How They Work
Wood stoves are a great way to warm your home. They can be utilized to heat a room as a primary source of heat or as supplementary heating. They also add ambiance and style, making any room feel more welcoming and warm. Wood burning stoves work by creating an environment that is controlled so that the fire can be more efficient in burning wood to produce heat.
They do this by directing air over the fire, which assists to control the speed and effectively it burns. This is an important aspect in the overall efficiency of a stove made of wood because a fire that smolders for too long loses energy and heat to the atmosphere. Contemporary wood stoves are designed to help reduce this by moving air into the firebox through different places to ensure that the fire is burning in a proper manner.
Many modern wood stoves use the catalytic combustion chamber to maximize efficiency. It is a piece metal, typically circular in shape, that is placed close to the top of the stove, where the flue pipe connects. It looks like a metal beehive and has pores in which the combustion gases are stored. These gases are then re-burned at lower temperatures to release more heat.
Other features in modern wood stoves include air bypass chambers. These are large flaps in the interior of the firebox that can be opened to redirect flue gases around the catalyst during startup. This lets the fire start more quickly and also reduces some of the initial soot buildup 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 wood stoves.
Convection Chambers

Many modern wood stoves use sheet iron. This material is malleable and can heat and cool faster than cast iron. This allows for the creation of a more durable, sleek and visually appealing stove that's ideal for modern homes. Sheet iron is also more environmentally friendly than casting iron, as it produces fewer harmful emissions.
