However, if they are not maintained properly or are used with poor quality wood the smoke that is produced by them contains fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can irritate the lungs and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide and harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation to the lungs and trigger asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and irritation of the lungs. It can also lead to cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people are worried that wood-burning stoves cause climate change however this isn't true. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. Throughout the lifetime of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burned, the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

As the wood is sourced locally, it reduces the amount of pollution that is released when it is transported. It is also essential to select high-quality well-seasoned hardwoods, as they will give an extended and more consistent burning time than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, including the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit much less pollution 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.

All wood-burning stoves must be fully vented to the outside of your property to ensure they do not create a haze of exhaust inside your home. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean-burn stoves produce very clear exhaust by keeping the flames above the wood logs and using dry and seasoned firewood.

A wood-burning stove equipped with a catalytic converter can provide the best low carbon heating solution. These units ignite the particulates and gases from the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gasses and particulates are pumped through a catalytic combustion unit to create a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels that are below the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the highest efficiency possible. This results in the emission of a small amount of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and ventilation of gases, ensuring that the combustion process occurs in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates the flame's height to minimise emissions and maximise the heat output.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be a lot cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also known as particle pollution, is a result of wood that is not properly burned can cause respiratory problems, such as coughing and wheezing, and contribute to heart diseases, stroke, diabetes, and other serious conditions. The smoke from wood combustion is an element that contributes to poor air quality in urban areas.

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 harmful air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can penetrate deep into the organs of the lungs, causing damage, discomfort and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate the surfaces of your home and give an unpleasant sludge-like feel to rooms.

When you are using a fireplace that is wood-burning it is essential to use high-quality firewood that has been properly seasoned and dried.

Fireplaces Wood require some attention and maintenance. They should be kept away from the combustible materials and have a screen. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate clean of ash and debris. This will keep the fire burning longer and your home clean.
