How to Properly Start a Wood Burning Stove
Wood stoves can be a great method to reduce energy consumption and also heat the room. They require some care.
A majority of modern wood burning stoves wood stoves comply with EPA emission guidelines. Look for an EPA sticker either under or on the grate, to ensure that your stove won't produce many harmful pollutants.
How to start a Wood Fire
The sound and smell of a wood fire could be a welcome addition to any home. It is essential to know how to build a fire on your stove. Improper techniques can result in a fire which does not burn well, and may produce creosote or smoke. These tips will help you start a fire that will heat your home with the least effort and with the highest security.
Before you begin a fire, check the condition of your coals and logs. If they're too damp they could smother the flame and stop it from burning properly. It is possible to open the chimney to eliminate any ash that's fallen into the stove.
Begin by putting a few small dry newspaper pieces in the stove. This will help ignite the tinder and kindling. When they begin to burn, add a layer of larger pieces to the top of the pile. This should be done using the crosshatch pattern to ensure that there is air between each piece.
If your wood Stove Wood Burning is equipped with an automatic combustion control it will automatically pump air into the fire as it expands. This will enable the fire to burn at a consistent pace without having to open the stove door to tend it.
Do not use excessive tinder since it can cause the fire to burn at a fast rate and not utilize the fuel efficiently. Once you've got a good base in your stove with sparks, tinder and kindling to start the main flame, you can do this by laying down two large logs of the base on the grill. Then, you can lay an additional layer of smaller logs that are perpendicular to them and on top of the base logs. This "top-down" method of building a fireplace will result in a long-lasting and effective fire that doesn't completely engulf larger base logs.
Close the damper when your fire has been established, and keep it shut. The fire could be smothered if you open the damper before it has fully established. It will also reduce the effectiveness of the fire.
Adding Wood
Stoves aren't just beautiful home décor pieces They can also help you save money by providing efficient wood heat. They can be used together with central heating systems or furnace to provide supplemental heating for large homes. Many of the new clean burning stoves that are available on the market use an advanced combustion principle which separates the burning volatile compounds from combustible gasses as well as tar. This is done by supplying air at two distinct stages. The first stage is to aid in the vaporization, while the second stage is to supply fresh air that has been pre-heated. This improves combustion and reduces the odors.
The amount of heat that you will get from your stove will depend on both the species of wood and the moisture content as well as the size of the logs. To let the wood dry, logs should be stored in a well ventilated area for a few months before burning. If the logs are not dry enough, they will produce a lot of steam that is essentially wasted energy.
While you're burning the fire, it is recommended to add more wood to the pile at intervals, and not all at all at. In addition, adding too much wood at once causes the temperature in the firebox to rise and creates a vortex, which draws smoke and volatile compounds that have not been burned back into the flame which can decrease the efficiency of your stove.
It is recommended to stay clear of other combustibles such as paper or cardboard in your stove, as they are not wood and possess different physical properties that can't be burned without creating dangerously high temperatures and excessive emissions. You should not burn compressed combustibles like wood briquettes because they differ in physical and chemical composition from firewood. They are also not approved by the type to be used in wood-burning stoves.
It is important that a professional install and test your wood stove. A certified WETT technician will test the installation to ensure safe operation and safety, as well as make sure that your chimney is working correctly.

Adjusting the Damper
A damper regulates how much heat is lost through the chimney when you aren't using your stove. It can also be used to regulate the flame. If the flue opens, but the damper is not closed the fire will not ignite properly and smoke will erupt into your home. To ensure you have the most effective fire using the damper properly adjusted, you should experiment with different settings and observe how each one affects the flames.
It is important to keep your damper open to allow air to be able to enter and exit the flue when a flame is burning. This will allow the fire to begin and stay lit for many hours. The right opening can stop the fire from being starved of air and prevent it from blowing smoke.
In order to properly adjust your damper, you have to first make sure the fireplace is heated and the wood stove is hot. This will ensure that the chimney is warm and has good draft. Once these are done the damper for wood stoves can be adjusted.
Once the fire has smolder slightly, you need to reduce the damper to around three-quarters of its maximum. This will prevent the warm room air from escaping through the chimney, while allowing smoke to escape from the wood stove.
This is the best way to keep the fire from becoming too hot while still keeping it lit. The draft may be stopped if one closes the damper too tightly, but a cold wind can enter your home if the damper is not closed.
You can determine how much the damper is open by placing your hand on the top of the of the flue pipe. If you can feel a slight breeze pushing against your hand, it's likely to be in the open position.
The damper settings can differ a little from one stove to the next, and even between different types of wood. Playing around with different settings will give you an idea of what you should look for, but you may have to keep adjusting it until you find the perfect setting for your stove.

Creosote, a sticky material that can accumulate within the stovepipe, can be very dangerous. It is caused by the moisture and stove wood Burning wood particles that are not burned that cannot escape the fire. It could also be caused by poorly lit fires.
Regular cleaning can help prevent creosote buildup. The best method to do this is to sweep the chimney every year. It is recommended to have your fireplace and stove professionally inspected and cleaned at least once a year as well.
It is also recommended to clean out the ash tray and grate regularly. It is best to only burn wood that has been seasoned since it will create less creosote. Avoid burning cardboard, paper and plastic. They can release chemicals that are dangerous for respiratory illnesses and the atmosphere, which may be released into your home.
