The amount of moisture in firewood is an important factor that determines the efficiency of a wood-burning stove is. This is the reason we suggest only using 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 benefit of a wood burning stove is that it's a low carbon source of fuel, which is great for the environment. By purchasing locally sourced wood, you can also help to contribute to the active conservation and management of woodlands. This is beneficial for wildlife.

In terms of maintenance concerned, the only requirement for a wood stove is to frequently take out and dispose of the ash. It's quite a challenge however it is worth it to get the most heat out of every log.

Low Carbon

Wood burners that are efficient and clean are one of the best ways to save the cost of logs while keeping your home warm. They also support local woodland management. This is an excellent option to help wildlife in your area.

Wood-burning stoves and cheap fireplaces produce very little pollutant if they are properly maintained and used with dry, seasoned firewood. However, when they are not maintained properly or are used with poor quality wood, the smoke produced by them can contain fine particles (known as particulate pollution) which can cause irritation to the lung and other organs. Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic like formaldehyde and benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also found in. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation of the lung and trigger asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and lung irritation. It can also lead to heart disease, cancer or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood-burning stove will contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily the case. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its life. After burning, the carbon is released into the atmosphere.

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

Modern wood stoves, like the ones made by Charlton & Jenrick, emit less carbon dioxide than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet the 2020 EPA standards, which are significantly more stringent than the previous emission limits.

All wood-burning stoves must be fully vented to the outside of your home to ensure that they don't cause a build-up of exhaust within your home. By keeping the flames away from the logs and ensuring that 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 60 percent or less below the DEFRA limit.

A wood-burning stove that has a catalytic converter or hybrid unit can offer the ultimate low-carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite the gasses and particulates from the initial combustion at a later stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gasses and particulates are pumped through a catalytic combustion unit to create a final and third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels far below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest efficiency. This results in the release of very small particles into air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and ventilation of gases to ensure that the combustion process occurs in a controlled and sealed 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 much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) from incompletely combusted wood causes respiratory issues like wheezing and coughing and can lead to the development of heart diseases as well as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health conditions. The smoke from wood burning is also an important factor in poor air quality in urban areas.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate pollution as well as hazardous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can get into the lungs, as well as other organs causing discomfort, injury, and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate surfaces in your home with a smudge-like feeling.

It is important to select top quality, seasoned, and dried firewood for your fireplace with a wood burner. Hardwoods like oak, ash, and beech are the best for heating. Hardwoods have a high density and BTU content. They also provide more heat than softwoods.

Check with your local authorities to see whether they have any regulations concerning wood burning. These rules could include rules regarding odors or nuisances, as well as visible emissions or smoke opacity limits.

It is crucial to keep the glass of a wood stove that has glass fronts free of grime and deposits. This can be done using a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray. You can also add bicarbonate soda mixed with water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is also important for your stove and chimney. Regular chimney cleaning is required to remove creosote, and also to ensure that the flue is operating properly. It is also important to mark the dates of your periodic inspections on your calendar. This will help you to avoid costly repairs and prolong the life of your wood stove.

Low Maintenance

Many people prefer installing wood-burning fireplaces due to the warmth and natural beauty they provide. 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 are also an excellent source of warmth when the power goes out, especially during winter when snow storms can cause tree branches to fall and knock down under-hanging power lines.

Using a wood stove for heating will reduce your carbon footprint substantially when compared to other fossil fuel sources such as gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts and marble fireplaces are built to conform to EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency), which means they emit very little emissions. The more well-seasoned wood that you use, the more efficient the stove will be. You'll need less wood to achieve the same heat.

These fireplaces require some maintenance and care, including ensuring they are placed away from burning materials and a screening is in place. Air flow will be improved by keeping the grate clear of ash and other debris. This will help keep the fire burning longer and your home in good order. You should have your chimney and stove swept at least twice per year to prevent the build-up of creosote which could create an extremely dangerous fire hazard as well as a blockage that can hinder the flow of air.

It can take a while for homeowners who are new to the area to learn how to light, ignite and maintain a constant fire in the fireplace. Once you've learned the art of burning, your wood burner will be an ideal source of warmth and comfort within your home.

Wood burning fireplaces have been in use in some form or another for more than 500 years and they've regained popularity due to their efficiency as well as their sustainability and natural warmth and scent of real wood.
