Winnerwell Secondary Combustion Burner 3.5'

How the Winnerwell Secondary Combustion Burner Works?

The Winnerwell Secondary Combustion Burner is designed to enhance the efficiency and performance of wood-burning stoves by facilitating a process known as secondary combustion. This process burns off the gases and particulates that are not fully combusted during the initial burn, resulting in a cleaner and more efficient fire.

How It Works:

1. Primary Combustion:

   • When wood is first burned in the stove, it undergoes primary combustion, where the wood releases gases (like carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons) and creates charcoal.
   • In this stage, not all of the fuel is completely burned, leading to some unburned gases and particulates.

2. Introduction of Secondary Combustion:

   • The Winnerwell Secondary Combustion Burner introduces a secondary air supply into the stove, typically above the primary firebox.
   • This secondary air is preheated by the stove before mixing with the unburned gases from the primary combustion.

3. Secondary Combustion Process:

   • As the hot gases from the primary burn rise, they mix with the preheated air from the secondary combustion burner.
   • This mixture ignites, burning off the remaining gases and particulates, which increases the stove's efficiency and reduces emissions.
   • This secondary burn can create a hotter, more consistent flame, improving the overall heat output.

4. Efficiency and Clean Burn:

   • By effectively burning the gases and particulates that would otherwise escape as smoke, the secondary combustion process minimizes creosote buildup in the chimney and reduces smoke emissions.
   • This results in a cleaner burn and more heat from the same amount of wood.

How to Operate:

1. Initial Setup:

   • Ensure that your Winnerwell stove is properly installed and that the secondary combustion burner is in place.
   • Load the stove with dry, seasoned wood for the best performance.

2. Lighting the Stove:

   • Start by lighting the stove as you normally would, focusing on getting a strong primary fire going.
   • Open the primary air intake to allow maximum airflow until the fire is well-established.

3. Engaging the Secondary Combustion:

   • Once the primary fire is burning well, adjust the air controls to allow preheated air to flow into the secondary combustion burner.
   • You should notice the flames intensifying as the secondary combustion takes place.

4. Monitoring and Adjusting:

   • Keep an eye on the stove's performance. You might need to adjust the air intake to optimize the secondary combustion process.
   • Proper adjustment will maximize efficiency, providing a hotter fire with less wood consumption.

5. Maintenance:

   • Regularly check and clean the stove and chimney to ensure that everything is functioning properly and safely.
   • Remove any ash buildup that could block airflow, and inspect the secondary combustion burner for any signs of wear or damage.

By understanding and effectively using the Winnerwell Secondary Combustion Burner, you can enjoy a more efficient, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly wood-burning experience.
