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 the stricter emission requirements.

Wood burning stoves are renowned for their warm, yellow flames that dance, crackling sounds and that primal sensation of warmth. However the smoke they release is contaminated with carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants, such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

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

A wood burning stove offers the advantage of being a low-carbon fuel source, which is great for the environment. When you purchase locally-sourced wood, you also help to support the active management and conservation of woodlands. This is great for wildlife.

Wood-burning stoves and fireplaces produce very little pollution if they are properly maintained and are used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. However, if they are not maintained well or using wood of poor quality the smoke that is produced by them contains fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can irritate the lungs and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as harmful air pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation to the lungs and lead to asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and irritation of the lungs. It can also lead to heart disease, cancer or premature death.

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

Since the wood is sourced locally this decreases the amount of pollutants released during transportation. It is also important to select high-quality, seasoned hardwoods as these will have an extended and more consistent burn than softwoods.

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

All wood burning stoves must be fully vented to the outside of your property to ensure that they don't create a build-up of exhaust inside your home. By keeping flames above the logs, and ensuring you make use of dry, seasoned wood, all our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves are capable of producing very clear exhaust. They also have particle levels of 60% or more below the DEFRA limit.

A wood burning stove with an acatalytic converter or hybrid unit could provide the most efficient low-carbon option for heating. These units re-ignite gasses and particles released from the initial burning in a second stage by mixing them 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 far below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the highest efficiency possible. This means that there are fewer dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and ventilation of gases, ensuring that the combustion process occurs in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the flame height to reduce emissions and maximize heat output.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be a lot cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) caused by incomplete combustion of wood causes respiratory issues like wheezing and coughing and contributes to the development of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other serious health issues. Wood burning is also a contributor to poor air quality in cities.

Smoke from poorly combusted timber has fine particulate pollution and dangerous air pollutants like carbon monoxide, as well as other dangerous air pollutants, such as 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 harm the surfaces in your home and give a gritty feel to rooms.

If you're using a tabletop fireplace with wood burning it is important to make use of high-quality firewood that has been seasoned and dried. The most valuable 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.

Check with your local authorities to see whether they have any regulations regarding wood burning. These rules may include rules regarding odors and nuisances and visible emissions or smoke opacity restrictions.

If you have a wood burner with a glass door it is important to keep the glass clear of grime and deposits. You can use a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray to accomplish this. Alternately, you can add bicarbonate of soda with a little water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is also important for your chimney and stove. Regular chimney cleanings are required to eliminate creosote, and also to ensure that the flue is operating correctly.

Utilizing a wood burner to heat your home will reduce your carbon footprint substantially when compared to other fossil fuel sources such as gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are made to conform to EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means that they produce very low emissions. The more well-seasoned wood is the more efficient it will be as well which means you'll burn less of it to produce the same amount of heat.
