and it's the area where your stove spends most of its time while you use it. These fireboxes can be made of cast iron or stainless steel. Modern stoves often have an additional skin that creates pockets of heated air directly around the fire. This lets the heated air warm the surrounding areas more quickly and efficiently than any other type of fireplace or wood-burning heating device.
Wood stoves are now a common feature in a wide range of homes. They are no longer just for rustic cabins in the mountains. A wood stove is an attractive decorative piece that is sure to make any room feel warm and warm. Wood stoves are not meant to be the sole or primary source of heat. If you're considering adding a wood-burning stove to your home be sure to take into consideration the size of your house and whether you already have an existing heating system.
