How Do Wood Burning Stoves Work?

0

Wood Wood burning stoves provide heat by burning wood. As the wood burns, the heat comes from the top and sides of the stove. Chimney and Flue The flue is a part of the chimney of a wood stove that you can open or close to control the air flow to the fire. When a fire is first built, it needs more air; after it has been burning a while, the flue can be closed down to slow the burning and create more heat, which makes the wood last longer. Area A wood burning stove can heat an entire house if it is placed correctly. Since heat rises, placing the stove in a basement with vents and fans to the upstairs area is ideal. Heat-activated fans are available to mount directly over the stove to make sure that no heat is wasted and that it gets dispersed throughout the space.
