The dampers are usually situated in the stove's door. They allow fresh air to flow in. Exhaust gases are then drawn up an chimney, leaving your home. Modern wood stoves that are not catalytic rely on secondary combustion for their efficiency. They will build up creosote, however, when they are not properly used. Energy Efficiency Modern woodburner stoves are engineered for optimum heating efficiency The combustion process is being designed to burn firewood in the most efficient way possible. This means that more of the fuel is converted to heat, and less of it is wasted in the form of smoke or gases that have not been burned. The most important factor to consider when choosing the best woodburner stove is heating output that is measured in BTU per hour. This figure gives an idea of the amount of heat that the stove can produce. It's usually an accurate indicator of its capacity to efficiently heat your home. It is important to evaluate wood stoves according to their efficiency in combustion as well as heating efficiency. of combustion is how much of the fuel is converted into useful heat, while the heating transfer efficiency determines how the stove is able to convert the heat into warm air in your home. Stoves equipped with catalytic combustion systems can attain high levels of efficiency in combustion because the combustor burns a portion of the gases that are released during the initial combustion. This reduces the amount of flammable creosote in the chimney and cleans the exhaust gasses. Modern non-catalytic stoves can still be extremely efficient, but they tend to burn a bit hotter and have lower efficiency at lower temperatures. It is important to remember that the energy efficiency of the stove is only as good as the quality and condition of the fuel used to power it.
