This means lesser smoke and fewer harmful emissions.

Another advantage of a wood-burning stove is that it's an eco-friendly source of fuel, which is great for the environment. If you buy locally-sourced wood, you also help to promote the active conservation and management of forests. This is great for wildlife.

If properly maintained wood-burning stoves and fireplaces wood emit very little pollutant when they are used with dry and seasoned firewood. However, when they are not well maintained or used with poor quality wood, the smoke produced by them is contaminated with fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can cause irritation to the lung and other organs. Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also in the. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation of the lung and trigger asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and irritation of the lungs. It could also cause heart disease, cancer or premature death.

Some people worry that using a wood-burning stove can cause climate change however this isn't necessarily the case. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its lifetime. When burned the carbon dioxide is released into the air.

As the wood is sourced locally, this reduces the amount of pollution emitted when it is transported. It is also important to select high-quality, seasoned hardwoods as these will give an extended and even burning time than softwoods.

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

To avoid the buildup of exhaust inside your home, all wood burning stoves should be vented to the outside. By keeping the flames in the vicinity of the logs and making sure you make use of dry, seasoned wood, all our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves can produce very clear exhaust. They also have particulate levels that are 60% or more below the DEFRA limit.

A wood-burning stove equipped with a catalytic converter is the most efficient low carbon solution for heating. These units ignite the particulates and gases from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then funnel the remaining particulates and gasses through a catalytic combustion combustor for a third and final combustion, further decreasing emissions to levels well below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the greatest efficiency that is possible. This results in the emission of very small particles into air when burning wood. The stove's air management system regulates the intake and venting of gases, making sure that the combustion process occurs in a sealed, controlled atmosphere. It also regulates flame height to maximise heat output and minimise emissions.

This means that your chimney as well as the surrounding area will be a lot cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also called particle pollution) caused by incomplete combustion of wood causes respiratory problems such as wheezing and coughing in people and contributes to the development of heart diseases, stroke, diabetes and other serious health issues. The smoke caused by wood burning is a contributory factor in 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, injury, and even death. Airborne dust can also damage surfaces in your home with a smudge-like feel.

It is essential to use only top quality, seasoned, and dried firewood when using your freestanding fireplace with a wood burner. Hardwoods like oak beech, ash and are the best choice for heating. Hardwoods are dense and BTU content, and they offer more heat than softwoods.

It is also important to determine if your local authority has any regulations regarding wood burning. These rules could include rules regarding odors and nuisances and visible smoke emissions or smoke opacity restrictions.

If you have a wood burner with glass doors, it's important to keep the glass clean of deposits and grime. This can be done with dry cloths or oven cleaner spray. Alternatively, you can mix bicarbonate of a soda with a small amount of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is also important for your stove and chimney. This includes regular chimney cleanings that remove creosote as well as ensure proper operation of the flue.

Using a wood burner to heat your home can reduce your carbon footprint substantially compared to other fossil fuel sources, such as gas. modern fireplace wood stoves and inserts have been designed to conform to EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means that they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more well-seasoned the wood is the more efficient it will be as well, so you'll burn less of it to produce the same amount of heat.

The fireplaces need some attention and maintenance. They should be placed away from combustible material and have a screen. Air flow will be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and debris. This will keep the fire burning longer and your home in good order. It is recommended that your stove and chimney cleaned every year at least two times to avoid creosote accumulation which could create a fire hazard and a blockage that can hinder circulation.
