How to Properly Operate a Log Burning Stove
Log burners are a renewable source of heat that is low in carbon and good for the environment. They are simple to use and offer great heat for rooms.
The highest efficiency of a stove is when it's stocked with well-seasoned wood. This is mature horse chestnut or hawthorn, that is chopped and stored for a period of time.
Burning logs
Log burning stoves are an inviting, warm and economical alternative to oil and gas. They are also good for the environment as they provide an energy-efficient heat source and also have the added benefit of enhancing your living space with an attractive natural fire. However, before buying a wood burner it is vital to know if you live in a smoke control zone as this can affect the type of fuel you can use in your stove.
It is recommended to contact your local environmental protection office for more information on the regulations if you reside in a smoking-control area. Also, you should ensure that your home is suitable for a stove with a log burner. It will need an enduring chimney and a roof structure. In addition you must have plenty of dry logs for the stove. It is important to use kiln dried firewood with a low moisture content, or well-seasoned wood, since this will have less of an impact on the environment than green wood. Green wood has high moisture content and, as such, a large amount of energy is used to evaporate the water before it generates any heat. A well-seasoned, kiln dried and well-seasoned wood will burn hotter and produce fewer smoke emissions.
The first step is building an ember bed by using small twigs or 913875.xyz pieces of tinder. After the tepee arrangement is established, larger logs can then be added. They should be stacked in a criss-cross fashion (like playing tic-tac toe) so there is enough space for airflow between the logs. Once the fire is established, you can close the primary air intake on the stove and then use the 'automatic combustion control' to feed the logs with a continuous flow of oxygen.
The logs must be dried and seasoned, and the size should be in line with the stove you are using. This will aid in the burning process. It is also a great idea to choose only Woodsure approved logs. These logs are kiln dried and come from sustainable forests.
The lighting of a fire
It is important to properly light the fire in a wood-burning stove, or log burner. This will not only increase the efficiency of the stove, but it also reduces the build-up of smoke and 913875.Xyz creosote within your chimney and in your home. First make sure that the damper is not closed - this is usually a lever or 913875.xyz valve near the top of the stove. Once the fire is established and the damper is closed, you can shut it to control the airflow and heat output.
To get started Begin by gathering small to medium sized cut logs and make sure they are dry (ideally with less than 20 percent moisture percent). Add a layer of tinder on the base of your fireplace or log burner, using a handful of pieces of newspaper or any other materials that are combustible, such as cardboard. Don't put the tinder in a tight space as this could hinder the flow of oxygen and cause the fire to burn out. Put a few firelighters that are crisscrossed on the tinder.
Then, add some finely seasoned kindling on the top of the newspaper tinder. Again, leave space for air circulation. You could also add a couple of Eco firelighters in this stage to help the pieces of kindling ignite and burn more quickly. Then put a few larger logs on top of the kindling. It is better to lay them flat on the grate, or firebed, instead of leaning against each other. This allows for airflow and draught to reach the logs below.
The traditional method of lighting a fireplace is less efficient and generates more particulate matter than the upside-down method. The logs on top of the pile are heated faster and provide more oxygen to the flames. This also stops the draught of the wood at bottom of the stack cooling down. This could delay the ignition process and cause smoke. This method also ensures that you have a full-throttle fire right from the start and you won't have to wait long before enjoying your warm stove.
Cleaning the firebox
The firebox inside your log burning stove has to be cleaned regularly. If left unattended the accumulation of ash can reduce airflow and cause the fireplace to release smoke rather than an intense flame. This is especially hazardous, which is why it is essential to clean your wood stove regularly. Make sure that the stove is cooling and take out any large pieces of ash before you begin cleaning. Also, you should wear gloves, because ash can be extremely hot. You can also put an old newspaper on the floor in front of your stove, to prevent ashes falling onto your carpet.
There are several ways to clean the glass on your wood burner. A lot of people apply a sheet of newspaper and rub away the soot, but you can also purchase cleaning sprays, or even oven cleaner. You can also purchase an item specifically designed to clean wood stoves at a majority of hardware shops.
Cleaning your stove in spring will prevent creosote buildup. It is crucial to clean your stove because creosote can be flammable and create serious fire hazards. You can use a flashlight for a visual inspection of the chimney and flue. If the creosote buildup is greater than 1/8" then you must clean the flue and chimney.
To clean the firebox, first make sure the stove is completely cool. Then, you should remove all large ash particles and eliminate them in a secure manner. Once the ash is removed, you can clean the inside of the stove using a wire brush. Wire brushes can be used to clean the grate, irons, to get rid of any soot. You can also use a damp cloth to clean the glass and the firebox.
After you've cleaned the firebox, close the flue and seal the door to your wood stove. You should ask someone to hold your ladder as you climb the ladder to open the flue. This could be a high place.
Ventilation
Ventilation is essential for a stove with a log burner to function properly and keep smoke from entering your home. Ventilation allows fresh air to flow into the space, replacing the old and stale air that would otherwise been drawn into the stove. A good ventilation system will stop your stove from overheating, which can cause damage and decrease its efficiency. All stoves are required to have ventilation.
Start with wood that has been placed in a stack for at least a months and dried. It will burn hotter and longer than fresh wood. Avoid adding man-made wood products such as ply wood, particle boards and painted timber as these could release toxic gases and leave residues in the flue, which can cause an explosion in the chimney. Also, avoid adding more than one log at a time as they will partially smother the flames and leave fuel unburned which could cause lots of smoke and creosote.
When lighting the fire, it is recommended that both air vents be open. Keep them open until the flames have been established. When the fire is lit and the flames are fully lit, slowly close the air vents until they're both closed about one third. If your fireplace is in a depressurised space it might be necessary to open a door or window to let in sufficient air. If you are using an electric stove that burns wood it is recommended to use a combination of both smokeless fuel and wood briquettes. This will keep the flames burning for longer and allow you the option to add larger logs once the fire is established.
If you are planning to install a wood burning stove or relocating it, make sure you contact your Local Authority to find out what requirements for ventilation it must be able to. To meet the requirements you may have to install an chimney or alter your existing flue. You should also check with your insurance provider to see whether they require you to get the work approved to keep your home insurance.
