Unlike traditional open ethanol fireplaces wood stoves are specifically designed and optimized to burn wood. This allows them to meet the stricter emission requirements.

With the rising cost of energy, it is essential to make sure you get the most benefits from your log burner The good news is that it's much easier than ever!

A key factor in the efficiency of a wood burning stove is in the water content of the wood. This is why we suggest only using wood that is seasoned, that has been dried for at least one year, and more often two years. The more dry the wood and the more efficient it is to burn. This results in lesser smoke and fewer 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. If you buy locally-sourced wood, you are also helping to promote the active management and conservation of woodlands. This is great for wildlife.

The only thing a wood-burning stove requires in terms of maintenance is to remove 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. If you allow the ashes 2-3 days to completely cool They can also be utilized as a non-toxic and green ice melt. They can also be used to polish jewellery or absorb odors.

Low Carbon

Wood burners that are clean and efficient are among the best ways to save money on logs while keeping your home warm. Additionally, they also help to support local woodland management, which is a great way of supporting the wildlife that lives in your local environment.

If properly maintained, wood-burning fireplaces and stoves emit very little pollutant when they are used with dry and seasoned firewood. If they are not properly maintained or when they make use of wood that is not of high quality, the smoke that is produced contains fine particles, often referred to as particulate pollutants, which can irritate the lungs and other organs of the body. Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also in the. Inhaling air pollution can cause lung irritation and lead to asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and irritation of the lungs. It may also cause cancer, heart disease or premature death.

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

The wood is local, which decreases the amount pollution that is produced during the transport process. It is important to use hardwoods that are seasoned and of top quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, including the ones made by Charlton & Jenrick, emit less carbon dioxide than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet the 2020 EPA standards, which are significantly more stringent than the previous emission limits.

To avoid a build up of exhaust inside your home, all wood burning stoves should be vented fully to the outside. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean-burn stoves produce clear exhaust when keeping the flames above the logs of wood and using dry, seasoned firewood.

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

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest possible efficiency. This results in the emission of very small particles into air when burning wood. The stove's air management system controls the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring the combustion process is conducted in a sealed, controlled atmosphere. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximize heat output and minimise emissions.

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

The smoke that is emitted from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutants like carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can penetrate deep into the lungs, and other organs, causing discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate the surfaces of your home and create an unpleasant sludge-like feel to rooms.

If you're using a fireplace with wood burning it is important to use high-quality firewood that has been seasoned and dried. The most effective woods for heating are hardwoods, such as oak, ash and beech. Hardwoods have a higher density and BTU content, and they offer more heat than softwoods.

Check with your local authority to determine whether they have rules about wood burning. These could include nuisance/odor regulations and visible emissions or opacity limits for smoke.

It is essential to keep the glass of a wood stove with a glass front free of deposits and dirt. You can use a dry towel or oven cleaner spray to do this. You can also mix bicarbonate of a soda with a little water to the glass.

Regular maintenance of your stove and chimney is also crucial. This includes regular chimney cleanings that remove creosote as well as ensure proper functioning of the flue. Be sure to note dates for regular inspections in your calendar, since this will help you avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Many people prefer installing wood burning fireplaces due to the natural warmth they generate. However, this type of fire requires some care and maintenance. If it is not maintained and cleaned regularly, the chimney, flue and stove could have the potential to cause fires within your home. Fireplaces can also provide heat in the event of an electrical outage, especially during winter storms, when branches of trees can fall and power lines could be ripped down.

Using a wood stove to heat your home can reduce your carbon footprint substantially compared to other fossil fuel sources like gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts and fireplaces are built to comply with EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency), which means they emit very little emissions. The more seasoned the wood fireplaces is the more efficient it will be as well, so you'll burn less to generate the same amount of heat.

The stone fireplaces need some attention and maintenance. They should be kept away from materials that ignite and have a screen installed. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate clear of ash and other debris. This will keep the fire burning longer and your home tidy. You should have your stove and chimney cleaned at least twice per year to prevent the build-up of creosote, which can be a fire hazard and a blockage that can hinder the flow of air.

It may take some time for homeowners who are new to the area to learn to ignite, light and maintain a continuous fire in the fireplace. Once you've learned the art of lighting, your wood burning stove will be an excellent source of warmth and comfort in your home.

Wood-burning fireplaces have been in use in some form or another for nearly 500 years, and they've regained popularity because of their energy efficiency and sustainability, as well as the natural warmth and smell of real wood.
