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 good for the environment. When you purchase locally-sourced wood, you are also helping to contribute to the active management and conservation of woodlands. This is beneficial for wildlife.

In terms of maintenance concerned, the primary requirement of a wood burner is to frequently scoop up and dispose of the ash. It can be quite a challenge, but it is worth it to get the maximum heat from every log. Additionally, if you wait 2-3 days for the ashes to completely cool and then reuse them as an eco-friendly and non-toxic ice melt. They can also be used to polish jewellery and absorb odors.

Wood-burning stoves and cheap fireplaces - related - produce very little pollutant if they are maintained properly and used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. If they aren't maintained properly or use wood of poor quality, the smoke that is produced contains fine particles commonly referred to as particulate pollution that can cause irritation to the lungs and other organs of the body. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation to the lungs and lead to asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and lung irritation. It may also cause cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people are concerned that wood-burning stoves can cause climate change however this isn't true. Wood burning is a carbon neutral energy source. Throughout the lifetime of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when it is burned, the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

As the wood is sourced locally, this reduces the amount of pollution emitted when it is transported. It is also important to select top quality well-seasoned hardwoods, as they will give a longer and more even burn than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, such as those manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit significantly less pollutant than older stoves. They have been tested and 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 fully to the outside. All our current DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can create clear exhaust when keeping the flames at a distance from the logs of wood and using dry, seasoned firewood.

A wood burning stove with a catalytic converter or a hybrid unit could provide the most efficient low-carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite gasses and particles that were ignited during the initial combustion in a second phase by mixing them superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then transported through a catalytic combustion unit to create a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels far below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest efficiency possible. This means that there are fewer particles emitted into the atmosphere when burning wood. The stove's air management system controls the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring the combustion process occurs in a closed, controlled environment. It also regulates flame height to maximise heat output and minimise emissions.

This means that your chimney and surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) from wood that is not fully combusted can cause respiratory problems like wheezing and coughing and can lead to the development of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other serious health problems. Wood burning can also contribute to poor air quality in cities.

Smoke from poorly burned timber is a source of fine particulate pollutants as well as dangerous air pollutants like carbon monoxide, as well as other dangerous air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can get into the lungs and other organs causing discomfort, injury, and even death. Airborne dust can also harm the surfaces of your home, and can give a gritty feel to rooms.

It is essential to use only top quality, seasoned, and dried firewood when you use your wood burner fireplace. The most valuable woods for heating are hardwoods such as oak, ash and beech. Hardwoods are extremely dense and have higher BTU than softwoods. They also have more heat.

Contact your local authority to see whether they have rules regarding wood burning. These may include nuisance/odor rules and visible emissions or the opacity limit for smoke.

It is essential to keep the glass of a wood stove that has glass fronts free of grime and deposits. You can use a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray to accomplish this. Alternately, you can add bicarbonate of soda with a little water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is also important for your chimney and stove. Regular chimney cleaning is required to get rid of creosote and ensure that the flue is working properly. Be sure to note dates for regular inspections in your calendar, since this will allow you to avoid costly repairs and extend the lifespan of your wood stove.

Low Maintenance

Wood burning fireplaces are popular due to their natural warmth. This type of fireplace needs some maintenance and upkeep. The chimney, flue, and stove are all possible sources of house fires if not cleaned and maintained regularly. Fireplaces can also be an excellent source of heat when power is out, especially in winter when snowstorms can cause tree branches to fall and knock down under-hanging power lines.

When you use a wood stove to heat your home, you'll be able to reduce your carbon footprint when compared to other fossil fuel sources like gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts, and fireplaces are designed to meet EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency) which means they produce very little emissions. The more well-seasoned wood that you use the more efficient the stove will be. You'll require less wood to achieve the same heat.

Fireplaces require some maintenance and care. They must be kept clear of materials that ignite and have a screen in place. Keeping the grate clear of debris and ash will allow airflow and will stop the ethanol fire from dying quickly. It will also help keep your home clean. You should have your stove and chimney cleaned at least twice per year to prevent the build-up of creosote which could create a fire hazard and obstructions that could hinder the flow of air.

A wood-burning stove needs to be maintained on a regular basis and it could take some time for a beginner homeowner to learn how to ignite, light, and maintain a steady fire in the fireplace.
