Contemporary Wood Stoves Historically, homes were built around wood stoves, providing central heating that doesn't have any effect on your electric bill. Modern stoves are designed to be stylish and practical addition to any home. This DEFRA-approved contemporary wood burning stove features modern design and a combustion system that's green and eco-friendly. It has an A plus energy rating and can produce 5kW of power priced at PS1,900. How They Work Wood stoves are a great way to heat your home. They can be used to heat a space as a primary source or as a second source of heating. They also add ambiance and style to make any room feel more warm and inviting. The wood burning stoves create a controlled atmosphere which lets the fire be more efficient in burning and generate heat. They do this by directing air around the fire, which assists to regulate how quickly and effectively it burns. This is an important factor in the overall efficiency of a wood stove because burning for too long loses energy and heat to the air. Contemporary wood stoves are designed to help reduce this by sending air into the firebox from different locations to ensure that the fire is burning properly. Many modern wood stoves employ a catalytic combustion chamber to ensure maximum efficiency. It is a piece of metal that is usually circular in shape, which is positioned at the top of the wood stove, where the flue pipe is attached. It appears a lot like a metal honeycomb and it contains pores where combustion gases from the wood are released. The gases are then re-burned to release heat at lower temperatures. Air bypass chambers are a different feature that is found in modern wood stoves. These are large flaps that can be opened in the interior of a firebox to redirect flue gas around the catalyst when the wood stove is initially started. This allows the fire to be ignited more quickly and can limit some of the initial soot buildup on the catalytic surface. This feature is common in both new and old stoves, and it increases the heating efficiency of wood stoves. Convection Chambers If you reside in a rustic woodland cabin or a modern prefab tiny house, there's nothing that pairs better with the outdoors than a wood stove. These well-established heating appliances not only add ambiance and warmth to your living space but also provide an alternative to fossil fuels. Here's how. Modern wood stoves are extremely energy efficient due to technological advancement. They come with a skin that creates pockets of air directly around the main compartment or “firebox.” Cool air from the room is drawn into the pockets, and released at the top of the stove when it gets warm. This allows the room to be heated faster. Many modern wood stoves are made from sheet iron, a substance that is quick to cool and heat and is more malleable than cast iron. This allows the development of an extremely durable, sleek, and attractive stove that is ideal for modern homes. Sheet iron is also more eco friendly than casting iron, because it emits fewer harmful emissions. If you're planning to purchase a new wood stove, make sure that it's catalytic as well as EPA-certified.

It's where you build the fire and burn your wood to create heat, and it's the area where your stove spends most of the time you use it. The fireboxes can be constructed from stainless steel or cast iron. Some modern stoves feature a secondary skin which creates pockets of heated air right around the fire. This lets the heated air warm the surrounding areas faster and more efficiently than any other fireplace or wood-burning heating device. Modern wood stoves aren't only for rustic cabins in the mountains anymore, they are now a part of many homes. A wood stove can be an amazing decoration piece for any space, making it feel warm and inviting. Wood stoves aren't designed to be the primary or sole source of heat.

Baffles and firebricks assist regulate the temperature in the stove, which reduces the amount of smoke and particulates produced. This reduces pollution and creosote in the air. A catalytic wood stove operates in the same way as a non-catalytic stove, but is more effective at igniting unburnt gases and bringing them back into the fire to re-combust.
