Wood Burning Stoves Near Me

Wood stoves can help you reduce your energy bills. They also help to support active woodland 5829186.xyz management, which is beneficial to wildlife.

If they are not properly maintained and installed they could release carbon monoxide, which can pose health risks for the family. To avoid this, pick a wood stove that is EPA certified and uses the latest technology for safe operation.

Catalytic Stoves

A catalytic stove is outfitted with a special honeycomb-like catalyst that converts the smoke from wood into carbon dioxide and water. It is a great option for those who want to cut down on indoor pollution and www.5829186.xyz save money by burning less wood. They use less fuel, burn more hot, and produce less creosote. However, they can be more expensive to operate than non-catalytic models. They also require regular maintenance of the combustion chamber.

Wood Stoves certified by the EPA

The EPA requires that wood stoves be designed according to specific guidelines that reduce their emissions. In accordance with these guidelines, a catalytic stove must not emit more than 7.5 grams per hour. This compares to 4.1 grams per hour for a non-catalytic stove. It is important to note that lower emissions ratings do not mean more efficient heating.

Sizing and Selection

It is very important to ensure that your wood stove is designed for the space where it will be installed. A stove that is not properly sized will not function as it was intended and may even overheat. A properly-sized stove increases the amount of heat produced and lowers emissions. The brochure: Buying a certified wood stove that is EPA-certified (PDF 530K) offers a simple way to size and 5829186 select a new wooden stove.

Non-Catalytical and Catalytical stoves

The first type of wood stove made was the non-catalytic one. These stoves are also known as traditional wood-burning stoves or www.5829186.xyz open fire stoves. The primary advantage of the non-catalytic stove is that it doesn't require a secondary combustion to reduce emissions. However, a significant amount of energy that is wasted is lost as smoke. The smoke that is produced by wood stoves that are not catalytic contain a heavy residue called creosote which is a very toxic substance. The introduction of the catalytic wood stove has eliminated the risk of these issues. The catalytic wood stove employs a catalyst to burn the smoke containing gases and eliminates toxic creosote.

While the catalytic wood stove was developed to help reduce the emission of toxic gases, it is not as efficient as the secondary burn system used in the non-catalytic stove. The catalyst does not completely burn the byproducts of burning wood, and consequently produces harmful emissions. The honeycomb structure could break down with time. This can lead to an increase in performance and 5829186 the necessity for replacement.

Make sure to keep the Combustion Chamber Clean

A catalytic combustor that is functioning properly will have a grayish-white appearance. It must be free of ash, soot or 5829186 other tatty substances which could block the cells and decrease the surface area of catalytic reactions. The combustor should also not be subjected to impingement of flames. This could occur when a powerful, fast draft forces flames into a catalytic converter. This may also happen if the firebox door or ash pan door is left open.

It is essential to check the catalytic combustion chamber on a regular basis for physical damage or the need to replace. If it is damaged or requires replacement, it must be replaced as soon as possible to ensure best performance.
