How to start a Wood Fire
The smell and the sound of a woodfire is an enjoyable addition to any home. However, it is important to know the correct method to build a fire in your stove. Improper techniques can result in the fire not to burn well, and may produce smoke or creosote. The following tips can assist you in starting a fire that will heat your home with the least effort and maximum security.
Before you begin a fire, you should check the condition of your coals and logs. If they are too wet they could smother the fire and prevent it from burning properly. You might also want to open the flue to let any ash that has been deposited into the stove.
Begin by putting several small, dry newspaper pieces in your stove. This will help to ignite the tinder. Once the tinder and kindling are beginning to burn, you can put the larger kindling pieces on top. This should be done in a crosshatch pattern, so that there will be air between each piece of cheap wood burner.
If you have wood stoves that have an automatic control of combustion that will automatically deliver a controlled stream of air to your flame as it heats. This will help the fire to burn at a consistent pace without having to constantly open the stove's door to tend it.
Avoid using too much tinder as this will cause the fire to burn at a fast rate and not utilize the fuel efficiently. When you have a good pile of tinder and some kindling in your stove, start the main fire by laying two large wood burner base logs on the grill. Next, place an additional layer of smaller logs perpendicular to these and on the top of the base logs. This "top-down" method of creating a fireplace will produce a long-lasting, efficient fire that doesn't consume larger base logs.
Once your fire is well established Close the damper and keep it closed. If you open the damper too early, it could cause the fire to be smothered, and it will not allow for the proper air flow, which can decrease the efficiency of the fire.
Add Wood
Stoves can be used to heat your home efficiently and also save you money. They can be utilized in conjunction with a central heating system or furnace to provide additional heat in large homes. A lot of the stoves that burn clean use a superior combustion principle that differentiates the burning of volatile compounds from combustible gases and tar by providing air in two different stages. The first stage is to aid in the vaporization, while the second is to provide fresh air that is pre-heated. This improves combustion and reduces the odors.
The amount of heat you can get from your stove depends on both the species of portable wood heater used as well as the amount of moisture in it, as well as the size of the logs. To let the wood dry, logs should be kept in a ventilated area for a couple of months prior to burning. If the logs have too much moisture, they will produce steam that is in essence wasted power.
It is best to add wood to the pile in intervals and not all at once. In addition, adding too much wood at once can cause the temperature to rise in the firebox, causing a vortex which draws smoke and unburned volatile compounds back into the flames. This could decrease the efficiency of your stove.
Avoid burning other combustibles in your stove wood burning such as cardboard or paper, because they are not wood. They have different physical properties and cannot be burned without causing dangerously high temperatures. You should also not use compressed combustibles like wood briquettes, as they have a distinct chemical and physical composition to real firewood, and are not suitable for burning in wood burning stoves.
It is important that you have a professional install and test your wood stove. A certified WETT technician will test the stove for proper operation and safety, as well as make sure that your chimney is operating properly. These professionals offer maintenance services for your chimney and stove to ensure they are in good condition. They will inspect the accessible areas of your chimney to determine if there is leakage and fix any issues found. They will also make sure that the occupants of your home are aware of and adhere to the evacuation procedures for fire in case of an emergency.
Adjusting the Damper
A damper controls how much heat escapes to the chimney when you aren't using your stove. It can also be used to control the fire. If the flue is opened but the damper is not closed enough, the fire won't be able to burn properly and it will release smoke into your living space. To get the most effective fire using your damper adjusted properly you must experiment with different locations 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 while a fire is burning. This allows the fire to get a good fire going and keeps it burning so that you can enjoy it for a long time. A proper opening will prevent the fire from starving of air and will keep it from blowing out smoke.
To properly adjust your damper you need to first ensure that the fireplace is heated and the wood stove is hot. This will ensure that the chimney stays warm and has an adequate draft. After these steps are completed, the damper for wood stoves can be adjusted.
After the fire has smolder slightly, you need to close the damper to about three-quarters of its original position. This will stop warm air in the room from venturing into the chimney, but still allowing smoke to escape.
This is the best method to keep the fire from getting too hot while still keeping it lit. If you shut the damper too far it could stop the draft from working, but should it be too wide, a cold breeze could enter your home.
You can check to see how much the damper is opened by holding your hand near the top of the inside of the flue pipe. If you feel a slight breeze rubbing against your hand the damper is probably in an open position.
The damper setting can vary a little from one stove to the next and even between different types of wood. Experimenting with the various settings will give you an idea of what to look for, but you will have to keep adjusting it until you find the perfect setting for your stove.
Clean up
It is important to clean your stove and flue after the start of a fire. This can reduce the chance of a fire in the chimney which is the main reason for fires caused by wood stoves. Creosote, a sticky substance that forms on the inside of the stovepipe and can be extremely hazardous. It is caused by moisture and unburned wood particles that are unable to escape the fire. It can also be caused by improperly lit fires.
A regular cleaning routine can help prevent the buildup of creosote. The most effective method for doing this is to sweep the chimney at least once a year. It is also recommended to get your stove and fireplace professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a every year.
It is also an excellent idea to clean out the Ash tray and grate frequently. It is best to only burn wood that has been seasoned since it will create less creosote. Avoid burning cardboard, paper and plastic. These materials can release harmful chemicals for the air and flue which could be released in your home.
The glass on the wood burning stove needs to be cleaned regularly too. Many modern wood stoves come with self-cleaning windows so they do not require as much cleaning. You can apply stove glass cleaners to the window if you're getting the glass as clean as you want on your wood stove.
Other tips for maintaining your wood stove include turning the vent down when you are not using it and slamming the door or window to increase air flow. This keeps the fire burning more hot and efficient. The wood stove won't have to be as active to circulate air. It is advisable not to stack logs, or let them sit on the fire for a long period of time. This can lead to splitting and warping. Finally, it is best to avoid using compressed combustible logs in your wood stove because the paraffin in them can melt and flow down the flue which could damage it.
