subject: Rising Popularity Of Contemporary Wood Burning Stoves [print this page] Contemporary wood burning stoves are designed not only to provide heat efficiently but they are also appealing in appearance. Wood burning stoves function and provide heat by burning wood. These kinds of stoves have an added benefit of being environmental friendly. For heat production these stoves burn wood. Carbon dioxide is released from the stoves, when the wood burns. However, this release of carbon dioxide is not hazardous as the amount of carbon dioxide which is released from the burning of wood for heat production is equal to the heat which is absorbed by a tree during its growth. Such stoves cannot be incorporated with fuel beds as their wood does not require air for burning, hence the firebox in such stoves is larger and more refueling can be done after larger intervals. These contemporary wood stoves come along with attractive features such as the clean burn system which serves the purpose of reduction of carbon release. The burning system which is deployed in these stoves, functions efficiently by consuming less wood and producing more heat, while being eco friendly at the same time.
Using appropriate kind of wood in such stoves!
These stoves function efficiently and produce more heat with less fuel consumption only when appropriate kind of wood is used for burning. The most favorable kind of wood which is used in such stoves for efficient heating is seasoned and cleaved hardwood.
It is worth noticing that the wood which is used for burning should be slashed and hoarded with cover with a little air circulation for almost a period of 365 days. As per studies, the time taken by hardwood to be ready for being used for burning is approximately two years. If there is not much time before the wood is to be used for burning, it can be stored at home at a warm place for some hours before using it for burning.
An important thing to be kept in consideration before using wood for burning in the stove is that if the wood is soggy or wet it will not burn properly and not produce the required heat. As a consequence the heat produced will not be adequate for warming the space or room where the stove is placed; instead there will be loss which will result in water vapor. Using this kind of soggy wood, would slow down the heat production process of the stove and also make the glass covering of the stove appear shabby due to dust produced from burning. While you set for refueling your stove, remember to put the wood at the backside of the stove which will produce more heat from them.
Contemporary wood burning stoves are designed in a form that they combine plainness and unique designing together while providing efficient heat production and less fuel (wood) consumption at the same time. Wood burning stoves should be opted for heating solutions at home as they are environment friendly too.
