This results in less smoke and less harmful emissions.

A wood burning stove also offers the advantage of being an environmentally friendly fuel source, which is great for the environment. Furthermore, by buying locally sourced firewood you are aiding in the active management of woodlands which is a wonderful thing for wildlife.

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create very little pollution if they are properly maintained and are used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. However, if they're not maintained properly or are using wood of poor quality, the smoke produced by them is contaminated with fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can cause irritation to the lungs and other organs. Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic such as formaldehyde and benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also in the. Inhaling this type of air pollution may cause irritation to the lung as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks and may even lead to serious health conditions such as heart disease, cancer, or premature death.

Some people worry that using a wood burning stove could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. Wood burning is a carbon neutral energy source. Throughout the lifetime of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when it is burned, the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is sourced locally, which reduces the amount of pollution emitted in the transportation process. It is important to use hardwoods that are seasoned and of top quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick) have significantly lower emissions than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet the 2020 EPA standards which are much more strict than previous emissions limits.

To avoid the buildup of exhaust inside your home, all wood-burning stoves should be vented to the outside. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can create clear exhaust when keeping the flames at a distance from the wood logs and using dry, seasoned firewood.

A wood-burning stove that has a catalytic converter or a hybrid unit could provide the most efficient low-carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite gases and particles released from the initial combustion in a subsequent phase by mixing them with superheated air. They then funnel the remaining particulates and gasses through a catalytic combustor for the third and final combustion, the reduction of emissions to levels that is well below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are designed to burn fuel with the best efficiency possible. This results in the release of minimal particles into the air when burning wood. The stove's air management system controls the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process takes place in a controlled, sealed environment. It also regulates the flame height to minimise emissions and maximise heat output.

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

The smoke from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate matter and dangerous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can reach deep into the lung and other organs, causing damage, discomfort and even death. Airborne dust can also harm the surfaces of your home and create a gritty feel to rooms.

It is essential to use only top quality, seasoned, and dried firewood when using your wood burner fireplace. Hardwoods such as oak, ash, and beech are the most efficient for heating. Hardwoods have a higher density and BTU content, and they provide more heat than softwoods.

It is also important to determine if your local authority has any regulations regarding wood burning. These may include nuisance/odor rules and visible emissions, or opacity limits for smoke.

It is important to keep the glass of a wood stove with glass fronts free of dirt and deposits. This can be done using dry cloths or oven cleaner spray. You can also add bicarbonate soda mixed with water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is crucial for your chimney and stove. Regular chimney cleanings are necessary to get rid of creosote and ensure that the flue is working properly. You should also mark the dates of your periodic inspections on your calendar. This will allow you to avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your wood stove.

Low Maintenance

Many people prefer installing wood-burning fireplaces due to the natural warmth they generate. However, this kind of ethonal fire requires some upkeep and maintenance. If it is not maintained and cleaned regularly, the chimney, flue, and stove could all be potential sources of fires in your home. Fireplaces can also provide heat in the event of power outage, particularly during winter storms when tree branches can fall and power lines may be damaged.

Using a wood stove to heat your home will reduce your carbon footprint significantly in comparison to other fossil fuel sources such as gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts and fireplaces are designed to comply with EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency) which means they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more well-seasoned wood you use the more efficient the stove will be. You'll need less wood to generate the same heat.

The fireplaces require some attention and maintenance. They should be placed away from combustible material and have a screen. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and other debris. This will help keep the fire burning longer and your home clean. You should have your chimney and stove swept at least two times per year to avoid creosote accumulation, which can cause an fire hazard or blockage and hinder the airflow.

A wood burning stove will need to be kept in good order and it may take time for a novice homeowner to master the art of how to ignite, light, and maintain a steady fire in the fireplace. Once you've learned the art of lighting, your wood burning stove will be an excellent source of warmth and comfort within your home.

Wood-burning fireplaces have been around in one form or another for more than 500 years and they've regained popularity because of their effectiveness as well as their sustainability and natural warmth and scent of real wood.
