How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

Wood stoves, unlike traditional open fireplaces, are designed to burn wood. This allows them to meet tighter emissions regulations.

Wood burning stoves create glowing yellow flames that dance and warm crackling sounds. They also give an incredibly warm feeling. The smoke that is produced is contaminated by air pollutants such as formaldehyde and benzene as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

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

The amount of moisture in firewood is an important factor that determines how efficient a stove that burns wood is. This is why we recommend only using seasoned wood that has been dried for a minimum of one year, and often two years. The more dry the wood, the better it burns. This means less smoke, and less harmful emissions.

A wood burning stove also offers the advantage of being an eco-friendly fuel source which is beneficial to the environment. Additionally, by purchasing locally sourced firewood you are helping to support the active management of woodlands which is a wonderful thing for wildlife.

The only thing a wood burning stove requires in terms maintenance is to remove and get rid of ash. This can be a bit of a hassle, but it is worth it to ensure you get the most heat from each log. If you allow the ashes to completely cool and then, they can be used as a non-toxic, environmentally friendly melting ice. They can also be used to polish jewellery or absorb smells.

Low Carbon

Wood burners that burn efficiently and cleanly are the best way to save money while also keeping your home warm. They also support local woodland management. This is a great method to support the wildlife that lives in your neighborhood.

Wood-burning stoves and bio ethanol fireplaces produce very little pollutant if they are properly maintained and operated with dry, seasoned firewood. If they are not maintained properly or make use of wood that is not of high quality the smoke produced is a result of fine particles, often referred to as particulate pollutants that can cause irritation to the lungs and other body organs. It also contains carbon monoxide and harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling these types of air pollution can cause irritation of the lungs wheezing, coughing and asthma attacks and may even lead to serious health issues like cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people are concerned that wood-burning stoves contribute to climate change However, this isn't true. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its lifetime. When it is burned, the carbon is released into the atmosphere.

As the wood is sourced locally, it reduces the amount of pollution that is released when it is transported. It is essential to select hardwoods that are seasoned and of top quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those made by Charlton & Jenrick) have much lower emissions than older stoves. They are certified to meet 2020 EPA standards that are significantly more stringent than the previous emission limits.

All wood burning stoves should be fully vented to the outside of your property to ensure they do not create a build-up of exhaust in your house. All our current DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can create extremely clear exhaust by keeping the flames in the vicinity of the wood logs and by using dry well-seasoned, clean firewood.

A wood burning stove with a catalytic converter or hybrid unit could provide the most efficient low-carbon option for heating. These units ignite the gasses and particulates from the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then funnel the remaining gasses and particulates through a catalytic combustor to create an additional and final combustion, further reducing emissions to a level much lower than the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest efficiency possible. This results in minimal dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood. The stove's air management system regulates the intake and exhausting of gases, making sure that the combustion process is conducted in a sealed, controlled atmosphere. It also regulates flame height to maximize the output of heat and reduce emissions.

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 causes respiratory problems such as wheezing and coughing and can contribute to the development of heart disease as well as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health conditions. The smoke caused by wood burning is an important factor in poor urban air quality.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can be absorbed into the lungs, as well as other organs causing discomfort, harm, and even death. Dust particles from the air can also damage the surfaces in your home, and can give the impression of a rough surface to rooms.

It is essential to use only high-quality, seasoned and dried firewood when using your fireplace with a wood burner. The most efficient woods for heating are hardwoods, such as oak, ash and beech. Hardwoods are dense and BTU content. They also offer more heat than softwoods.

You should also check whether your local authority has any regulations regarding wood burning. These may include nuisance/odor rules and visible emissions or smoke opacity limits.

It is essential to keep the glass of a wood stove that has glass fronts free of dirt and deposits. This can be done with a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray. Alternatively, you can add bicarbonate of soda mixed with a bit of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is also important for your chimney and stove. This includes regular chimney cleanings to eliminate creosote and ensure the proper functioning of your flue. Be sure to note dates for periodic inspections in your calendar, since this will help you avoid costly repairs and extend the longevity of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Many people prefer installing wood burning fireplaces due to the natural warmth they create. This type of fireplace requires some maintenance and upkeep. The chimney, flue and stove are all possible sources of house fires, if they're not maintained and cleaned regularly. Fireplaces can also provide heat in the event of a power outage, especially during winter storms where tree branches can fall and power lines may be knocked down.

If you use a wood stove to heat your home, you can reduce your carbon footprint compared to other fossil sources of energy like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are made to comply with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means that they produce very low emissions. The more seasoned the wood is, the more efficient it will be and you'll use less of it to produce the same amount of heat.

The fireplaces need some maintenance and offers care. They should be kept away from combustible material and have a screen in place. Keeping the grate clear of ash and debris will aid in the flow of air, which will prevent the fire from dying too quickly and keep your indoors clean. You should have your chimney and stove swept at least twice per year to avoid creosote accumulation, which can cause an fire hazard or blockage and hinder ventilation.

It can take a while for homeowners who are new to the area to learn to ignite, light and maintain a steady fire in the fireplace. Once you've learned the art of creating and maintaining an open flame in your wood burner, it will be a source of constant enjoyment that provides heat and warmth for your home all year long.
