How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

In contrast to traditional open fireplaces, wood stoves are engineered and designed to burn wood. This allows them meet tighter emissions regulations.

Wood burning stoves emit dancing yellow flames and cosy crackling noises. They also provide warmth and a warm sensation. However the smoke they release contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

With the increasing cost of energy, it is important to ensure you're getting the maximum value from your log stove - the good thing is that this is much easier than ever!

The amount of moisture in firewood is a key factor that determines how efficient a stove that burns wood is. 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 benefit of a wood burning stove is that it's a low carbon source of fuel, which is fantastic for the environment. If you buy locally-sourced wood, you can also help to promote the active management and conservation of woodlands. This is beneficial for wildlife.

In terms of maintenance involved, the sole requirement for a wood burner is to regularly scoop up and dispose of the ash. This can be a little bit of a hassle, but it's worth it in order to ensure that you get the most heat from every log. If you wait for the ashes to cool completely, they can also be utilized as a non-toxic and eco-friendly melting ice. They can also be used to polish jewellery or absorb smells.

A fireplace with wood burning is a timeless classic. Although they're not as popular than gas fireplaces, there is no denying the charm and enthralling sound of a warm log fire.

Fireplaces Fireplaces and wood-burning stoves cause very little pollution if they are maintained properly and operated with dry, seasoned firewood. However, when they are not maintained well or made of poor quality wood, the smoke produced by them contains fine particles (known as particulate pollution) which can cause irritation to the lungs and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling these types of air pollution may cause irritation to the lung, coughing, wheezing and asthma attacks and may even lead to serious health conditions such as cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Many are concerned that wood-burning stoves contribute to climate change, but this isn't necessarily true. Wood burning is a carbon neutral energy source. Through the life of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burned, the carbon absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

As the wood is sourced locally this decreases the amount of pollution emitted when it is transported. It is essential to select hardwoods that have been seasoned and of top quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

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

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

A wood-burning stove with a catalytic converter can provide the most efficient low carbon solution for heating. These units ignite gasses and particles from the initial burning in a second phase by mixing them with superheated air. They then funnel the remaining particulates and gasses through a catalytic combustor for the third and final combustion, further reducing emissions to a level that is well below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the highest efficiency that is achievable. 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 ventilation of gases to ensure that the combustion process occurs in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximize the output of heat and reduce emissions.

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

Smoke from poorly burned timber is a source of fine particulate pollutants as well as hazardous air pollutant such as carbon monoxide and other hazardous air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene, and formaldehyde. These particles can reach deep into the lung and other organs which can cause discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also damage surfaces in your home, giving them a gritty sensation.

It is essential to use only top quality, seasoned, and dried firewood when you use your wood burner fireplace. Hardwoods like oak beech, ash, and ash are the most efficient for heating. Hardwoods are dense and BTU content, and they offer more heat than softwoods.

You should also check whether your local authority has any rules regarding wood burning. These could include nuisance/odor regulations and visible emissions, or the opacity limit for smoke.

If you have a wood stove with a glass door, it's important to keep the glass clear of dirt and deposits. This can be done with a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray. You can also mix bicarbonate of a soda with a small amount of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is also important for your stove and chimney. This includes regular chimney cleanings to eliminate creosote as well as ensure proper functioning of your flue. Be sure to note dates for regular inspections in your diary, as this will allow you to avoid costly repairs and extend the lifespan of your wood stove.

By using a wood stove to heat your home, you will reduce your carbon footprint compared to other fossil sources of fuel like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are made to comply with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means that they produce very low emissions. The more seasoned the wood is and the better it 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 combustible material and have a screen installed. Air flow will be improved by keeping the grate clear of ash and other debris. This will help keep the fire burning longer and your home in good order. You should have your stove and chimney cleaned at least twice per year to prevent the build-up of creosote which could create an extremely dangerous fire hazard as well as a blockage that can hinder the flow of air.

It could take a while for homeowners who are new to the area to learn to ignite, light and maintain a constant ethanol fire in the fireplace.
