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. Furthermore, by buying locally sourced firewood you are helping to promote the active management of forests which is a wonderful aspect for wildlife.

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

Some people fear that using a wood burning stove will contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily the case. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. The wood absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its life. After burning carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

The wood is local, which decreases the amount pollution that is released during transportation. It is crucial to choose hardwoods that have been seasoned and of top quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, including the ones made by Charlton & Jenrick, emit significantly less pollutant than older stoves. They are certified to meet 2020 EPA standards, which are considerably more strict than previous emission limits.

All wood burning stoves should be fully vented to the outside of your home to ensure that they don't create a haze of exhaust inside your home. By keeping the flames away from the logs and ensuring that you make use of dry, seasoned wood, all our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves produce very clear exhaust and have particulate levels 60 or more lower than the DEFRA limit.

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

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the best efficiency possible. This results in a minimum amount of emissions of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and exhaust of gases to ensure the combustion process occurs in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the flame height to minimise emissions and maximise heat output.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also referred to as particle pollution, is a result of incompletely burned wood can trigger respiratory issues, like coughing and wheezing. It can also contribute to heart diseases as well as stroke, diabetes and other serious illnesses. Air pollution from wood combustion is an element that contributes to poor urban air quality.

The smoke that is emitted from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate matter and dangerous air pollutants such as carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can penetrate deep into the lungs, as well as other organs causing discomfort, harm, and even death. Dust particles from the air can also damage the surfaces of your home and create an unpleasant sludge-like feel to rooms.

When using your wood-burning fireplace it is essential to use firewood of the highest quality that has been seasoned and dried. Hardwoods like oak beech, ash, and ash are the most efficient for heating. Hardwoods have a high density and BTU content and they offer more heat than softwoods.

Check with your local authority to see whether they have rules concerning wood burning. These could include nuisance/odor regulations and visible emissions or opacity limits for smoke.

If you have a wood stove with glass doors, it's important to keep the glass free of deposits and grime. You can use a dry towel or oven cleaner spray to accomplish this. Alternately, you can mix bicarbonate of a soda with a bit of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is crucial for your stove and chimney. Regular chimney cleanings are required to remove creosote, and to ensure that the flue is operating properly.

These fireplaces are also an excellent source of heat when the power goes out, particularly in winter when snowstorms can cause branches of trees to fall and knock down under-hanging power lines.

Utilizing a wood burner to heat your home can reduce your carbon footprint considerably in comparison to other fossil fuel sources such as gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts and fireplaces are constructed to meet EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency) which means that they emit very little emissions. The more well-seasoned wood you use, the more efficient the stove will be. You'll need less wood to achieve the same heat.

The fireplaces need some maintenance and care. They should be placed away from combustible material and have a screen in place. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and debris. This will keep the fire burning longer and your home clean. You should have your chimney and stove swept at least two times per year to prevent the accumulation of creosote that could create a fire hazard or clog and limit the airflow.
