The more dry the wood the more efficiently it burns, which means less smoke and harmful emissions.

Another advantage 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 great option for wildlife.

As far as maintenance is concerned, the only requirement for a wood burner is to regularly remove and scoop up the ash.

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create very little pollutant if they are maintained properly and are used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. When they are not properly maintained or when they use wood of poor quality the smoke produced contains fine particles, commonly referred to as particulate pollution that can cause irritation to the the lungs and other organs of the body. It also contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling these types of air pollution may cause lung irritation wheezing, coughing and asthma attacks. It can even cause serious health conditions such as heart disease, cancer, or premature death.

Some people worry that using a wood-burning stove could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its lifespan. When it is burned the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

The wood is local, which decreases the amount pollution that is produced during the transport process. It is also essential to select top quality, seasoned hardwoods as these will have an extended and 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 are certified to meet 2020 EPA standards which are significantly stricter than previous emission limits.

All wood burning stoves should be fully vented to the outside of your property to ensure they do not create a haze of exhaust within your home. By keeping the flames away from the logs, and ensuring you use dry, seasoned wood, all of our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves are capable of producing very clear exhaust. They also have particulate levels that are 60 or more lower than the DEFRA limit.

A wood-burning stove that has an acatalytic converter or hybrid unit can provide the best low-carbon option for heating. 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. The remaining gasses and particulates are transported through a catalytic combustion unit for a final third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels well below the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest possible efficiency. This results in a minimum amount of particles emitted into the atmosphere when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and ventilation of gases to ensure that the combustion process occurs in a sealed and controlled environment. It also regulates flame height to maximise heat output and minimize emissions.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be a lot cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also referred to as particle pollution, from incompletely burned wood can trigger respiratory problems, such as coughing and wheezing. It can also can contribute to heart disease and stroke, diabetes and other serious ailments. Wood burning is also a contributor to poor air quality in cities.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate matter and dangerous air pollutants like carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can be absorbed into the lungs, as well as other organs, causing discomfort and damage and even death. Dust particles from the air can also damage the surfaces of your home and create an unpleasant sludge-like feel to rooms.

It is essential to use only good quality, seasoned and dried firewood when you use your wood burner fireplace. Hardwoods like oak beech, ash and are the best choice for heating. Hardwoods are dense and have a more BTU than softwoods. They also have more heat.

Check with your local authorities to find out whether they have any regulations concerning wood burning. These may include nuisance/odor rules and visible emissions or the opacity limit for smoke.

Low Maintenance

Many people opt to install wood burning fireplaces due to the natural warmth they create. However, this type of fire requires some upkeep and maintenance.

These fireplaces also provide heat in the event of power outage, particularly during winter storms where tree branches can fall and power lines can be damaged.

Utilizing a wood burner for heating will reduce your carbon footprint significantly when compared to other fossil fuel sources, such as gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are made to comply with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means that they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more seasoned the wood is, the more efficient it will be as well, so you'll burn less of it to get the same amount of heat.

They require some maintenance and attention, such as ensuring they are not in close proximity to burning materials and a screening is installed. The air flow can be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and other debris. This will keep the fire burning longer and your home tidy. It is recommended that your stove and chimney cleaned at least twice per year to prevent creosote build-up, which can be a fire hazard and a blockage that can hinder the flow of air.
