How They Work

Wood stoves are a great way to warm your home. They can be used as a primary or secondary heating source, and provide a touch of class that makes any space feel more welcoming and warm. Wood burning stoves create a controlled space that allows the fire to be more efficient in burning and generate heat.

This is a crucial factor in the effectiveness of a stove, as the fire that burns for too long will lose energy and heat into the atmosphere. Modern wood stoves can help reduce this by directing the air into the firebox in various directions to keep the fire burning.

A large majority of modern wood stoves have combustion chambers that catalyze to help achieve maximum efficiency. It is a piece of metal typically in a circular shape, that is placed on top of the wood stove, where the flue pipe is attached. It looks like a metal beehive, and has pores where the combustion gases are placed. The gasses are then burned again at lower temperatures to release more heat.

Other features that are found in many modern wood stoves include air bypass chambers. They are large flaps within the interior of the firebox that can be opened to redirect the flue gases around the catalyst during initialization. This allows the fire to be ignited more quickly and reduces some of the initial buildup of soot on the catalyst's surface. This is a common feature in both new and old stoves and it helps to improve the efficiency of heating in the wood stove.
