This means lesser smoke and fewer harmful emissions.

Another benefit of a wood burning stove is that it's a low carbon source of fuel, which is excellent for the environment. If you buy locally-sourced wood, you are also helping to support the active conservation and management of forests. This is beneficial for wildlife.

When properly maintained, wood-burning fireplaces and stoves emit little or no pollution when they are used with dry and seasoned wood. However, if they're not well maintained or made of poor quality wood the smoke that is produced by them contains fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can irritate the lungs and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation of the lung and cause asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and lung irritation. It can also lead to cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people are worried that wood-burning stoves can contribute to climate change However, this isn't true. Burning wood is a carbon-neutral energy source. Throughout the lifetime of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when it is burnt, the absorbed carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

As the wood is sourced locally, it reduces the amount of pollutants released in the process of transportation. It is also essential to select top quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will give a longer and more even burn than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, like the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit less carbon dioxide than older stoves. They are certified to meet 2020 EPA standards that are significantly more stringent than the earlier emission limits.

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

A wood-burning stove with an integrated unit or catalytic converter can provide the most efficient low carbon solution for heating. These units ignite the gases and particulates that were ignited during the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are pumped through a catalytic combustion unit for a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels well below the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the best efficiency possible. This results in a minimum amount of particles emitted into the atmosphere when burning wood. The stove's air management system regulates the intake and venting of gases, ensuring the combustion process occurs in a sealed, controlled atmosphere. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximize heat output and minimize emissions.

This means your chimney and the 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 wheezing and coughing and can contribute to the development of heart diseases, stroke, diabetes and other serious health problems. Air pollution from wood burning is also an element that contributes to poor urban air quality.

The smoke that is emitted 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 be absorbed into the lungs and other organs, causing discomfort and harm, and even death. Airborne dust can also damage surfaces in your home, giving them a gritty feeling.

It is essential to use only good quality, seasoned and dried firewood for your wood burner fireplace suites. Hardwoods such as oak beech, ash, and ash are the best choice for heating. Hardwoods have a higher density and BTU content. They also offer more heat than softwoods.

You should also determine if your local authority has any regulations regarding wood burning. They could include rules for nuisance or odor and visible emissions or the opacity limit for smoke.

It is crucial to keep the glass of a wood stove that has glass fronts free of grime and deposits. This can be done with a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray. Alternately, you can mix bicarbonate of a soda with a bit of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is also important for your chimney and stove. Regular chimney cleanings are required to eliminate creosote, and to ensure that the flue is working properly. It is also important to mark the dates for periodic inspections on your calendar. This will help you to avoid costly repairs and extend your wood burner's life.

Wood burning fireplaces are very popular because they offer natural warmth. However, this kind of fire requires some care and maintenance. The chimney, flue and stove are all potential sources of house fires, if they're not cleaned and maintained regularly. These fireplaces are also a great source of heat when the power goes out, especially during winter when snowstorms can cause branches of trees to fall and knock down under-hanging power lines.

If you use 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, inserts, and fireplaces are built to conform to 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 as well and you'll use less to generate the same amount of heat.

The fireplaces require some care and maintenance. They should be placed away from the combustible materials and have a screen. Making sure the grate is free of ash and debris will allow airflow, which will prevent the fire from dying too quickly and keep your home clean. It is recommended that your chimney and stove swept at least twice per year to avoid creosote accumulation which could be a dangerous fire hazard and a clog that can restrict the flow of air.

It can take a while for homeowners who are new to the area to learn how to light, ignite and maintain a continuous fire in the fireplace. Once you've mastered the art of lighting, your wood stove will become an ideal source of warmth and comfort within your home.
