Caboose - A very small wood burner Small Wood Burner

The Caboose is an Ecodesign and DEFRA approved log burner, which is able to burn wood and smokeless fuel. It can hold larger pieces of wood than most small stoves and boasts a remarkable heat output and burn time.

The wood stove can be protected with an heatshield to ensure compliance with Approved Building Document J which states that wood stoves should be kept away from combustible surfaces.

Clean Wood

Wood stoves aren't only stunning to look at, they also serve as a fantastic source of heating for homes. To ensure that they operate smoothly and efficiently, they must be maintained in a proper manner. It is sometimes an issue to keep the glass clear. However, a few simple techniques can make a huge difference.

First of all, it's essential to only use the wood that has been seasoned in your wood stove. It must be cut into pieces and stored for at least one year prior to burning to reduce the amount of smoke. Unseasoned wood can cause a flue to overheat and result in an explosion that is out of control.

Only burn clean wood on your cast iron wood burner stove. Avoid burning paper and other non-wood products like plastics or rubber, since they could release toxic fumes which are bad for your health. Burning treated or painted wood may release harmful chemicals, such as arsenic, which is bad for your health.

It is also a good idea to regularly clean the interior of your stove. This can be done quite easily with a common household vacuum cleaner and brush attachment. You can also buy various cleaners designed to be used on glass stoves. However it is essential to ensure that the product you choose to use will not void the warranty of your stove prior to using it.

Finally, it is important to inspect regularly the fire rope seals on the top and bottom doors of your wood burner. These seals prevent smoke or soot escaping from the stove. It is important that they are firmly installed and not worn out.

The last thing to do is you should remove any birds who have settled on your chimney. Seagulls can pose a threat since they tend to perch on chimneys during the summer. This can cause all sorts of debris to fall in the flue and cause damage to your stove. There are many different spikes and bird guards available that can be fitted to your chimney to prevent this from occurring.

Paper Burning

The right type of paper will not only ignite the fire quickly, but can also produce dangerous smoke. Certain types of paper such as gift wrap and glossy magazines contain harmful chemicals that can emit toxic fumes when they burn. To keep your home safe from creating an unsafe environment, only burn clean paper on your wood burner.

If you have only some pieces of paper to burn, you might consider using the tub. Place a stack on top of the tub and light a corner. The water will absorb any embers that fall, and prevent them from catching the surrounding trees or grass that are on fire. If you're worried about the smell of burning paper, put a bowl of vinegar or baking soda near to neutralize the smell.

To ensure that the paper burns properly begin with a small base of twigs or newspaper that has been shredded. Then add 3-4 medium-sized logs to the flame and allow them to start to burn. Then, put the paper on the top. The paper will burn fast and you must watch the flame closely.

It is recommended to burn your paper outside on the day there isn't any wind. A strong gust of wind could blow embers into the grass or onto your property. Additionally, the smoke from burning papers could cause breathing issues when inhaled.

You can also use the BBQ grill to burn paper, however this method is recommended if you only have a couple of sheets of paper to burn. If you have a removable grilling surface you can remove it and then burn the paper directly on the charcoal.

Before you begin burning paper, ensure that your wood burner is fully tested and the firepit has been free of any twigs or branches. In case in an emergency, it is recommended to keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Contact your local government and homeowners' association to find out whether it is permitted to burn paper outside.

Safety Precautions

Wood burning stoves can provide many hours of relaxation and pleasure, but that joy is only possible if you take the practical steps to use them in a safe manner. It may seem obvious to others however the reality is that too many people don't follow the basic safety precautions.

Make sure your stove is properly insulated, and that any flue pipes running outside are protected. It is also important to ensure that pets and children are kept away from the stove.

Check that any paper or trash is not left in the fireplace. The burning of these materials can cause the chimney and woodburning fireplace to overheat. They can also cause creosote, which is a major fire hazard and must be cleaned on a regular basis.

Make sure the smoke alarms are in good working order and test them monthly. Installing carbon monoxide detectors can also save lives. They are also inexpensive.

Always keep a fire extinguisher within reach in the event in the event of an emergency. Always burn only dry, seasoned, and dry logs and do not build a pile of logs that are too big. Burning a stack of logs in a row will result in a lack of combustion and increases CO emissions. It is also essential to monitor the fire, and if it gets out of control, you must extinguish it immediately.

When you're done using your stove, be sure that the fire has been put out and that all combustible substances have been removed from the flue pipe and firebox. There are specific clearance requirements based on the stove's model and on how you plan to install it in your home.

If you are planning to install your wood stove in a smoke controlled area, you should consider a DEFRA-approved model. These stoves are designed for use in smoke-controlled areas and are available in a range of sizes and colors. Some models can even be customized to fit your specific decor and are designed with direct air intake for improved performance in smoke control zones.

Installation

Wood stoves are a popular choice to heat small areas. They can be put in yurts, sheds, and even cabins. They also provide a warm and cozy fire without the use of oil or electricity. To correctly install your wood stove, it is essential to adhere to the manufacturer's installation guidelines. These instructions will help you avoid dangerous problems, and ensure your stove is safe to use.

Before installing your stove, you must remove all combustible items from the area. Also, make sure that you have at minimum 16" of clearance from the stove to the nearest wall that is combustible. If you are not able to meet these requirements, you could install a hearth pad or stove board. This non-combustible mat will come with spacers of 1" to allow the stove to sit further away from the walls, which can reduce clearance requirements by as much as 66 percent.

It is also recommended to remove items that are combustible, such as curtains and furniture to stop smoke from entering the room. Also, you should install a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector in your shed. The last thing to do is make sure that your shed has adequate ventilation. It is important to check your stove regularly and chimney for safety.

It is an excellent idea to buy indoor wood burner stoves that are EPA certified. This certification means that the stove is over 75% efficient, which means it will capture and convert more heat from wood than it releases. It is also a good idea to choose your wood stove according to the recommended heating capacity of the area in which it will be placed. This will stop you from overloading your wood stove which could result in creosote and smokeouts.

Once you have cleared the area and removed combustible items, you should prepare the stove's foundation. This includes the removal of all combustible objects and prepping the hearth. Also, you should check for any existing vents to make sure they are not blocked and clear. You will need to install vents if they are not working.

After your stove has been installed, you should test it by lighting 3 or 4 small fires. This will cure the paint and fire bricks on your stove and will ensure that you are able to safely light a large fire.
