What Is a Wood Stove?

A wood stove is a type of heating appliance that burns wood or other wood-derived biomass as its fuel. Many of these stoves also burn sawdust bricks. These stoves typically have a solid metal firebox that is lined with fire brick, and they have one or more air controls for the combustion process.

A wood stove should be installed by a certified professional. A professional will be able to properly install the stove and inspect it for leaks and draw. They can also provide recommendations for installing a wood stove in your home. A certified technician will be able to perform a smoke test to determine if your stove is leaking. If your stove is leaking, you can reposition the chimney pipe or add more fasteners to prevent further damage.

A wood stove can heat a small room or a whole house. The smaller models are ideal for a family room or seasonal cottage. Larger models can be used for zone heating in larger houses and can save on fuel bills. They are also ideal for heating an open floor plan or older homes. You can even find portable models.

A wood stove can be made of a variety of materials. Some are cast iron while others are made of plate steel. Plate steel is a popular material for wood stoves, but is not as durable as cast iron. Another high-end type of wood stove is made from soapstone, which burns cleaner than cast iron and is able to burn for up to 24 hours at a time.

A wood stove is one of the most cost-effective ways to heat a home. It can also be used in tents, giving off a cozy, rustic ambiance. Whether you want to warm up a room in the winter or simply heat a small space in the summer, a wood stove is an excellent choice.

Wood burning stoves rely on the constant flow of air to create combustion. Fresh air is drawn into the stove via the adjustable dampers to burn the wood. This is crucial to combustion, which can't happen without oxygen. The exhaust gases are then drawn up through the chimney and safely exit the building. Many wood stoves today are equipped with fire brick to prevent overheating and improve efficiency.

Emission standards are increasingly strict. Some newer models have an EPA-certified emission level of one to four grams per hour. You can check the EPA standards on the label of your stove, and look for one that meets them. A higher EPA-certified efficiency rating will save you money and time. A high-efficiency wood stove will also reduce the amount of wood you have to chop and stack during winter storms.

The King has a long history. These stoves are capable of burning for over forty hours and putting out enormous heat. Their burn time varies according to the wood you use.
