The smoke that is produced contains toxic air pollutants like benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves made of wood are not just gorgeous, but they are also extremely efficient. A top-quality wood stove can have an Ecodesign rating of up to 77 percent. It is essential to get the most out of your log stove, especially with rising energy costs. The good news is it's easier than ever to do!

The moisture content of firewood is an important factor that determines the efficiency of a wood-burning stove is. We recommend using only well-seasoned wood that has been dried over a period of at least one year, and in many cases two years. The more dry the wood is, the better it burns. This results in lesser smoke and fewer harmful emissions.

A wood burning stove also is a low-carbon fuel source, which is good for the environment. In addition, by buying locally-sourced firewood, you are helping to promote the active management of forests, which is a great option for wildlife.

The only thing a wood burning stove requires in terms maintenance is that you regularly take away and dispose of the ash. It can be somewhat of a hassle, but it is worth it to get the maximum heat from every log. If you allow the ashes to cool completely, they can also be used as a non-toxic, eco-friendly melt of ice. They can also be used to polish jewellery and absorb the odors.

Fireplaces and wood-burning stoves cause very little pollution if they are maintained properly and operated with dry, seasoned firewood. However, if they are not maintained well or used with poor quality wood the smoke generated by them is contaminated with fine particles (known as particulate pollution) which can cause irritation to the lung and other organs. Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde and benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also present. Inhaling these types of air pollution can cause irritation to the lung, coughing, wheezing and asthma attacks. It can even lead to serious health issues like heart disease, cancer, or premature death.

Some people are worried that wood-burning stoves will cause climate change however this isn't true. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its lifespan. When it is burned carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

Since the wood is sourced locally, this reduces the amount of pollution that is released in the process of transportation. It is also important to select top quality well-seasoned hardwoods, as they will have a longer and more even burn than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, like the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit much less pollution than older stoves. They have been certified to meet 2020 EPA standards which are significantly more strict than earlier 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 within your home. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can create extremely clear exhaust by keeping the flames above the wood logs and using dry and seasoned firewood.

A wood-burning stove that has a hybrid unit or catalytic converter could be the best low carbon heating option. These units re-ignite gasses and particles that were ignited during the initial combustion in a second phase by mixing them superheated air. They then channel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustion combustor for the third and final combustion, further reducing emissions to a level well below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are designed to burn fuel with the best efficiency possible. This results in the release of very small particles into air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and venting of gases to ensure the combustion process is conducted in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates the flame's height to maximize heat output and minimise emissions.

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

The smoke from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can reach deep into the lung and other organs and cause discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate surfaces in your home with a smudge-like feeling.

It is essential to use only good quality, seasoned and dried firewood when you use your white fireplace with a wood burner. Hardwoods such as oak beech, ash and are the best for heating. Hardwoods are dense and have a higher BTU than softwoods. They also provide more heat.

Contact your local authority to determine if they have any rules about wood burning. They could include rules for nuisance or odor and visible emissions or the opacity limit for smoke.

If you have a wood stove with a glass door it is essential to keep the glass clear of deposits and grime. This can be done with dry cloths or oven cleaner spray. You can also add bicarbonate soda and water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is crucial for your chimney and stove. This includes regular chimney cleanings to remove creosote and ensure the proper functioning of the flue. It is also recommended to note the dates of your periodic inspections on your calendar. This will help you avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Wood burning fireplaces are popular because they provide a natural warmth. However, this type of fire requires some care and maintenance. If it is not maintained and cleaned regularly, the chimney, flue, and stove can all be potential sources of fires in your home. They also provide warmth in the event of an electrical outage, especially during winter storms where tree branches can fall and power lines may be ripped down.

When you use a wood stove to heat your home, you can reduce your carbon footprint when compared to other fossil sources of fuel like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are made to meet EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means that they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more seasoned wood you use the more efficient your stove will be. You'll need less wood to get the same amount of heat.

These fireplaces require some maintenance and care, including ensuring they are placed away from combustible materials and a screen is installed. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate clean of ash and other debris. This will help keep the fire burning longer and your home clean. It is recommended that your stove and chimney swept at least once a year to avoid creosote accumulation, which can be an extremely dangerous fire hazard as well as a clog that can restrict circulation.

It could take a while for a new homeowner to learn how to light, ignite and maintain a continuous ethonal fire in the electric fireplace. Once you've mastered the art, your wood burner will be an ideal source of warmth and comfort within your home.
