The fresh air is dragged into the stove through adjustable dampers which are typically located inside the door of the stove. Exhaust gases are then drawn up an chimney, leaving your home. Modern wood stoves that are non-catalytic rely on secondary combustion to make them efficient. However, they'll eventually build up creosote if not used properly. Energy Efficiency Modern woodburner stoves are designed to maximize the efficiency of heating. The combustion process has been designed to burn firewood as efficiently as possible. This means that more fuel is converted to heat, and less of it is wasted as smoke or unburnt gases. The BTU per hour is the primary aspect to consider when choosing a woodburner. This figure gives you an idea of how much heat the stove can produce and is usually an accurate indicator of its ability to comfortably heat your home. It is crucial to evaluate wood stoves on the basis of their efficiency in combustion and heating efficiency. The efficiency of combustion measures how much of the fuel is converted into useful heat, while the heating transfer efficiency is how the stove is able to convert that heat to warm air in your home. Stoves that have a catalytic combustion system can attain high levels of efficiency because the combustor re-burns some of the gases that are released during the initial combustion. This helps to clean the exhaust gases and reduces the amount of flammable chimney deposits known as creosote. Modern non-catalytical stoves are still extremely efficient. However they tend to burn more hot and perform worse at low temperatures. It's worth bearing in mind that the energy efficiency of an appliance is only dependent on the quality and condition of the fuel that powers it. Dry and seasoned firewood
