There are many benefits to burning wood ,but with that comes responsibility of operation and maintaining your appliance. Last a flue that runs up the exterior of the home will be a cold flue and prone to excessive buildup. Not allowing enough make up air into the home is another cause and wet wood could be another cause.
To have much build up unless you smolder wood by restricking too much air flow ie.draft through the furnace. Proper stack temp is achieved.400-500 degrees is a good drafting chimney and at these temps it impossible When we are talking about someones safety.Īll wood burners can create creosote.A barometric damper should be set with a manometer so the Please be carefull extending your version of truth
Barometric draft control code#
NFPA code says to follow the manfactures directions. I know of several others that use them too.ĬharMaster,WoodChuck,FireChief just to name a few. Yukon furnaces are UL listed to have a barometric draft regulator. Just my two cents, now let's see what the experts say. but there are stoves on the market that do it, and it would be nice to see more (it is definitely on my Wish List for my next stove purchase). Thermostatic air control complicates EPA testing and probably makes compliance more difficult. There has long been a subset of stove models available with simple bimetal thermostatic control of draft air, and most of them are reported to work quite well (though also a bit on the delicate/easily broken side). that is, before the fire, on the draft control side. To me, the *upstream* side of the airflow path is the place to look to stabilize wood stove burn rates.
even if it is supposed to just be admitting clean air. Plus wood stove exhaust is dirty/sooty enough that it is hard to trust anything as delicate and easily-fouled as a baro damper. Anything that cools the flue promotes creosote formation. I think the experts here will chime in and say that barometric dampers are discouraged and/or plain old not allowed on wood stoves (and solid fuel burners in general?). and the more the draft, the hotter the fire, and around and around it goes. anything that helps to stabilize the burn rate of our stoves would be welcome they're fundamentally unstable in the sense that the hotter the fire, the more the draft.
