How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner fireplace stove

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

Wood burning stoves offer glowing yellow flames, cozy crackling sounds, and that primordial feeling of warmth. The smoke that is produced is filled with harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde and benzene as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves that burn wood provide a beautiful and natural heat to your home, but they are also incredibly efficient. A good quality wood burner can achieve an Ecodesign rating of up to 77%. With rising energy costs it is crucial to ensure you are getting the maximum benefits from your log burner - the good thing is that this is much simpler than ever before!

A key factor in how effective a wood burning stove is in the water content of the wood. This is why we recommend only using wood that is seasoned, which has been dried for at least one year, but more often two years. The more dry the wood the more efficiently it burns, which means less smoke and less harmful emissions.

Another advantage of a wood burning stove is that it's an eco-friendly source of fuel, which is fantastic for the environment. When you purchase locally-sourced wood, you are also helping to promote the active management and conservation of woodlands. This is beneficial for wildlife.

As far as maintenance is involved, the sole requirement of a wood burner is to frequently remove and scoop up the ash. It can be a bit of a nuisance, but is well worth it to ensure that you get the most heat from every log. Additionally, if you wait 2-3 days until the ashes completely cool, they can be reused to make an eco-friendly and non-toxic ice melt. They can also be used to polish jewellery or absorb odors.

A wood-burning fireplace is an old-fashioned classic. Although they're less popular than gas fireplaces but there's no denying the charm and enthralling sound of a roaring log fire. They are ideal to snuggle to on cold winter evenings, and they make a warm and inviting area in your home. Invest in a quality wood stove and you'll start enjoying the benefits for years to come!

Low Carbon

Wood burners that burn cleanly and efficiently are the most efficient way to save money while keeping your house warm. As an added benefit they can also assist in local woodland management, which is a great way of supporting the wildlife that lives in your local area.

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create minimal pollution when they are maintained properly and used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. However, if they are not maintained well or made of poor quality wood the smoke generated by them can contain fine particles (known as particulate pollution) which can cause irritation to the lung and other organs. Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants such as benzene and formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also in the. Inhaling this type of air pollution could cause lung irritation as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks and may even cause serious health issues such as cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood burning stove could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. Through the life of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when burned the absorbed carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

Because the wood is harvested locally, this reduces the amount of pollution emitted during transportation. It is also essential to use high quality well-seasoned hardwoods, as they will have a longer and more even burn than softwoods.

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

All wood-burning stoves must be fully vented to the outside of your home to ensure that they don't create a build-up of exhaust in your house. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can produce extremely clear exhaust by keeping the flames in the vicinity of the wood logs and using dry well-seasoned, clean firewood.

A wood-burning stove that has an acatalytic converter or hybrid unit could provide the most efficient low-carbon option for heating. These units ignite gasses and particles released from the initial burning in a second phase by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are transferred to a catalytic unit to create 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 minimal dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood. The stove's air management system controls the intake and exhausting of gases, making sure that the combustion process occurs in a closed, controlled environment. It also regulates the flame's height to minimize emissions and increase the heat output.

This means that your chimney as well as the surrounding area will be a lot cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also called particle pollution) from wood that is not fully combusted causes respiratory problems such as wheezing and coughing in people and contributes to the development of heart disease such as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health problems. Wood burning can also contribute to poor air quality in cities.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollution as well as hazardous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can reach deep into the lungs and other organs, causing damage, discomfort and even death. Airborne dust can also harm the surfaces of your home and create a gritty feel to rooms.

It is essential to use only high-quality, seasoned and dried firewood for your wood burner fireplace. The most effective woods for heating are hardwoods such as beech, oak and ash. Hardwoods have a higher density and BTU content. They also offer more heat than softwoods.

Contact your local authority to find out whether they have rules about wood burning. These may include nuisance/odor rules 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 grime and deposits. You can use a dry towel or oven cleaner spray for this. You can also add bicarbonate soda and water to the glass.

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

Low Maintenance

Many people choose to install wood-burning fireplaces due to the warmth and natural beauty they provide. This kind of fireplace suite requires some maintenance and upkeep. The chimney, flue, and stove are all potential sources of house fires, if they're not maintained and cleaned regularly. They also provide warmth in the event of a power outage, particularly during winter storms, when tree branches can fall and power lines could be ripped down.

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

Fireplaces require some maintenance and care. They must be kept clear of materials that ignite and have a screen in place. Cleaning the grate of ash and debris will help air flow and prevent the fire from dying out too quickly and keep your indoors clean. It is recommended that your chimney and stove cleaned at least two times per year to avoid creosote accumulation, which can cause fire hazards or blockage and hinder the airflow.

A wood-burning stove has to be tended constantly and it could take some time for a beginner homeowner to master the art of how to light, ignite, and maintain a steady fire in the tabletop fireplace. However, once you have learned the art of creating and maintaining the fire in your wood stove, it can be a source of constant pleasure that can provide warmth and warmth to your home year after year.

Wood-burning fireplaces have been around in a variety of forms for nearly 500 years, and they've regained popularity because of their effectiveness as well as their sustainability and natural warmth and aroma of real wood.
