It is vital to get the most out of your wood burner particularly with the increasing energy costs. The good thing is that it's now easier than ever before to do!

The moisture content of wood is one of the main factors that determines how efficient a stove that burns wood is. We recommend using only seasoned wood that has been dried for at least one year and often two years. The drier the wood the more efficiently it burns, which results in less smoke and harmful emissions.

Another great benefit of a wood-burning stove is that it's an eco-friendly source of fuel, which is fantastic for the environment. If you buy locally-sourced wood, you also help to support the active conservation and management of woodlands. This is great for wildlife.

Wood-burning stoves and fireplaces produce minimal pollution when they are properly maintained and used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. However, when they are not maintained properly or are made of poor quality wood the smoke that is produced by them is contaminated with fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can cause irritation to the lung and other organs. Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic such as benzene and formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also present. Inhaling this kind of air pollution may cause irritation to the lung as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks. It can even cause serious health issues like cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people are worried that wood-burning stoves will cause climate change however this isn't true. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its lifetime. When burned the carbon dioxide is released into the air.

The wood is local, which decreases the amount of pollution emitted in the transportation process. It is crucial to choose hardwoods that have been seasoned and of high quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, such as the ones 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 strict than previous emissions limits.

To avoid the buildup of exhaust inside your home, all wood burning stoves must be vented completely to the outside. All our current DEFRA-exempt and clean-burn stoves produce very clear exhaust by keeping the flames in the vicinity of the wood logs and using dry, seasoned firewood.

A wood-burning stove with a hybrid unit or catalytic converter could be the best low carbon solution for heating. These units re-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 transported through a catalytic combustion unit for a final third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels far below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the best efficiency that is achievable. This results in the emission of very small particles into air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and exhaust of gases, ensuring that the combustion process takes place in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates flame height to maximise heat output and minimize emissions.

This means that your chimney as well as the surrounding area will be a lot cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also referred to as particle pollution, is a result of incompletely burned wood can trigger respiratory issues, like coughing and wheezing. It can also contribute to heart diseases as well as stroke, diabetes and other serious conditions. Air pollution from wood burning is also an important factor in poor urban air quality.

Smoke from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollutants and harmful air pollutants such as carbon monoxide, as well as other dangerous air pollutants like nitrogen oxides as well as 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 contaminate the surfaces of your home, and can give a gritty feel to rooms.

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

Check with your local authority to determine whether they have any regulations concerning wood burning. These could include nuisance/odor regulations and visible emissions, or the opacity limit for smoke.

It is important to keep the glass of a wood stove that has an open front that is free of grime and deposits. This can be done using a dry cloth or electric firesuite oven cleaner spray. Alternatively, you can mix bicarbonate of a soda with a small amount of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance of your stove and chimney is also vital. This includes regular chimney cleanings that remove creosote as well as ensure proper operation of the flue.

Low Maintenance

Many people choose to install wood burning fireplaces due to the natural warmth they generate. This type of fireplace needs some maintenance and upkeep. The chimney, flue, and stove can all be the cause of house fires, if they're not maintained and cleaned regularly. Fireplaces can also provide heat in the event of a power outage, particularly during winter storms when tree branches can fall and power lines can be damaged.

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

The wooden fireplaces need some maintenance and care. They should be placed away from materials that ignite and have a screen in place. Making sure the grate is free of debris and ash will help air flow and prevent the fire from dying too quickly. Also, it will keep your home clean. It is recommended that your chimney and stove swept at least twice per year to avoid creosote accumulation, which can be a dangerous fire hazard and obstructions that could hinder circulation.
