What One Should Know About Wood Burning Stoves

By Mark Ferguson


Timber burners are basically equipments that uses timber and are usually situated on the base area outlying the wall. There are a number of terms defining different kind of burners. The most commonly used is wood burning stoves. However, this does not mean that it can only burn timber. Majority of these burners are multifuel.

The equipment is vastly in demand due to two compelling reasons, good looks and money. Meaning that it is cost effective and enables one to add a true dimension of cosiness and comfort to the room devoid of jeopardizing the house and occupants. It is an alternative to the central heating and an open fireplace.

Without a doubt, the system can replace the entire heating system of the house depending on the size and location of the house and the quantity of the flue pipes. When it lit, the burner gives a beautiful addition to the house with the flames glistening behind the glass door. This type of burner is however not fit for every home. If a person is thinking of having it installed he or she should first consider these factors.

A person should first find out whether there is a cost effective and reliable supply of fuel accessible and the type. This is because these types of burners can use well seasoned logs, timber chips or timber pellets but there are some which are better suited to specific types of fuel.

These burners also require a person to find a dry, easily accessible and fairly spacious location to keep the timber fuels, if possible closer to the burner. The system also necessitates a fuel lined with a vent material properly suit for burning timber. This might only be feasible if a person has a chimney but will also require him or her to chip in some extra money

Wood burning stoves are more efficient when at full capacity thus presenting an apparent predicament given that a fast burn naturally produces more heat than desired. On the other hand shutting the fire means no heat will be generated. The only solution is setting up an accumulator tank something not everyone would afford to do.
