The drier the wood the more efficiently it burns which results in less smoke and harmful emissions.

A wood burning stove also is an environmentally friendly fuel source, which is great for the environment. Additionally, by purchasing locally-sourced firewood, you're helping to support the active management of forests which is a wonderful thing for wildlife.

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

Many are concerned that wood-burning stoves contribute to climate change, but this isn't necessarily true. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. The wood absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its life. When burned carbon dioxide is released into the air.

The wood is sourced locally, which reduces the amount of pollution produced during the transport process. It is also important to use high quality well-seasoned hardwoods, as they will give a longer and more even burning time than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, including the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit significantly less pollutant than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet the 2020 EPA standards, which are significantly more stringent than the previous emission limits.

To prevent a build-up of exhaust in your home, all wood-burning stoves should be vented to the outside. By keeping flames above the logs and ensuring that you make use of dry, seasoned wood, all our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves are capable of producing very clear exhaust and have particle levels of 60 or more lower than the DEFRA limit.

A wood-burning stove with an integrated unit or catalytic converter can provide the ultimate low carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite gases and particles from the initial burning 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 third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels well below the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the highest efficiency that is possible. This means that there are fewer dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and exhaust of gases to ensure the combustion process takes place in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates flame height to maximise the output of heat and reduce emissions.

This means that your chimney and surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also called particle pollution) from wood that is not fully combusted causes respiratory issues like wheezing and coughing and contributes to the development of heart disease as well as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health issues. The air pollution resulting from wood burning is also a contributory factor in poor urban air quality.

Smoke from poorly combusted timber is a source of fine particulate pollutants as well as dangerous air pollutants like carbon monoxide as well as other harmful air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene, and formaldehyde. These particles can penetrate deep into the lung and other organs which can cause discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate the surfaces of your home, and can give a gritty feel to rooms.

When using your wood-burning fireplace it is essential to use high-quality firewood that has been seasoned and dried. Hardwoods like oak beech, ash, and ash are the best for heating. Hardwoods are dense and have a more BTU than softwoods. They also have more heat.

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 important to keep the glass of a stove with glass fronts free of grime and deposits. You can make use of a dry towel or oven cleaner spray for this. You can also add bicarbonate soda mixed with water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is also important for your stove and chimney. 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 allow you to avoid costly repairs and extend the lifespan of your wood stove.

Low Maintenance

Many people choose to install wood-burning fireplaces due to the natural warmth they generate. However, this kind of fire requires some care and maintenance. The chimney, flue, and stove can all be the cause of house fires if they are not maintained and cleaned regularly. Fireplaces can also provide heat in the event of a power outage, particularly during winter storms where tree branches can fall and power lines can be damaged.

Using a wood stove for heating will reduce your carbon footprint significantly compared to other fossil fuel sources such as gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are made to conform to EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means they emit very little carbon dioxide. 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.

These marble fireplaces require some maintenance and care, including ensuring they are not in close proximity to combustible materials and a screen is installed. Keeping the grate clear of debris and ash will aid in the flow of air, which will prevent the fire from dying out too quickly. Also, it will keep your home clean. It is important to have your chimney and stove swept at least twice a year to avoid creosote accumulation, which can cause fire hazards or blockage and restrict ventilation.
