How They Work
Wood stoves are a fantastic method of heating your home. They can be employed as a primary or supporting heating source, and provide a touch of class that makes any space feel warmer and more inviting. Wood burning stoves create an environment that is controlled so that the fire can use wood more efficiently to produce heat.
They do this by directing air around the fire, which assists to regulate how quickly and efficiently it burns. This is an important factor in the efficiency of a stove as the fire that burns for too long will deplete energy and heat to the air. Modern wood stoves are designed to reduce this by sending air into the firebox from different places to ensure that the fire is burning efficiently.
A large majority of modern wood stoves have combustion chambers that catalyze to ensure maximum efficiency. It is a piece made of metal that is usually circular in shape, that is placed at the top of the wood stove. It is where the flue pipe attaches. It resembles a beehive and has pores where the combustion gases are deposited. These gases are then re-burned at lower temperatures to release more heat.
Air bypass chambers are a different characteristic of modern wood stoves. These are large flaps that can be opened in the interior of the firebox to redirect flue gas around the catalyst when the wood stove is first initiated. This lets the fire start more quickly and also reduces some of the initial buildup of soot on the catalytic surface. This is a common feature in both new and old stoves and it helps to increase the heating efficiency of the wood stove.
