How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

Wood stoves, in contrast to traditional open fireplaces, are designed to use wood for combustion. This allows them to meet stricter emission standards.

Wood burning stoves are renowned for their warm, yellow flames that dance, crackling sound and that innate sense of warmth. The smoke produced is filled with harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

The amount of moisture in wood is one of the main factors that determines how efficient 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 some cases, two years. The more dry the wood and the more efficient it is to burn. This means less smoke and less harmful emissions.

Another benefit of a wood-burning stove is that it's an eco-friendly source of fuel, which is excellent for the environment. When you purchase locally-sourced wood, you can also help to promote the active management and conservation of forests. This is beneficial for wildlife.

The only thing that a wood burning stove requires in terms maintenance is to regularly take away and get rid of the ash. It can be somewhat of a hassle, but it is worth it to get the best heat out of every log. Furthermore, if you wait 2-3 days for the ashes to fully cool, they can be reused to make an eco-friendly and non-toxic ice melt. They can be used to polish jewelry or absorb smells.

A wood burner fireplace is a truly timeless classic. Although they're not as popular than gas fires but there's no denying the charm and enthralling sound of a roaring fire.

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create very little pollutant if they are maintained properly and used with dry, seasoned firewood. When they are not properly maintained or when they make use of wood that is not of high quality the smoke produced is a result of fine particles, also known as particulate pollutants that can cause irritation to the lung organs and other body organs. Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants such as benzene and formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also in the. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation to the lungs and cause asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and lung irritation. It may also cause heart disease, cancer or premature death.

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

Since the wood is sourced locally this decreases the amount of pollution emitted during transportation. It is essential to select hardwoods that are well-seasoned and of top quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, like 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 much more stringent than previous emissions limits.

To prevent a build-up of exhaust within your home, all wood-burning stoves should be vented fully to the outside. By keeping the flames in the vicinity of the logs, and ensuring you make use of dry, seasoned wood, all of our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves are capable of producing very clear exhaust and have particulate levels that are 60% or more below the DEFRA limit.

A wood-burning stove with a catalytic converter could be the most efficient low carbon heating solution. These units ignite the gases and particulates that were ignited during the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then transported through a catalytic combustion unit for a final and third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels well below the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the highest efficiency that is achievable. This results in the release of very small particles into air when burning wood. The stove's air management system regulates the intake and venting of gases, ensuring the combustion process takes place in a closed, controlled atmosphere. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximize heat output and minimize emissions.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also referred to as particle pollution, is a result of wood that is not properly burned can cause respiratory issues, such as wheezing and coughing, and can contribute to heart disease and stroke, diabetes and other serious conditions. Wood burning is also a contributor to poor air quality in cities.

The smoke that is emitted from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutants like 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 and harm, and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate the surfaces of your home, and can give a gritty feel to rooms.

It is essential to use only high-quality, seasoned and dried firewood when using your fireplace with a wood burner. Hardwoods like oak beech, ash and are the best for heating. Hardwoods are incredibly dense and have a more BTU than softwoods. They also have more heat.

Using a wood burner for heating will reduce your carbon footprint significantly in comparison to other fossil fuel sources like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts have been designed to meet EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means that they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more well-seasoned wood that you use the more efficient the stove will be. You'll require less wood to get the same heat.

These fireplaces require some upkeep and attention, including making sure they are not in close proximity to burning materials and a screening is in place. Keeping the grate clear of debris and ash will aid in the flow of air, which will prevent the fire from dying too quickly. Also, it will keep your indoors clean. It is important to have your chimney and stove cleaned at least twice a year to prevent the accumulation of creosote which could cause a fire hazard or clog and hinder ventilation.
