This results in less smoke and less harmful emissions.

A wood burning stove also is an environmentally friendly fuel source, which is good for the environment. By purchasing locally sourced wood, you are also helping to contribute to the active management and conservation of woodlands. This is beneficial for wildlife.

Low Carbon

Burners that burn clean and efficiently are among the most efficient ways to save money on logs while keeping your home warm. Additionally, they also aid in local woodland management, a excellent way to help the wildlife that lives in your area.

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create minimal pollution when they are maintained properly and operated with dry, seasoned firewood. However, if they are not maintained well or using wood of poor quality the smoke generated by them contains fine particles (known as particulate pollution) which can cause irritation to the lung and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants like benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause lung irritation and cause asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and lung irritation. It could also cause cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Many are concerned that wood-burning stoves will cause climate change however this isn't true. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. The wood absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its lifespan. When it is burned the carbon dioxide is released into the air.

Because the wood is harvested locally this decreases the amount of pollutants released when it is transported. It is important to use hardwoods that have been seasoned and of top quality. They will 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 are certified to meet 2020 EPA standards, which are considerably more stringent than the earlier emission limits.

To prevent a build-up of exhaust inside your home, all wood-burning stoves must be vented completely to the outside. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean-burn stoves produce clear exhaust when keeping the flames at a distance from the wood logs and by using dry well-seasoned, clean firewood.

A wood-burning stove with an integrated unit or catalytic converter is the best low carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite gasses and particles from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are transferred to a catalytic unit to create a final and third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels that are below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the highest efficiency that is possible. This means that there are fewer particles emitted into the atmosphere when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and venting of gases to ensure that the combustion process takes place in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the flame height to reduce emissions and maximize the heat output.

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, from incompletely burned wood can cause respiratory problems, such as coughing and wheezing. It can also contribute to heart diseases as well as stroke, diabetes and other serious illnesses. Wood burning also contributes to poor air quality in cities.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate matter and dangerous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can be absorbed into the lungs, as well as other organs, causing discomfort and harm, and even death. Airborne dust can also damage surfaces within your home, giving them a gritty feeling.

When using your wood-burning fireplace, it's important to only use firewood of the highest quality that has been properly seasoned and dried. Hardwoods like oak beech, ash, and ash are the best for heating. Hardwoods have a high density and BTU content. They also provide more heat than softwoods.

You should also check whether your local authority has rules regarding wood burning. They could include rules for nuisance or odor and visible emissions, or opacity limits for smoke.

If you have a wood stove with a glass door, it's important to keep the glass clear of deposits and grime. You can use a dry towel or oven cleaner spray to do this. You can also add bicarbonate soda mixed with water to the glass.

Regular maintenance of your chimney and stove is also essential. Regular chimney cleanings are required to eliminate creosote, and also to ensure that the flue works properly. It is also important to mark the dates of periodic inspections on your calendar. This will allow you prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Wood burning fireplaces are very popular because they provide a natural warmth. This type of fireplace requires a bit of maintenance and upkeep. If not maintained and cleaned regularly the chimney, flue and stove could be potential sources of fires in your home. These Wooden Fireplaces are also an excellent source of warmth when power is out, especially in winter when snowstorms can cause tree branches to fall and rip up power lines.

Using a wood burner for heating will reduce your carbon footprint significantly when compared to other fossil fuel sources such as gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are made to comply with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means they produce very low emissions. The more seasoned the wood is, the more efficient it will be as well and you'll use less of it to get the same amount of heat.

The fireplaces require some maintenance and care. They must be kept clear of materials that ignite and have a screen in place. The air flow can be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and other debris. This will keep the fire burning longer and your home tidy. You should have your chimney and stove cleaned at least two times per year to prevent the accumulation of creosote, which can cause fire hazards or blockage and hinder circulation.

A wood burning stove will need to be tended constantly and it can take a while for a novice homeowner to master the art of how to ignite, light and maintain a constant bioethanol fire in the fireplace. Once you've learned the art, your wood burner will be a source for warmth and comfort in your home.

Fireplaces that burn wood have been around in a variety of forms for over 500 years and have rediscovered their popularity because of their energy efficiency as well as their sustainability and natural warmth and aroma of real wood.
