How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

Unlike traditional open fireplaces wood stoves are designed and optimised to burn wood. This allows them to meet stricter emission standards.

Wood burning stoves offer warm, yellow flames that dance, crackling sounds, and that primordial feeling of warmth. The smoke produced is contaminated by air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves that are wood-burning are not just gorgeous, but they are also extremely efficient. A high-quality wood burner can be able to achieve an Ecodesign rating of up to 77 percent. With the increasing cost of energy, it is important to ensure that you're getting the maximum benefit from your log burner - the good news is that it's much simpler than ever before!

One of the most important factors in the efficiency of the wood-burning stove is will be the moisture content of the firewood. We recommend using only seasoned wood that has been dried for at least one year, and in many cases two years. The drier the wood the more efficiently it burns, which results in less smoke and harmful emissions.

Another great benefit of a wood-burning stove is that it's an eco-friendly source of fuel, which is excellent for the environment. In addition, by buying locally sourced firewood you are helping to support the active management of forests which is a good thing for wildlife.

As far as maintenance is concerned, the only requirement of a wood burner is to frequently remove and scoop up the ash. It can be quite a challenge, but it is worth it to get the best heat from every log. If you allow the ashes to cool completely, they can also be used as a non-toxic, eco-friendly melt of ice. They can also be used to polish jewellery or absorb smells.

A fireplace with wood burning is a timeless classic. Although they are less popular than gas fireplaces, the allure and ambiance of a fire that is roaring can't be ignored. They're perfect for cosying with on cold winter evenings and are a great method of creating an inviting and warm space inside your home. A high-quality wood stove will pay off for many years.

Fireplaces and wood-burning stoves cause very little pollution if they are maintained properly and operated with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. However, if they are not maintained properly or are using wood of poor quality the smoke generated by them contains fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can irritate the lungs and other organs. Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde and benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also in the. Inhaling this type of air pollution may cause irritation of the lungs, coughing, wheezing and asthma attacks. It could even lead to serious health conditions such as heart disease, cancer, or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood-burning stove will contribute to climate change however this isn't necessarily true. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon-neutral. Throughout the lifetime of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide and when burned the carbon absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

As the wood is sourced locally, it reduces the amount of pollutants released in the process of transportation. It is important to use hardwoods that are well-seasoned and of high quality. They 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 certified to meet 2020 EPA standards that are significantly more stringent than the previous emission limits.

To prevent a build-up of exhaust in your home, all wood burning stoves must be vented completely to the outside. By keeping the flames in the vicinity of the logs, and ensuring you use dry, seasoned and dry wood, all of our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves can produce very clear exhaust. They also have particulate levels that are 60% or more below the DEFRA limit.

A wood-burning stove with a hybrid unit or catalytic converter could be the most efficient low carbon heating solution. These units ignite the gasses and particulates from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are transported through a catalytic combustion unit for a final third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels that are below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are designed to burn fuel with the greatest efficiency possible. This results in minimal emissions of particles into the air when burning wood. The stove's air management system regulates the intake and venting of gases, ensuring the combustion process occurs in a closed, controlled atmosphere. It also regulates the flame height to minimize emissions and increase the heat output.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also called particle pollution) from incompletely combusted wood can cause respiratory problems like wheezing and coughing and can lead to the development of heart disease as well as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health issues. Wood burning can also contribute to poor air quality in cities.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutants like carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can get into the organs of the lungs, causing damage, discomfort and even death. Dust particles from the air can also damage the surfaces of your home and create the impression of a rough surface to rooms.

When using your wood-burning fireplace it is important to make use of high-quality firewood that has been seasoned and dried. Hardwoods such as oak beech, ash and are the best for heating. Hardwoods are extremely dense and have more BTU than softwoods. They also have more heat.

You should also check whether your local authority has any rules regarding wood burning. These may include rules regarding odors or nuisances and visible smoke emissions or smoke opacity limits.

It is important to keep the glass of a stove with glass fronts free of deposits and dirt. You can make use of 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 crucial. This includes regular chimney cleanings that remove creosote as well as ensure proper operation of the flue. It is also important to mark the dates of periodic inspections on your calendar. This will help you to avoid costly repairs and prolong your wood burner's life.

Modern wood stoves and inserts have been designed to conform to EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means that they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more seasoned the wood is and the better it is, the more efficient it will be, so you'll burn less of it to get the same amount of heat.

They require some maintenance and care, including ensuring they are positioned away from combustible materials and a screen is in place. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and other debris. This will ensure that the fire is burning longer and your home in good order. It is recommended that your chimney and stove swept at least two times per year to prevent creosote accumulation, which can cause fire hazards or blockage and hinder ventilation.
