The answer is yes, it is the modern wood burner. The items that are engraved are done with a laser. We use a 60 watt laser that burns the image into the wood

The main emissions from a wood fired plant burning clean wood from forests or coppice will consist largely of water vapour and carbon dioxide (plus nitrogen and oxygen from the combustion air). The emissions will also contain traces of carbon monoxide, particulates and volatile organic compounds. However, these emissions are not exclusively produced by burning wood. They are also produced when fossil fuels like gas and oil are burned to produce energy.

Nothing provides such mellow warmth as a wood fire. Besides giving comfort, wood burning stoves are a good way to save energy and lower fuel bills. Unfortunately, wood stoves also are the cause of serious house fires because of improper installation, operation or maintenance. If you're thinking about buying a wood stove, purchase the proper type that will meet your heating needs. Select a stove that has been tested by a nationally recognized laboratory.

While they produce some radiant heat, most wood burning fireplaces are primarily decorative. Even heat circulating models still pull a tremendous amount of air from the home. There are several wood burning models that are efficient and clean burning. We also have several wood burning stoves and inserts that are very efficient.

The first step is to determine what wood waste streams you have available and how much net income per ton this represents. The second step is to take your natural gas bill or oil bills and determine what you are actually paying per therm or per gallon for fuel. Then give us a call and we can quickly give you an idea what savings you can expect. Boiler & Steam Systems, LLC. - (425) 614-0784 - 4675 174th Court SE Bellevue, WA 98006 - Contact Us

Absolutely. Both our masonry and zero clearance style wood burning fireplaces can be installed in a corner.

No. If the fireplace is designed for use only with gas, this is a very bad idea. The fireplace is not designed to withstand a wood fire. And the gas jets are not meant to come in contact with ash. This is a real fire hazard. It's possible your fireplace was originally a wood burning fireplace and has been converted to gas. In that case, it can be converted back. But you shouldn't burn would in it until that's happened.

compared to 0.3 for coal, 0.25 for oil and 0.19 for natural gas that is a saving of at between 71% and 82% Woodlands in Britain are subject to some of the tightest regulations in the world. All woodland tree felling of over five cubic meters of timber have to be approved by the Forestry Commission. Normally felling will only be approved on condition that the site is replanted with more trees afterwards.

If you use your fireplace frequently, you should have it cleaned after 1 cord of wood & inspected annually.

If you have a fully operational fireplace, whether masonry or pre-fab, it would normally be as simple as removing the gas logs & capping the gas line or installing a gas log lighter. But with today's new appliances, direct vent & ventless units would not be set up for solid fuel (wood) & could not be converted to wood burning.

A - There is no fireplace that can perform this dual function. The best you can do is to install a gas log lighter, which is a steel pipe with holes drilled in that is hooked up to the gas and paced beneath your log grate. There'll be a key mechanism outside of the fireplace for you to turn on the gas, which you would then ignite with a match. This setup is strictly for getting wood fires going.

The CO2 released by wood as it burns is equal to the amount taken up by the tree as it grows. This means that over the lifetime of the tree there is no change in atmospheric carbon dioxide When wood burns, it releases very few chemicals such as sulphur into the atmosphere, oil and particularly coal release relatively large amounts of sulphur into the atmosphere, leading to problems such as acid rain.

Dry, seasoned wood is best. The type of tree is not as important as moisture content. Wood must be allowed to dry for a minimum of 12 months, under cover, after being split and stacked. Popular firewood in the Northwest are: maple, alder, Douglas fir, spruce, apple and cherry. Another good fuel source is pressed fire logs, manufactured by pressurizing sawdust, as opposed to wax-based decorative logs, which have limited heating value.

Use seasoned hard wood. "Seasoned" wood is wood that has been dried out for at least half a year, preferably a year. It's opposite, green wood, will produce a cooler, smokier fire that's bad for your chimney. Hard woods are woods like oak, maple, beech, and ash. They burn hotter than pine, spruce, birch, or redwood. Do NOT use wood that has been painted or had finish applied. This could release toxic fumes into your home.

Yes. Professional chimney sweeps tell us that chimneys should be clean when the creosote has built up to 1/8" to 1/4". This will help prevent chimney fires. REMEMBER: The fireplace or wood stove is not an incinerator. Do not burn trash or large amounts of paper (especially gift-wrap). The tempertatures this can produce can damage your fireplace or chimney.

