When properly maintained, wood-burning fireplaces and stoves emit very little pollution when they are used with dry and seasoned firewood. However, when they are not maintained properly or are using wood of poor quality 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 harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling this kind of air pollution may cause irritation of the lungs wheezing, coughing and asthma attacks. It could even lead to serious health issues such as cancer, heart disease, or premature death.

Many people are concerned that using a wood-burning stove will contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. In the course of the life of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burnt, the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

Since the wood is sourced locally, this reduces the amount of pollution that is released during transportation. It is also important to use high quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will give an extended and more consistent burn than softwoods.

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

A wood-burning stove that has an integrated unit or catalytic converter could be the ultimate low carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite gasses and particles that were ignited during the initial combustion in a second phase by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustor to create a third and final combustion, the reduction of emissions to levels much lower than the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest efficiency. This results in a minimum amount of particles emitted into the atmosphere when burning wood. The stove's air management system controls the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process is conducted in a sealed, controlled environment. It also regulates the flame's height to reduce emissions and maximize heat output.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also known as particle pollution, resulting from wood that is not properly burned can cause respiratory issues, such as coughing and wheezing. It can also contribute to heart diseases and stroke, diabetes and other serious conditions. Wood burning can also contribute to poor air quality in cities.

Smoke from poorly combusted timber has fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutant such as carbon monoxide as well as other harmful air pollutants like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene, and formaldehyde. These particles can be absorbed into the lungs, as well as other organs, causing discomfort and damage and even death. Airborne dust can also harm the surfaces in your home, and can give the impression of a rough surface to rooms.

It is important to select high-quality, seasoned and dried firewood when using your wood burner fireplace. Hardwoods such as oak beech, ash, and ash are the best for heating. Hardwoods are dense and have a higher BTU than softwoods. They also provide more heat.

The more well-seasoned wood that you use the more efficient the stove will be. You'll need less wood to generate the same heat.

Fireplaces require some care and maintenance. They must be kept clear of combustible material and have a screen installed. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and debris. This will help keep the ethanol fire burning longer and your home tidy.
