Wood burners triple the level of harmful indoor air pollution.
The chimney or flue gases must be hotter than the outside temperature to ensure combustion gases are drawn out of the fire chamber and up the chimney. The stove is connected by ventilating stove pipe to a suitable flue, which will fill with hot combustion gases once the fuel is ignited. The first wood-burning stoves were high-end consumer items and only gradually became used widely. This was two centuries before the Industrial Revolution, so iron was still prohibitively expensive. The first wood-burning stove was patented in Strasbourg in 1557. Generally the appliance consists of a solid metal (usually cast iron or steel) closed firebox, often lined by fire brick, and one or more air controls (which can be manually or automatically operated depending upon the stove). The population, and insurance companies, are a lot more comfortable and familiar with their use.A 19th-century example of a wood-burning stoveĪ wood-burning stove (or wood burner or log burner in the UK) is a heating or cooking appliance capable of burning wood fuel and wood-derived biomass fuel, such as sawdust bricks.
I guess you have to take insurance in context, 1 in 3 homes in New Zealand uses a stove as the primary source of winter space heating. Second to that is the wall clearance, which can be checked with a $10 thermometer. I counsel customers to do this, key area being penetration through the roof timber structure. In my experience it doesn't affect the safety of a sound installation, but the intervention offers a chance to assess that soundness. Most of my customers are fairly independent types, so are capable of using common sense when upgrading to an IntensiFire.
It would give another 30 years of service without too much work, but it has to be a well considered project. I never worry about a door seal with the IntensiFire, a little extra air doesn't hurt, but probably a cheap part over there. Refurbishing this stove would be best done by stripping it down, so a half day job to do that and reassemble.Those broken baffles are not required, and just unbolt. To be fair, if going the IntensiFire route you would see about picking up a more suitable candidate for a few hundred dollars on craigslist.
