If they are not properly maintained or use wood of poor quality the smoke produced contains fine particles also known as particulate pollutants, which can irritate the lungs and other organs of the body. It also contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling this type of air pollution may cause irritation to the lung as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks and may even cause serious health conditions such as heart disease, cancer, or premature death.

Some people are worried that wood-burning stoves can contribute to climate changes however this isn't true. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its lifetime. When burned, the carbon is released into the air.

The wood is produced locally, which reduces the amount pollution that is produced during the transport process. It is also essential to select top quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will provide an extended and more consistent burning time than softwoods.

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

All wood burning stoves should be fully vented to the outside of your home to ensure they do not create a haze of exhaust within your home. All of our current DEFRA-exempt, clean burn stoves can create extremely clear exhaust by keeping the flames at a distance from the wood logs and by using dry, seasoned firewood.

A wood burning stove with an acatalytic converter or hybrid unit could provide the most efficient low-carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite gases and particles from the initial burning in a second phase by mixing them superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then transported through a catalytic combustion unit for a final and third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels well below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the greatest efficiency possible. This results in minimal dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and ventilation of gases, ensuring that the combustion process is conducted in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to minimize emissions and increase heat output.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) caused by incomplete combustion of wood causes respiratory problems such as coughing and wheezing in people and contributes to the development of heart disease such as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health problems. Wood burning can also contribute to poor air quality in cities.

The smoke that is emitted from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate matter and dangerous air pollutants such as carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds nitrogen oxides, benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

The fireplaces need some maintenance and care. They should be placed away from materials that ignite and have a screen. Air flow will be improved by keeping the grate clean of ash and other debris. This will help keep the fire burning longer and your home in good order. You should have your chimney and stove swept at least twice per year to prevent creosote build-up, which can be an extremely dangerous ethanol fire hazard as well as a blockage that can hinder the flow of air.
