How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner fireplace stove

In contrast to traditional open fireplaces, wood stoves are designed and optimised to burn wood. This allows them to meet stricter emission regulations.

Wood burning stoves create glowing yellow flames that dance and warm crackling sounds. They also give warmth and a warm sensation. However the smoke that it produces is contaminated with carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

With rising energy costs it is crucial to ensure that you're getting the maximum benefits from your log burner - the good news is that this is much easier than ever!

The moisture content of firewood is an important factor that determines how efficient a wood-burning stove is. This is why we suggest only using seasoned wood, which has been dried for at least one year, and more often two years. The more dry the wood more dry, the better it burns. This results in lesser smoke and fewer harmful emissions.

Another advantage of a wood-burning stove is that it's an eco-friendly source of fuel, which is fantastic for the environment. Furthermore, by buying locally-sourced firewood, you are aiding in the active management of forests which is a good thing for wildlife.

This can be a little bit of a hassle but it is worth it to ensure you get the most heat from each log. Additionally when you wait for a couple of days for the ashes to completely cool they can be used as an eco-friendly and non-toxic ice melt. They can also be used to polish jewellery or absorb the odors.

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

Many people are concerned that using a wood burning stove can cause climate change however this isn't necessarily true. Burning wood fireplaces is a carbon-neutral energy source. Through the life of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burnt, the carbon absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

Because the wood is harvested locally this decreases the amount of pollution emitted during transportation. It is also essential to use high quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will give an extended and more consistent burning time than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick) have much lower emissions than older stoves. They are certified to meet 2020 EPA standards, which are considerably more stringent than the earlier emission limits.

All wood burning stoves should be fully vented to the outside of your property to ensure that they do not create a haze of exhaust inside your home. All of our current DEFRA-exempt, clean burn stoves can produce very clear exhaust by keeping the flames above the logs of wood and using dry and seasoned firewood.

A wood burning stove equipped with an acatalytic converter or hybrid unit can offer the ultimate low-carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite the gases and particulates that were ignited during the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then pumped through a catalytic combustion unit for a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels far below the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest efficiency. This results in the release of a small amount of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and venting of gases to ensure the combustion process takes place in a sealed and controlled environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to reduce emissions and maximize heat output.

This means that your chimney and surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also known as particle pollution, resulting from wood that is not properly burned can cause respiratory issues, such as coughing and wheezing. It can also contribute to heart diseases, stroke, diabetes, and other serious ailments. The air pollution resulting from wood combustion is a contributory factor in poor air quality in urban areas.

Smoke from poorly combusted timber contains fine particulate pollutants and harmful air pollutants such as carbon monoxide and other hazardous 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, harm, and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate surfaces within your home and give them a rough feeling.

It is important to select top quality, seasoned, and dried firewood for your wood burner fireplace. The most effective woods for heating are hardwoods, such as beech, oak and ash. Hardwoods are incredibly dense and have a more BTU than softwoods. They also have more heat.

Contact your local authority to find out whether they have any regulations concerning wood burning. These rules may include rules regarding odors or nuisances and visible smoke emissions or smoke opacity limitations.

It is crucial to keep the glass of a wood stove with a glass front free of dirt and deposits. This can be done using a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray. Alternatively, you can add bicarbonate of soda with a small amount of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance of your stove and chimney is also essential. This includes regular chimney cleanings to remove creosote and ensure the proper functioning of the flue.

If you use a wood stove to heat your home, you'll be able to reduce your carbon footprint as compared to other fossil sources of energy like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are made to conform to EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards which mean they produce very low emissions. The more seasoned wood you use the more efficient your stove will be. You'll require less wood to achieve the same heat.

These fireplaces require some maintenance and attention, including making sure they are positioned away from burning materials and a screening is in place. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and debris. This will ensure that the ethanol fire is burning longer and your home clean. It is recommended that your stove and chimney swept at least twice a year to avoid creosote accumulation which could cause a fire hazard or clog and limit the airflow.
