How They Work

Wood stoves can be an excellent way to warm your home. They can be used as a primary or supplementary heating source, and they add an element of style that makes any space feel more welcoming and warm. Wood burning stoves function by creating an atmosphere that is controlled, where the fire can be more efficient in burning wood to produce heat.

This is done by directing air towards the fire. This allows you to control how quickly and efficiently the fire is burning. This is a major factor in the overall efficiency of a wood stove, as the fire that burns too long will lose energy and heat to the atmosphere. Modern wood stoves help reduce this by directing the air inside the firebox in various directions to keep the fire burning.

Many modern wood stoves employ combustion chambers that catalyze to maximize efficiency. It is a piece made of metal typically in a circular shape, that is placed at the top of the wood stove, where the flue pipe connects. It appears a lot like a metal honeycomb and it has pores in which the combustion gases from the wood are released. These gasses are then burned again at lower temperatures to release more heat.

Other features in modern wood stoves are air bypass chambers. These are large flaps in the interior of the firebox that can be opened to redirect the flue gases around the catalyst during initialization. This will help start the fire more easily, and reduce the initial accumulation of soot on the catalytic surface. This is a standard feature in both new and old stoves. It helps increase the efficiency of heating the wood stove.
