They don't affect the cost of electricity. Modern stoves can be a beautiful addition to any home. This DEFRA approved modern wood burning stove combines a contemporary design with an eco-friendly combustion system. It is rated with an A+ energy rating mark and can power up to 5kW, priced from 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 style and ambiance and make any space feel more warm and inviting. Wood burning stoves create a controlled atmosphere that lets the fire be more efficient in burning and generate heat. accomplish this by directing air through the fire, which allows to control the speed and efficiently it burns. This is an important factor in the effectiveness of a stove since a fire which smolders too long will lose energy and heat to the atmosphere. Modern wood stoves are designed to help reduce this by moving air into the firebox from different locations to ensure that the fire is kept burning efficiently. A lot of modern wood stoves make use of a catalytic combustor in order to aid in achieving maximum efficiency. This is a piece of metal, typically circular in form, that is placed close to the top of the stove, where the flue pipe connects. It resembles the honeycomb shape of a metal honeycomb. It contains pores where combustion gases from the wood are deposited. These gases are then burnt again at lower temperatures to release more heat. Air bypass chambers are yet another feature 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 initiated. This will help start the fire faster and lessen the initial buildup of soot over the catalytic sur
