Reduce Wood Smoke of Stoves

I believe that, most indivuals using wood stoves must meet such a situation, see a lot of smoke coming from a chimney. This's air pollution and inefficiency.

Wood smoke results from incomplete burning of wood, so this leads to the low efficiency. When released outdoors, or accidently indoors, it's an air pollution. Breathing air containing wood smoke is not healthy. Wood smoke contains a mixture of gases and fine particles that can cause burning eyes, runny nose, and bronchitis. Fine particles can aggravate existing diseases such as asthma, emphysema, pneumonia and bronchitis, heart disease, espcecially in people of young and old ages.

In addition, long term exposure to wood smoke may lead to: Chronic obstructive lung disease. Chronic bronchitis. Increased risk of cancer, and genetic mutations (based on animal studies).

So, what could you do to reduce wood stoves smoke coming form the chimney? Here are some ways. Burning clean, dry, well-seasoned hardwoods such as oak or maple. And replace older stoves with newer, certified cleaner wood burning stoves.

Furthermore, learn the correct way to use your stove, such as properly installed, correctly used EPA certified wood stove releases significantly less pollution into the environment. As EPA certified wood stoves burn wood more completely; therefore, they emit 60% to 80% less pollution.

For small areas of rust on the stove, use a wire brush, steel wool or a scrubbing pad. For larger rust stains on the stove or for stubborn stains, use a commercial rust remover.

Don't forget to buy some heat-proof paint, rubber gloves and dust mask if you don't have any.

The History Of Wood Stoves

Wood Stove Instructions

A wood burning stove is one of the best ways to heat the home without using non-renewable fossil fuels. However, when choosing a right wood stove for your home, make sure it is an EPA-certified model. Because wood burning stoves approved by the EPA burn cleaner as well as more efficiently.

Moreover, when you begin using your wood burner, never burn any waste or used oil in your chimney as this may clog the chimney. Always make sure the wood you are using is fresh and make sure the wood has been properly seasoned before burning it in your wood burning stoves.

In addition, there are other tips for you during your operation.

1. Open the draft for the small stove from the bottom. If the chimney flue is still in place, open it all the way.

2. Crumble the newspaper into loose balls and place on a 1-inch bed of ashes. Then place a handful of kindling on top of the crumbled paper. Next, light the newspaper with a match or fireplace lighter.

3. Monitor the burning of the kindling, add more until there is a small bed of burning coals.

4. Add mid-sized pieces of wood on top of the burning kindling.

finally, a piece of advice for you, if you have a fire going, make sure it is burning well and not smoldering. If there is excessive smoke, put out the fire as it is dangerous for the health if it escapes inset stoves. Furthermore, please make sure the flue is open before starting fire. NEVER remove hot ashes or partially burned loges. Please leave the ashes in the fireplace even if you are sure they are cold. It's easier to build a fire with a bed of ashes.

Why does stove fire go out?

Are you familiar with the fireplace?

Why does stove fire go out?

Have you ever found that the fire in your wood stove go out?
There are numerous reasons why stove fire goes out. Every situation is various and different variables cause this to happen. There are mainly four very common reasons I list here. The most common reason is there is too much ash built up and the ashes weren’t shaken out enough. As this restricts the air flow that is necessary for the fire to burn. Another very common reason is there wasn’t enough air supplied to the fire of your woodburning stoves. These problems can be solved by clearing the ash and opening the air intake locations to allow more air flow.

Well, another cause of this occurrence is there wasn’t enough fuel to maintain a continuous burn time. Usually, the average burn time of the wood ranges from 8- 24 hours. Of course, a lot of variables factors can affect the burn time of cast iron stoves, such as exterior weather conditions, room temperature desired, draft of the chimney, as well as many other conditions. Results may vary due to the various conditions.

The last reason that could cause this problem is related to the chimney of small wood burning stove. There might not be enough draft in the chimney to pull the air through the fire to sustain a continuous burn, leaving unburned fuel in the fire box. The chimney could also have too much draft that it is burning the fuel rapidly, decreasing the burn time. It is usually some other variable that is causing this to happen.

How does the wood we burn impact performance of wood stove?

“What type of wood should I be burning and how will it affect the performance of my wood stove?” yesterday, my aunt asked me. Until now, I’ve worked in wood stove industry as the quality inspector for more than two years. If you have the same problem, fortunately, you got the answer today.

Your wood burner will perform quite well and last longer if you burn cordwood that is cut, split and dried for 1 year before use. Keep in mind, never burn driftwood, painted wood, wood with nails in it or pressed particleboard. As these woods contain chemicals that damage your stove, chimney, as well as harm the environment and be bad for your health.

Maybe someone don't know that the wood they choose will play a essential role in efficiency of wood burning stoves. They only think that the stove's quality and construction would affect stove's performance. In fact, there are several factors that impact your stove’s performance.

First, most crucial factors are the type of wood you burn, as well as whether or not the wood is properly dried, or seasoned. Each species of wood has its own characters, but all wood has roughly the same energy content by weight. The different species vary only in density. So what kind of wood should we burn to get high efficiency of our common small stove?

Generally speaking, we recommend using hard wood, such as oak or maple, but in many areas, these trees are not plentiful enough to burn. Ultimately, the most important thing is to use wood that is cut and split to the right size, and that the wood is properly dried. Don’t forget.
