Calculating the heat loads<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It is important to choose the right heat output of your wood burner. A right decision can give your future enjoyment of your burner and its running costs. The following guidelines will help you to decide which heat output is ‘ideal’ for your requirements. However, the ‘ideal’ temperature you want to achieve is always going to be a matter of personal preference. Here are some considerations you should bear in mind…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing a big burner and reducing the fuel load to compensate means that the fire-chamber may not reach the correct operating temperature and thus the body may not be able to radiates the heat in a traditional wood burner or convect the heat in a contemporary convection wood burner. What you’ll get is a lackluster fire and poor heat output. Reducing the temperature will also make the flue gases rise slower and thus could create problems with creosote and condensates. You are going to have problems also by keeping the glass clean as a low temperature reduces the effectiveness of the glass air wash system. Finally from an environmental viewpoint choosing a big burner and then reducing the fuel load has as a result to producing more smoke and more pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On other hand, choosing a burner which is too small and then having to stoke it up to get warm on very cold days could potentially permanently damage your burner and flue system through over-heating the wood burner and the flue components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
