When properly maintained wood-burning stoves and fireplaces emit little or no pollution when they are used with dry and seasoned wood. If they aren't properly maintained or use wood that is of poor quality the smoke produced contains fine particles also known as particulate pollutants, which can irritate lungs and other body organs. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling this kind of air pollution could cause irritation to the lung as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks and may even cause serious health issues such as cancer, heart disease, or premature death.

Many people are concerned that using a wood burning stove can cause climate change however this isn't necessarily true. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its lifespan. When burned carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

As the wood is sourced locally, this reduces the amount of pollutants released when it is transported. It is also important to use high quality well-seasoned hardwoods, as they will provide a longer and more even burning time than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, including those manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit significantly less pollutant than older stoves. They have been certified to meet 2020 EPA standards that are significantly more strict than earlier emission 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. All our current DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can create very clear exhaust by keeping the flames at a distance from the logs of wood and using dry well-seasoned, clean firewood.

A wood burning stove with a catalytic converter or hybrid unit can offer the ultimate low-carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite the gases and particulates that were ignited during the initial combustion at a later stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then funnel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustor to create a third and final combustion, decreasing emissions to levels well below government standards.

Clean Burn

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

This means your chimney and surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also known as particle pollution, resulting from wood that is not properly burned can cause respiratory issues, like wheezing and coughing, and contribute to heart disease and stroke, diabetes and other serious ailments. Wood burning can also contribute to poor air quality in cities.

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

When you are using a White Fireplace that is wood-burning it is important to use firewood of the highest quality that has been properly seasoned and dried. Hardwoods like oak, ash, and beech are the best for heating. Hardwoods are dense and BTU content and they provide more heat than softwoods.

You should also check whether your local authority has regulations regarding wood burning. They could include rules for nuisance or odor and visible emissions, or opacity limits for smoke.

It is important to keep the glass of a wood stove that has a glass front free of deposits and dirt. You can make use of a dry towel or oven cleaner spray to accomplish this. You can also add bicarbonate soda and water to the glass.

Regular maintenance of your stove and chimney is also crucial. This includes regular chimney cleanings to eliminate creosote and ensure the proper operation of the flue.

If you use 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, inserts and fireplaces are constructed to comply with EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency) 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 as well, so you'll burn less of it to get the same amount of heat.

The fireplaces require some attention and maintenance. They should be kept away from the combustible materials and have a screen in place. Cleaning the grate of ash and debris will allow airflow and will stop the fire from dying out too quickly. Also, it will keep your indoors clean. You should have your stove and chimney swept every year at least two times to prevent creosote build-up, which can be a fire hazard and obstructions that could hinder the flow of air.
