This results in less smoke and less harmful emissions.

When properly maintained wood-burning stoves and fireplaces emit little or no pollution when they are used with dry and seasoned firewood. When they are not properly maintained 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, which can irritate lungs and other body organs. It also contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling this type of air pollution could cause irritation of the lungs wheezing, coughing and asthma attacks. It could even cause serious health issues such as heart disease, cancer, or premature death.

Some people are concerned that wood-burning stoves can contribute to climate change, but this isn't necessarily true. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. Through the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burnt, the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

Because the wood is harvested locally, this reduces the amount of pollutants released in the process of transportation. It is essential to select hardwoods that are well-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 have been certified to meet 2020 EPA standards which 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 that they do not create a haze of exhaust inside your home. By keeping the flames in the vicinity of the logs, and ensuring you make use of dry, seasoned wood, all our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves are capable of producing extremely clear exhaust and have particulate levels 60 or more lower than the DEFRA limit.

A wood-burning stove equipped with an integrated unit or catalytic converter can provide the most efficient low carbon heating solution. These units ignite the particulates and gases from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining gasses and particulates through a catalytic combustion combustor for an additional and final combustion, the reduction of emissions to levels that is well below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest efficiency possible. This results in the release of minimal particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and ventilation of gases to ensure that the combustion process takes place in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates the flame height to minimize emissions and increase heat output.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) caused by incomplete combustion of wood causes respiratory problems such as coughing and wheezing in people and can lead to the development of heart disease such as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health issues. Wood burning is also a contributor to poor air quality in cities.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate matter and dangerous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can reach deep into the lungs and other organs, causing damage, discomfort and even death. Dust particles from the air can also cause a hazard to surfaces within your home, giving them a gritty feel.

When using your wood-burning fireplace it is important to use firewood of the highest quality that has been seasoned and dried. The most valuable woods for heating are hardwoods such as beech, oak and ash. Hardwoods are incredibly dense and have a more BTU than softwoods. They also have more heat.

Check with your local authority to find out whether they have any regulations concerning wood burning. These may include rules regarding odors or nuisances, as well as 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. You can also add bicarbonate of soda with a small amount of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is also important for your chimney and stove. Regular chimney cleanings are necessary to eliminate creosote, and to ensure that the flue is working correctly. It is also important to mark the dates of your periodic inspections on your calendar. This will help you avoid costly repairs and prolong your wood burner's life.

Low Maintenance

Many people prefer installing wood burning fireplaces due to the warmth and natural beauty they provide. However, this type of electric fire requires some care and maintenance. The chimney, flue and stove are all potential sources of house fires if not maintained and cleaned regularly. These fireplaces also provide heat in the event of power outage, particularly during winter storms when branches of trees may fall and power lines can be ripped down.

When 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, inserts and fireplaces are constructed to comply with EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency) which means that they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more well-seasoned the wood is, the more efficient it will be and you'll use less of it to produce the same amount of heat.

These fireplaces require some upkeep and attention, such as ensuring they are placed away from burning materials and a screening is in place. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and other debris. This will help keep the ethanol fire burning longer and your home tidy. You should have your chimney and stove cleaned at least twice a year to prevent the accumulation of creosote, which can cause an fire hazard or blockage and restrict ventilation.
