The amount of moisture in firewood is a key factor that determines how efficient a stove that burns wood is.

This means less smoke, and less harmful emissions.
Another advantage of a wood-burning stove is that it’s a low carbon source of fuel, which is excellent for the environment. By purchasing locally sourced wood, you also help to support the active management and conservation of forests. This is great for wildlife.

It can be a bit of a nuisance, but it is worth it in order to ensure you get most heat from every log. If you allow the ashes to completely cool and then, they can be used as a non-toxic, environmentally friendly melt of ice. They can also be used to polish jewellery or absorb odors.

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create very little pollution if they are properly maintained and are used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. However, when they are not maintained well or used with poor quality wood the smoke that is produced by them can contain fine particles (known as particulate pollution) which can cause irritation to the lung and other organs. Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde and benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also in the. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation of the lung and trigger asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and lung irritation. It may also cause heart disease, cancer or premature death.
Some people fear that using a wood-burning stove can cause climate change, but this is not necessarily true. Burning wood is a carbon-neutral energy source. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its lifetime. When burned carbon dioxide is released into the air.
The wood is local, which decreases the amount of pollution released during transportation. It is important to use hardwoods that are well-seasoned and of top quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.
Modern wood stoves, like the ones made by Charlton & Jenrick, emit significantly less pollutant than older stoves. They have been certified to meet 2020 EPA standards which are significantly more strict than previous emission limits.
To prevent a build-up of exhaust within your home, all wood burning stoves must be vented completely to the outside. All our current DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can produce clear exhaust when keeping the flames at a distance from the wood logs and using dry well-seasoned, clean firewood.
A wood-burning stove equipped with a hybrid unit or catalytic converter can provide the most efficient low carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite gasses and particles that were ignited during the initial burning in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then funnel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustion combustor for an additional and final combustion, further reducing emissions to a level that is well below the government standards.
Clean Burn
Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest possible efficiency. This results in a minimum amount of dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood. The stove’s air management system controls the intake and venting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process is conducted in a closed, controlled environment. It also regulates the flame height to reduce emissions and maximize the heat output.
This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also referred to as particle pollution, is a result of incompletely burned wood can trigger respiratory issues, like wheezing and coughing, and contribute to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other serious ailments. The air pollution resulting from wood burning is also an important factor in poor urban air quality.
The smoke that is emitted from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate pollution as well as hazardous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can be absorbed into the lungs, as well as other organs, causing discomfort, harm, and even death. Dust particles from the air can also damage the surfaces in your home, and can give a gritty feel to rooms.
When using your wood-burning fireplace it is essential to use high-quality firewood that has been properly seasoned and dried. The most valuable woods for heating are hardwoods like beech, oak and ash. Hardwoods have a high density and BTU content and they provide more heat than softwoods.
You should also check whether your local authority has regulations regarding wood burning. These rules could include rules on odors and nuisances, as well as visible emissions or smoke opacity limits.
It is important to keep the glass of a wood stove with an open front that is free of dirt and deposits. You can use a dry towel or oven cleaner spray for this. Alternately, you can add bicarbonate of soda with a bit of water to the glass.
Regular maintenance of your stove and chimney is also essential. Regular chimney cleanings are required to get rid of creosote and ensure that the flue is operating properly. You should also mark the dates of your periodic inspections on your calendar. This will help you prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your wood stove.
Low Maintenance
Wood burning fireplaces are very popular because they offer natural warmth. This kind of fireplace requires a bit of maintenance and upkeep. If not cleaned and maintained regularly the chimney, flue and stove could all have the potential to cause fires within your home. Fireplaces are also an excellent source of heat when the power goes out, particularly in winter when snowstorms can cause tree branches to fall and rip down power lines.
Using a wood stove to heat your home will reduce your carbon footprint significantly in comparison to other fossil fuel sources like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts have been designed to comply with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards which mean they produce very low emissions. The more seasoned wood you use the more efficient your stove will be. You’ll need less wood to get the same amount of heat.
These fireplaces require some maintenance and attention, including making sure they are placed away from the ignition source and that a screen is installed. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate clear of ash and other debris. This will keep the fire burning longer and your home in good order. You should have your chimney and stove swept at least once a year to prevent the build-up of creosote which could create a fire hazard and obstructions that could hinder circulation.
A wood burning stove has to be maintained on a regular basis and it may take time for a beginner homeowner to learn how to light, ignite, and maintain a steady fire in the fireplace. Once you’ve mastered the art of burning, your wood burner will be a source for warmth and comfort within your home.
Wood-burning fireplaces have been around in a variety of forms for more than 500 years and they’ve gained a new following because of their efficiency as well as their sustainability and natural warmth and smell of real wood.
