It is therefore considered more eco-friendly than burning fossil fuels, which generate a significant amount of carbon dioxide. Additionally wood can be found locally, which is beneficial to the environment because it stops trees from being cut down in the unneeded.    Energy efficiency    Wood stoves are a great method of heating your home.

They are easy to set up and can be connected to the flue or chimney system.    The latest wood burning stoves comply with strict environmental standards. They use a process known as reburning. This reduces the use of wood and also helps in reducing particulate emissions. This process burns volatile gases which escape the fire, and recombines them with the rest the fuel to generate more heat. They also use baffles and other methods in order to reduce the amount smoke produced by the flames.    Wood burning stoves are popular and efficient ways to heat homes.

They can be utilized in conjunction in conjunction with other green technologies such as passive solar heating and an airtight building envelope. In addition, they can be connected to an ducted furnace or heat pump to increase their efficiency.

They produce fewer harmful gasses as a result.

These used stoves and wood burning fireplaces still require regular maintenance. This includes a thorough cleaning, regular chimney sweeping, and other maintenance tasks. This will ensure that your stove is safe and works properly.    The main goal of maintenance for wood stoves is to prevent creosote build-up. Creosote is a hazardous flammable substance, is produced when wood is burned in a faulty fire. If this substance is not removed, it can accumulate in the chimney and cause the possibility of a chimney fire. Creosote can also block the stove's flue and reduce its effectiveness. The best way to avoid creosote from forming is to maintain a fast-burning fire with well-seasoned, dry wood. It is important to keep a flue temperature exceeding 250 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure proper combustion and to keep the chimney free of debris.    It is important to inspect the condition of the wood burner you are using and replace any damaged components before using it. It is a good idea to read the instruction manual and follow any maintenance instructions.    Every day, you should clean your wood stove in order to remove ash from the firebox. Also, be sure to clean the ash pan. It is a good idea to also use seasoned firewood that produces less ash. Examining the batteries in smoke detectors is a further important maintenance task. Chimney sweeping is also vital to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.    Other maintenance items to be inspected include the following:    Viewing Window    Glass viewing windows should be checked on a regular basis for scratches and cracks. Contact your retailer or wood-stove manufacturer to obtain replacement glass if the glass has been damaged. Glass windows are made from an extremely durable material that can withstand the heat generated by wood stoves.    Gaskets    Most wood stoves have gaskets made of rope that seals the door. If it is damaged or burned the stove won't function properly. If the gasket is damaged, just poke it. If it comes off easily, you can purchase gasket cement as well as a replacement material.
