Contrary to traditional open fireplaces, wood stoves are specifically designed and optimized to burn firewood. This allows them to comply with stricter emission standards.

Wood burning stoves offer glowing yellow flames, cozy crackling sounds, and that primordial sense of warmth. However, the smoke it creates includes carbon monoxide and harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

With the increasing cost of energy, it is crucial to make sure you're getting the maximum benefits from your log burner - the good news is that this is much simpler than ever!

One of the main factors that determines the efficiency of the wood-burning stove is will be the moisture content of the firewood. We recommend using only seasoned wood that has been dried over a period of at least one year and in many cases two years. The more dry the wood, the more efficiently it burns, which means less smoke and less harmful emissions.

Another benefit of a wood burning stove is that it's a low carbon source of fuel, which is fantastic for the environment. In addition, by buying locally-sourced firewood, you're helping to support the active management of forests which is a good thing for wildlife.

The only thing that a wood burning stove requires in terms of maintenance is to regularly remove and get rid of the ash. It can be somewhat of a hassle however it is worth it to get the maximum heat from each log. If you wait for the ashes to completely cool and then, they can be used as a non-toxic and eco-friendly melting ice. They can also be used to polish jewellery and remove smells.

A wood-burning fireplace is an old-fashioned classic. Although they're less popular than gas fires however, there's no denying the appeal and enthralling sound of a roaring fire.

Low Carbon

Wood burners that are efficient and clean are one of the best ways to save the cost of logs while keeping your home warm. They also help local woodland management. This is a great option to help wildlife in your area.

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

Some people are concerned that wood-burning stoves will contribute to climate change, but this isn't necessarily true. Burning wood 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.

Since the wood is sourced locally, it reduces the amount of pollution emitted during transportation. It is essential to select hardwoods that have been seasoned and of high quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, such as the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit significantly less pollutant than older stoves. They have been certified to meet 2020 EPA standards that are significantly more strict than earlier emission limits.

All wood burning stoves must be fully vented to the outside of your home to ensure they do not cause a build-up of exhaust within your home. By keeping the flames in the vicinity of the logs and ensuring that you use dry, seasoned and dry wood and all our clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves produce extremely clear exhaust and have particulate levels that are 60% or more below the DEFRA limit.

A wood-burning stove with an integrated unit or catalytic converter could be the most efficient low carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite gasses and particles released from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them superheated air. The remaining gasses and particulates are pumped through a catalytic combustion unit to create a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels that are below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest possible efficiency. This results in the emission of very small particles into air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and exhaust of gases to ensure the combustion process takes place in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximise heat output and minimize emissions.

This means that your chimney and surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also known as particle pollution, resulting from incompletely burned wood can trigger respiratory problems, such as wheezing and coughing, and contribute to heart diseases as well as stroke, diabetes and other serious conditions. Air pollution from wood combustion is an element that contributes to poor urban air quality.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollution as well as hazardous air pollutants such as carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can get into the lungs, and other organs, causing discomfort, harm, and even death. Airborne dust can also damage surfaces in your home, giving them a gritty feel.

When you are using a fireplace insert that is wood-burning, it's important to only use high-quality firewood that has been properly seasoned and dried. The most effective woods for heating are hardwoods, such as oak, ash and beech. Hardwoods are incredibly dense and have a higher BTU than softwoods. They also have more heat.

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

If you have a wood burner with a glass door, it's important to keep the glass clean of grime and deposits. This can be done using a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray. You can also add bicarbonate soda mixed with water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is also important for your stove and chimney. Regular chimney cleanings are necessary to remove creosote, and also to ensure that the flue works properly. Be sure to note dates for inspections on a regular basis in your diary, as this will allow you to avoid expensive repairs and prolong the lifespan of your wood stove.

Low Maintenance

Wood burning fireplaces are very popular because they offer natural warmth. This kind of fireplace stove needs some maintenance and upkeep. The chimney, flue, and stove are all potential sources of house fires if not cleaned and maintained regularly. These wooden fireplaces are also an excellent source of heat when power is out, particularly in winter when snowstorms can cause branches of trees to fall and knock down under-hanging power lines.

By using a wood stove to heat your home, you'll be able to reduce your carbon footprint as compared to other fossil sources of fuel like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are made to meet EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means that they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more well-seasoned the wood is, the more efficient it will be, so you'll burn less of it to get the same amount of heat.

These fireplaces require some maintenance and care, including ensuring they are positioned away from burning materials and a screening is in place. Cleaning the grate of debris and ash will allow airflow and will stop the fire from dying quickly. It will also help keep your home clean. It is important to have your stove and chimney swept at least twice per year to prevent creosote accumulation that could create a fire hazard or clog and hinder ventilation.

It can take a while for a new homeowner to learn how to light, ignite and maintain a continuous fire in the fireplace. But, once you've mastered the art of building and maintaining the fire in your wood stove, it can be a source of enduring enjoyment that provides heat and warmth for your home every year.
