Wood stoves, in contrast to traditional open fireplaces, are designed to use wood for combustion. This allows them meet stricter emission regulations.
Wood burning stoves create sparkling yellow flames and soft crackling sounds. They also give you an incredibly warm feeling. The smoke that is generated is filled with harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

The moisture content of firewood is a key factor that determines how efficient a stove that burns wood is. This is why we recommend only using seasoned wood which has been dried for a minimum of one year, but more often two years. The more dry the wood, the more efficiently it burns which results in less smoke and less harmful emissions.
Another benefit of a wood burning stove is that it’s a low carbon source of fuel, which is fantastic for the environment. Additionally, by purchasing locally-sourced firewood, you’re helping to support the active management of woodlands which is a good aspect for wildlife.
The only thing a wood-burning stove needs in terms of maintenance is to regularly take away and dispose of ash. It can be a bit of a hassle but it’s worth it to ensure you get maximum heat from each and every log. Additionally that if you wait 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 be used to polish jewelry or absorb the odors.

Wood-burning Fireplaces And Stove and stoves create minimal pollution when they are maintained properly and used with dry, seasoned firewood. When they are not properly maintained or when they use wood that is of poor quality the smoke produced is a result of fine particles, also known as particulate pollutants, which can irritate the lungs and other organs of the body. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling this type of air pollution could cause lung irritation wheezing, coughing and asthma attacks and may even lead to serious health issues such as cancer, heart disease or premature death.
Some people fear that using a wood burning stove will contribute to climate change however this isn’t necessarily the case. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon neutral. In the course of 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 pollutants released during transportation. It is important to use hardwoods that are seasoned and of top quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.
Modern wood stoves, like the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit much less pollution than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet 2020 EPA standards which are considerably 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 cause a build-up of exhaust in your house. By keeping the flames away from the logs, and ensuring you use dry, seasoned wood and all our clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves produce very clear exhaust and have particle levels of 60 or more lower than the DEFRA limit.
A wood-burning stove that has a hybrid unit or catalytic converter can provide the ultimate low carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite gasses and particles that were ignited during the initial burning in a second phase by mixing them superheated air. They then channel the remaining gasses and particulates through a catalytic combustion combustor for a third and final combustion, further the reduction of emissions to levels well below government standards.
Clean Burn
Cleanburn wood stoves are designed to burn fuel with the greatest efficiency that is achievable. This means that there are fewer particles emitted into the atmosphere when burning wood. The stove’s air management system controls the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring the combustion process is conducted in a controlled, sealed atmosphere. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximize the output of heat and reduce emissions.
This means that your chimney and surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also known as particle pollution, from wood that is not properly burned can cause respiratory issues, like coughing and wheezing. It can also can contribute to heart disease and stroke, diabetes and other serious illnesses. Air pollution caused by wood burning is a contributory factor in poor urban air quality.
Smoke from poorly combusted timber contains fine particulate pollutants and hazardous air pollutant such as carbon monoxide as well as other harmful air pollutants like nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can get into the lungs and other organs, causing damage, discomfort and even death. Airborne dust can also damage surfaces within your home with a smudge-like sensation.
It is essential to use only high-quality, seasoned and dried firewood for your wood burner fireplace. The most valuable woods for heating are hardwoods, such as beech, ash, and oak. Hardwoods are incredibly dense and have a more BTU than softwoods. They also have more heat.
You should also check whether your local authority has any rules regarding wood burning. They could include rules for nuisance or odor and visible emissions or smoke opacity limits.
It is important to keep the glass of a wood stove with an open front that is free of grime and deposits. You can use a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray to do this. You can also add bicarbonate soda and water to the glass.
Regular maintenance is crucial for your chimney and stove. This includes regular chimney cleanings to eliminate creosote and ensure proper operation of the flue. Also be sure to mark dates for regular inspections in your diary, as this will allow you to avoid costly repairs and extend the longevity of your wood burner.
Low Maintenance
Wood burning fireplaces are very popular because they provide a natural warmth. However, this type of fire requires a bit of upkeep and maintenance. The chimney, flue and stove are all potential sources of house fires, if they’re not cleaned and maintained regularly. Fireplaces are also a great source of heat when the power goes out, especially in winter when snow storms can cause branches of trees to fall and knock down under-hanging power lines.
When you use a wood stove to heat your home, you will reduce your carbon footprint compared to other fossil sources of energy like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are designed to conform to EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means that they produce very low emissions. The more well-seasoned wood you use the more efficient your stove will be. You’ll require less wood to generate the same amount of heat.
These fireplaces require some maintenance and attention, including making sure they are positioned away from the ignition source and that a screen is installed. Keeping the grate clear of ash and debris will aid in the flow of air, which will prevent the fire from dying out quickly. It will also help keep your home clean. You should have your stove and chimney cleaned every year at least two times to avoid creosote accumulation which could create an extremely dangerous fire hazard as well as a blockage that can hinder ventilation.
It can take a while for a new homeowner to learn to ignite, light and maintain a constant fire in the fireplace. But, once you’ve mastered the art of building and maintaining the fire in your wood burner, it will be a source of enduring enjoyment that provides heat and warmth for your home year after year.
Wood burning fireplaces have been around in some form or another for more than 500 years and they’ve regained popularity because of their effectiveness as well as their sustainability and natural warmth and scent of real wood.
