How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

Unlike traditional open fireplaces wood stoves are specifically designed and optimized to burn wood. This allows them to meet tighter emissions regulations.

Wood burning stoves emit sparkling yellow flames and soft crackling noises. They also provide an incredibly warm feeling. The smoke that is produced is contaminated by air pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves that are wood-burning are not only stunning, but they are also incredibly efficient. A top-quality wood stove can have an Ecodesign rating of up to 77 percent. With the increasing cost of energy, it is important to ensure that you get the most benefits from your log burner The good news is that this is more simple than ever!

The amount of moisture in firewood is a key factor that determines how efficient a wood-burning stove is. We recommend using only dried and seasoned wood that has dried over a period of at least one year and in some cases, two years. The more dry the wood is more dry, the better it burns. This means less smoke, and less harmful emissions.

Another benefit of a wood burning stove is that it's a low carbon source of fuel, which is fantastic for the environment. In addition, by buying locally-sourced firewood, you're helping to promote the active management of woodlands, which is a great option for wildlife.

The only thing that a wood burning stove requires in terms of maintenance is to take away and get rid of ash. This can be a little bit of a hassle, but it's worth it in order to ensure you get most heat from each log. Furthermore when you wait for a couple of days for the ashes to completely cool, they can be reused to make an eco-friendly and non-toxic ice melt. They can be used to polish jewelry and absorb odors.

A wood-burning fireplace is a timeless classic. While they may be less popular than gas fireplaces but there's no denying the beauty and enthralling sound of a roaring log fire. These fires are perfect to cuddle up with on cold evenings, and they create a warm and welcoming area in your home. Making the investment in a top-quality wood burner will pay for itself for a long time. Our chimney sweeps are available to help you get the most from your stove.

Low Carbon

Wood burners that are efficient and clean are one of the best ways to save money on logs and keep your home warm. In addition, they can also assist in the local woodland management. It's a fantastic way to support the wildlife in your local area.

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

Some people are worried that wood-burning stoves will contribute to climate changes However, this isn't true. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. Through the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is 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 well-seasoned and of high quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick) have significantly lower emissions than older stoves. They have been certified to meet 2020 EPA standards that are significantly more strict than previous emission limits.

All wood-burning stoves must be fully vented to the outside of your property to ensure that they do not cause a build-up of exhaust within your home. By keeping the flames in the vicinity of the logs and ensuring that you use dry, seasoned wood, all of our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves produce very clear exhaust and have particulate levels that are 60% or more below the DEFRA limit.

A wood burning stove equipped with a catalytic converter or a hybrid unit can offer the ultimate low-carbon solution for heating. These units ignite gasses and particles from the initial burning in a second stage by mixing them 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 government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are designed to burn fuel with the highest efficiency possible. This results in the emission of very small particles into air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and exhaust of gases to ensure the combustion process is conducted in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximize heat output and minimise emissions.

This means your chimney and surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) from wood that is not fully combusted causes respiratory problems such as coughing and wheezing in people and can lead to the development of heart diseases, stroke, diabetes and other serious health problems. Air pollution caused by wood burning is an important factor in poor air quality in urban areas.

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

It is important to select high-quality, seasoned and dried firewood for your fireplace with a wood burner. The most effective woods for heating are hardwoods, such as beech, ash, and oak. Hardwoods are incredibly dense and have a more BTU than softwoods. They also provide more heat.

Check with your local authority to see whether they have rules concerning wood burning. These could include nuisance/odor regulations and visible emissions or the opacity limit for smoke.

If you have a wood stove with glass doors it is important to keep the glass clear of dirt and deposits. You can make use of a dry towel or oven cleaner spray to accomplish this. You can also add bicarbonate soda mixed with water to the glass.

Regular maintenance of your chimney and stove is also crucial. This includes regular chimney cleanings to remove creosote and ensure proper functioning of your flue. It is also recommended to note the dates of periodic inspections on your calendar. 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 warmth and natural beauty they provide. However, this kind of fire requires some upkeep and maintenance. If it is not maintained and cleaned regularly, the chimney, flue, and stove could have the potential to cause fires in your home. They also provide warmth in the event of a power outage, particularly during winter storms when branches of trees may fall and power lines could be ripped down.

If you use a wood stove to heat your home, you'll be able to reduce your carbon footprint when compared to other fossil sources of fuel like gas. modern fireplace wood stoves and inserts are designed to comply with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means that they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more well-seasoned wood is the more efficient it will be which means you'll burn less of it to produce the same amount of heat.

These ethanol fireplaces require some maintenance and attention, such as ensuring they are not in close proximity to combustible materials and a screen is installed. Keeping the grate clear of ash and debris will allow airflow and will stop the fire from dying too quickly. Also, it will keep your home clean. It is important to have your chimney and stove cleaned at least two times per year to avoid creosote accumulation that could create an ethonal fire hazard or blockage and limit ventilation.

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

Wood-burning fireplaces have been in use in some form or another for over 500 years and have rediscovered their popularity because of their efficiency and sustainability, as well as the natural warmth and scent of real wood.