Most wood burning stoves and inserts are specifically designed and safety tested to burn only cordwood. Burning coal creates corrosive gases that can cause rapid deterioration of wood stoves and metal chimneys. Burning a fuel other than cordwood in your woodstove or insert will invalidate your warranty.

The small particles in wood smoke can worsen heart conditions by preventing oxygen from reaching tissues. Breathing difficulties such as asthma, may increase in adults or children, if they breathe too much smoke. Other health problems aggravated by burning include lung infections such as acute pneumonia and bronchiolitis. Allergies can be worsened. Burning trash can cause other long-term health problems.

Although in some instances it technically isn't a requirement, here at The Stove Connection we highly recommend it for all installations. A wood burning insert with it's own flue running the entire length of the chimney (aka a full liner) will be safer, less likely to have a chimney fire, have less drafting problems, reduce the amount of creosote build up and make it easier and cheaper to clean.

Relatively speaking, Here in the Eastern U.S. , heating with wood pellet fuel is cheaper than using other fuels. Prices on the various fuels will vary from region to region. So check out this Residential Fuel Comparison Chart to figure out how your own regions fuel cost compare against each other.

Yes. But you must use only clean and dry fuel. Smoke can cause neighborhood problems, especially with neighbors with lung problems. Clean and dry fuel usually eliminates this issue. Burning should not take place during the winter when inversions are common. Call 970-416-2874 for questions regarding backyard fires.

A - Each municipality has its own bylaws regarding this issue. Metropolitan Vancouver and the North Shore municipalities do not allow it, while other municipalities make allowances if you say it is a cooking fire (so keep a stick and a hot dog around!). There are a number of gas alternatives available for outdoor installation, some built in and others free standing. Q - I am interested in installing a natural gas patio heater.

A - You may find a log set burner small enough to fit into your stove or have a custom burner made to fit. You'll also have to get the gas into the stove without compromising the integrity of the stove. The door must be removed so as not to melt the gas valve or the controls outside the stove. A - Seasoned cordwood is hardwood that has been dried out for at least a year or more. To heat that space you would need a fan.

Yes. All Kozy Heat wood burning fireplaces use 100% outside air for combustion. This feature prevents room air from being lost up the chimney - a must for today's tighter homes.

We recommend burning the Kozy Heat fireplace with the doors closed for maximum efficiency and heat output. In addition, the latched doors provide added safety from log shifting and flying sparks. Only our models #231ZC & #241ZC can be converted to gas. By simply asking your installer to run a gas line to either of these models, the Kozy Heat #KLS-2000 Gas Conversion Kit can be installed quickly and easily.

It is recommended that a wood- burning fireplace be cleaned after one cord of wood has been burned since the last time the fireplace was cleaned. in accordance to NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) Code 211 an inspection is recommended annually.

Burning of wood is required to meet certain EPA emission standards that a coal burning appliance does not handle. It is not a safety issue, in fact, until 1990 we sold the coal burning appliances of today as wood or coal. But, when the EPA Clean Air Act of 1990 was enacted we had to start marketing them has coal only. The wood models either had to have a catalytic combuster added or adjust the firebox to meet a 35:1 air to fuel ratio.

To convert your wood-burning fireplace into gas, you must get an insert type gas fireplace. They are designed to fit into existing masonry and prefabricated fireplaces. For more information on our insert applications, click here.

Begin with the appliance itself. An appliance must be approved for use in a manufactured / mobile home, before proceeding any further. Wood stoves or wood burning fireplaces approved for use in manufactured / mobile homes are designated as such on the nameplate label. We do not recommend doing so. Most, if not all of the codes and standards throughout North America specify the installation of only approved wood burning stoves and fireplaces in manufactured homes.

You could be burning poor-quality wood. Burn only wood that has been air dried for at least six months, preferably a year or more. Use hardwoods such as hickory, oak, maple, etc. for highest heat value per load. Your cold air return is closed or blocked. Check to insure that all cold air return vents are open and not blocked with furniture, etc. Your duct joints are leaking air. Make sure that all duct joints are airtight; apply duct tape to seal. Check flue gas temperature.
