This results in less smoke and less harmful emissions.

A wood-burning stove also is an environmentally friendly fuel source, which is beneficial to the environment. Additionally, by purchasing locally-sourced firewood, you are aiding in the active management of forests, which is a great thing for wildlife.

As far as maintenance is concerned, the only requirement of a wood burner is to remove and scoop up the ash.

Wood burners that are clean and efficient are among the best ways to save money on logs and keep your home warm. Additionally, they also help to support local woodland management, a excellent way to help the wildlife that lives in your local area.

When properly maintained, wood-burning fireplaces and stoves emit very little pollution when they are used with seasoned and dry firewood. However, if they are not maintained properly or are made of poor quality wood, the smoke produced by them can contain fine particles (known as particulate pollution) which can cause irritation to the lung and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause lung irritation and cause asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and lung irritation. It may also cause heart disease, cancer or premature death.

Some people worry that using a wood-burning stove could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. In the course of the life of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when burned the carbon absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is produced locally, which reduces the amount pollution that is produced during the transport process. It is important to use hardwoods that have been seasoned and of high quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

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

All wood-burning stoves must be fully vented to the outside of your property to ensure that they don't create a build-up of exhaust inside your home. All our current DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can produce very clear exhaust by keeping the flames in the vicinity of the wood logs and using dry well-seasoned, clean firewood.

A wood burning stove with an acatalytic converter or hybrid unit can provide the best low-carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite the gasses and particulates from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gasses and particulates are transferred to a catalytic unit for a final third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels that are below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are designed to burn fuel with the best efficiency that is possible. This results in minimal dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and venting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process is conducted in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the flame's height to minimise emissions and maximise heat output.

This means your chimney and its surroundings will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also called particle pollution) from wood fireplaces that is not fully combusted causes respiratory problems such as coughing and wheezing in people and can lead to the development of heart diseases such as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health issues. The air pollution resulting from wood burning is also an element that contributes to poor urban air quality.

The smoke that is emitted from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate pollution as well as 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 and damage and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate the surfaces of your home and give a gritty feel to rooms.

It's important to use only top quality, seasoned, and dried firewood when you use your wood burner fireplace. The most valuable woods for heating are hardwoods like beech, ash, and oak. Hardwoods are dense and BTU content and they offer more heat than softwoods.

Check with your local authorities to find out whether they have any regulations concerning wood burning. These rules may include rules regarding odors or nuisances and visible emissions or smoke opacity limitations.

If you have a wood burner with glass doors it is important to keep the glass clear of deposits and grime. You can use a dry towel or oven cleaner spray to accomplish this. Alternatively, you can add bicarbonate of soda mixed with a little water to the glass.

Regular maintenance of your chimney and stove is also crucial. This includes regular chimney cleanings that remove creosote and ensure the proper functioning of the flue. You should also mark the dates of periodic inspections on your calendar. This will help you prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your wood stove.

Low Maintenance

Many people opt to install wood burning fireplaces due to the natural warmth they generate. This kind of fireplace requires a bit of maintenance and upkeep. If not maintained and cleaned regularly, the chimney, flue and stove could all be potential sources of fires within your home. Fireplaces are also a great source of heat when power is out, especially during winter when snowstorms can cause branches to fall from trees and rip up power lines.

By using a wood stove to heat your home, you will reduce your carbon footprint compared to other fossil sources of fuel like gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts, and fireplaces are designed to comply with EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency) which means that they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more well-seasoned the wood is and the better it is, the more efficient it will be as well, so you'll burn less to generate the same amount of heat.

These fireplaces require some upkeep and attention, including making sure they are not in close proximity to the ignition source and that a screen is in place. Keeping the grate clear of ash and debris will help air flow, which will prevent the fire from dying too quickly. Also, it will keep your indoors clean. You should have your chimney and stove cleaned at least twice a year to prevent creosote accumulation, which can cause an fire hazard or blockage and limit the airflow.
