How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

Wood stoves, unlike traditional open fireplaces, are designed to use wood for combustion. This allows them meet tighter emissions regulations.

Wood burning stoves create sparkling yellow flames and soft crackling noises. They also provide warmth and a warm sensation. The smoke that is produced contains toxic air pollutants like benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves made of wood are not only gorgeous, but they are also extremely efficient. A high-quality wood burner can be eco-friendly up to 77 percent. It is vital to get the most value of your log burner particularly with the increasing energy costs. The good thing is that it's easier than ever to do!

One of the main factors that determines the effectiveness of the wood-burning stove is is the water content of the wood. We recommend using only seasoned wood that has been dried for at least one year, and in some cases, two years. The more dry the wood, the better it burns. This means lesser smoke and fewer harmful emissions.

Another advantage of a wood burning stove is that it's a low carbon source of fuel, which is great for the environment. If you buy locally-sourced wood, you can also help to contribute to the active conservation and management of forests. This is great for wildlife.

As far as maintenance is concerned, the only requirement for a wood burner is to frequently remove and scoop up the ash. It can be somewhat of a hassle but it's worth it to get the most heat from every log. Additionally when you wait for a couple of days until the ashes completely cool they can be used as a non-toxic and eco-friendly ice melt. They can also be used to polish jewellery and remove smells.

A fireplace made of wood is a timeless classic. Although they are less popular than gas fireplaces, their appeal and ambiance of a roaring fire cannot be ignored. They are ideal to snuggle up with on cold nights, and they create a warm and welcoming area in your home. Make sure you invest in a high-quality wood stove and you'll start reaping the benefits for many years to be!

Low Carbon

Fireplaces and wood-burning stoves cause very little pollutant if they are maintained properly and are used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. If they aren't properly maintained or when they use wood that is of poor quality the smoke produced is a result of fine particles, often referred to as particulate pollutants that can cause irritation to the the lungs and other organs of the body. It also contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling these types of air pollution can cause lung irritation as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks. It could even lead to serious health issues such as cancer, heart disease, or premature death.

Many are concerned that wood-burning stoves will cause climate change, but this isn't necessarily true. Burning wood is a carbon-neutral energy source. In the course of the life of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burned, the absorbed carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

Since the wood is sourced locally, this reduces the amount of pollutants released when it is transported. It is also essential to select top quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will have an extended and even burn than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, such as the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit less carbon dioxide than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet the 2020 EPA standards, which are significantly more stringent than the previous emission limits.

All wood-burning stoves must be fully vented to the outside of your home to ensure that they don't create a build-up of exhaust in your house. All our current DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can produce clear exhaust when keeping the flames above the wood logs and by using dry, seasoned firewood.

A wood-burning stove with a catalytic converter is the best low carbon heating option. These units ignite the gasses and particulates from the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then transferred to a catalytic unit to create a final and third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels far below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the highest efficiency that is achievable. This means that there are fewer particles emitted into the atmosphere when burning wood. The stove's air management system regulates the intake and venting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process takes place in a controlled, sealed atmosphere. It also regulates the flame's height to minimise emissions and maximise heat output.

This means your chimney and surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also called particle pollution) from wood that is not fully combusted can cause respiratory problems like coughing and wheezing in people and can lead to the development of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other serious health issues. Wood burning is also a contributor to poor air quality in cities.

The smoke that is emitted from poorly combusted wood contains 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 reach deep into the organs of the lungs and cause discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate surfaces in your home and give them a rough feel.

It's important to use only top quality, seasoned, and dried firewood when using your wood burner electric wall mount fireplace. The most valuable woods for heating are hardwoods such as oak, ash and beech. Hardwoods have a high density and BTU content, and they provide more heat than softwoods.

You should also check whether your local authority has rules regarding wood burning. These could include nuisance/odor regulations and visible emissions, or the opacity limit for smoke.

If you have a wood stove with a glass door, it's important to keep the glass free of dirt and deposits. You can use a dry towel or oven cleaner spray for this. Alternatively, you can mix bicarbonate of a soda with a small amount of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is essential for your stove and chimney. Regular chimney cleanings are required to get rid of creosote and to ensure that the flue works correctly. You should also mark the dates of periodic inspections on your calendar. This will allow you prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Many people choose to install wood burning fireplaces because of the natural warmth they create. However, this type of fire requires some care and maintenance. The chimney, flue, and stove can all be the cause of house fires, if they're not cleaned and maintained regularly. They also provide warmth in the event of an electrical outage, particularly during winter storms, when tree branches can fall and power lines could be knocked down.

Using a wood stove to heat your home can reduce your carbon footprint significantly in comparison to other fossil fuel sources such as gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts, and fireplaces are built to meet EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency) which means they produce very little emissions. The more well-seasoned the wood is, the more efficient it will be which means you'll burn less to generate the same amount of heat.

Fireplaces require some maintenance and care. They should be kept away from materials that ignite and have a screen. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate clear of ash and debris. This will ensure that the fire is burning longer and your home tidy. It is recommended that your stove and chimney swept at least once a year to prevent creosote build-up which could create an extremely dangerous fire hazard as well as a blockage that can hinder the flow of air.

A wood burning stove will need to be maintained on a regular basis and it could take some time for a new homeowner to learn how to light, ignite and maintain a steady fire in the Wall Fireplace Electric. Once you've learned the art of creating and maintaining an open flame in your wood burner, it will be a source of constant pleasure that will provide warmth and warmth to your home every year.

Wood burning fireplaces have been around in some form or another for over 500 years. They've gained a lot of attention due to their energy efficiency, sustainability and the natural warmth of wood.
