This means less smoke and less harmful emissions.

A wood burning stove has the benefit of being an eco-friendly fuel source which is great for the environment. When you purchase locally-sourced wood, you can also help to contribute to the active management and conservation of woodlands. This is great for wildlife.

The only thing a wood-burning stove requires in terms of maintenance is to regularly take away and dispose of ash. It's somewhat of a hassle but it's worth it to get the best heat from each log.

Low Carbon

Wood burners that burn cleanly and efficiently are the best way to save money while keeping your home warm. They also aid local woodland management. This is an excellent option to help wildlife in your local area.

Wood-burning fireplaces and Biofireplace stoves create minimal pollution when they are maintained properly and operated with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. When they are not properly maintained or when they use wood of poor quality the smoke produced is a result of fine particles, commonly referred to as particulate pollution, which can irritate lung organs and other body organs. Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants such as benzene and formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also present. Inhaling air pollution can cause lung irritation and trigger asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and lung irritation. It could also cause heart disease, cancer or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood burning stove could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. Wood burning is a carbon neutral energy source. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its lifetime. When it is burned carbon dioxide is released into the air.

The wood is sourced locally, which reduces the amount pollution that is produced during the transport process. It is also essential to use high quality well-seasoned hardwoods, as they will provide an extended and even burn than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, such as the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit less carbon dioxide than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet 2020 EPA standards which are considerably 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 in your house. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can produce very clear exhaust by keeping the flames above the logs of wood and using dry well-seasoned, clean firewood.

A wood burning stove equipped with a catalytic converter or a hybrid unit could provide the most efficient low-carbon heating solution. These units ignite the gasses and particulates from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustion combustor for the third and final combustion, further the reduction of emissions to levels that is well below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are designed to burn fuel with the best efficiency that is possible. This results in minimal emissions of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and exhaust of gases, ensuring that the combustion process is conducted in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the flame's height to maximise heat output and minimise emissions.

This means your chimney and its surroundings will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also called particle pollution) caused by incomplete combustion of wood can cause respiratory problems like coughing and wheezing in people and can contribute to the development of heart diseases such as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health problems. Wood burning is also a contributor to poor air quality in cities.

Smoke from poorly combusted timber is a source of fine particulate pollutants as well as harmful air pollutants such as carbon monoxide, as well as other dangerous air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene, and formaldehyde. These particles can be absorbed into the lungs, and other organs, causing discomfort and harm, and even death. Dust particles from the air can also damage the surfaces in your home and give an unpleasant sludge-like feel to rooms.

It's important to use only high-quality, seasoned and dried firewood when using your wood burner fireplace. The most valuable woods for heating are hardwoods such as beech, oak and ash. Hardwoods have a higher density and BTU content, and they offer more heat than softwoods.

You should also determine if your local authority has rules regarding wood burning. These could include nuisance/odor regulations and visible emissions or smoke opacity limits.

It is important to keep the glass of a stove with an open front that is free of dirt and deposits. This can be done using dry cloths or oven cleaner spray. You can also add bicarbonate soda and water to the glass.

Regular maintenance of your stove and chimney is also vital. This includes regular chimney cleanings to eliminate creosote and ensure proper functioning of your flue. It is also important to mark the dates of periodic inspections on your calendar. This will help you avoid costly repairs and prolong the life of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Wood burning fireplaces are popular due to their natural warmth. This kind of fireplace requires some maintenance and upkeep. The chimney, flue, and stove are all possible sources of house fires, if they're not cleaned and maintained regularly. Fireplaces can also be an excellent source of warmth when the power goes out, particularly in winter, when snow storms could cause branches of trees to fall and rip up power lines.

Using a wood stove for heating will reduce your carbon footprint significantly compared to other fossil fuel sources like gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts and fireplaces are constructed to conform to EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency), which means they emit very little emissions. The more well-seasoned wood is the more efficient it will be, so you'll burn less to generate the same amount of heat.

They require some maintenance and care, including ensuring they are positioned away from burning materials and a screening is installed. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate clear of ash and other debris. This will help keep the fire burning longer and your home tidy. It is recommended that your chimney and stove swept at least twice per year to avoid creosote accumulation which could be an extremely dangerous fire hazard as well as obstructions that could hinder the flow of air.

A wood burning stove will need to be maintained on a regular basis and it could take some time for a beginner homeowner to learn how to ignite, light and maintain a steady fire in the fireplace. But, once you've achieved the art of creating and maintaining a fire in your wood stove, it can be a source of lasting pleasure that will provide heat and warmth for your home year after year.

Wood-burning fireplaces have been around in some form or another for nearly 500 years, and they've regained popularity due to their efficiency as well as their sustainability and natural warmth and smell of real wood.
