How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

Unlike traditional open fireplaces wood stoves are engineered and designed to burn wood. This allows them to comply with tighter emissions regulations.

Wood burning stoves emit dancing yellow flames and cosy crackling noises. They also give you a primal feeling of warmth. However, the smoke it creates contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants like benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves made of wood provide beautiful and natural heat source to the home, and they are extremely efficient. A top-quality wood burner could be eco-friendly up to 77%. It is vital to get the most out of your log burner in light of increasing energy costs. The good news is it's now easier than ever before to do!

The amount of moisture in wood is one of the main factors that determines how efficient a stove that burns wood is. We recommend using only seasoned wood that has been dried over a period of at least one year, and often two years. The more dry the wood, the more efficiently it burns, which results in less smoke and less harmful emissions.

Another great benefit of a wood burning stove is that it's an eco-friendly source of fuel, which is fantastic for the environment. Furthermore, by buying locally-sourced firewood, you're helping to support the active management of woodlands, which is a great aspect for wildlife.

As far as maintenance is involved, the sole requirement for a wood burner is to take out and dispose of the ash. It can be quite a challenge, but it is worth it to get the maximum heat from each log. If you wait for the ashes 2-3 days to cool completely and then, they can be used as a non-toxic, green melt of ice. They can also be used to polish jewellery or absorb odors.

A freestanding fireplace with a wood burner is a timeless classic. Although they're less well-known than gas fireplaces, the allure and appeal of a roaring flame cannot be ignored. They are ideal to snuggle to on cold winter evenings, and they create a warm and welcoming space in your home. Choose a high-quality wood stove and you'll be reaping the benefits for many years to come!

Low Carbon

Burners that burn clean and efficiently are among the best ways to save money on logs while keeping your home warm. In addition, they also help to support local woodland management, which is a excellent way to help the wildlife that lives in your local area.

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

Many are concerned that wood-burning stoves contribute to climate change However, this isn't true. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon-neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its lifespan. After burning carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

The wood is produced locally, which reduces the amount of pollution produced during the transport process. It is crucial to choose hardwoods that are well-seasoned and of top quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, including the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit much less pollution than older stoves. They are certified to meet 2020 EPA standards which are significantly more strict than previous emission limits.

To avoid the buildup of exhaust within your home, all wood-burning stoves must be vented completely to the outside. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can create clear exhaust when keeping the flames at a distance from the logs of wood and using dry and seasoned firewood.

A wood-burning stove that has an integrated unit or catalytic converter is the ultimate low carbon solution for heating. These units ignite the gasses and particulates from the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining particulates and gasses through a catalytic combustor for a third and final combustion, further decreasing emissions to levels that is well below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the highest efficiency that is achievable. 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 exhaust of gases, ensuring that the combustion process takes place in a sealed and controlled environment. It also regulates the flame's height to maximise the output of heat and reduce emissions.

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

The smoke from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollution as well as hazardous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds nitrogen oxides, benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can get into the lung and other organs and cause discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate surfaces within your home and give them a rough feel.

It's important to use only good quality, seasoned and dried firewood for your fireplace stove with a wood burner. Hardwoods such as oak, ash, and beech are the best choice for heating. Hardwoods are dense and BTU content. They also offer more heat than softwoods.

You should also determine if your local authority has rules regarding wood burning. These may include rules regarding odors or nuisances and visible emissions or smoke opacity limitations.

If you have a wood stove with a glass door it is important to keep the glass free of grime and deposits. You can use a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray to do this. Alternately, you can add bicarbonate of soda with a small amount of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is crucial for your stove and chimney. This includes regular chimney cleanings to remove creosote and ensure the proper functioning of your flue. Also be sure to mark dates for periodic inspections in your calendar, since this will help you avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Many people prefer installing wood burning fireplaces because of the warmth and natural beauty they provide. However, this kind of fire requires a bit of upkeep and maintenance. If not cleaned and maintained regularly, the chimney, flue, and stove could all be potential sources of electric fires within your home. These fireplaces also provide heat in the event of power outage, particularly during winter storms, when branches of trees can fall and power lines could be damaged.

If you use a wood stove to heat your home, you'll be able to reduce your carbon footprint compared to other fossil sources of fuel like gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts and fireplaces are constructed to meet EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency) which means that they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more well-seasoned wood you use, the more efficient the stove will be. You'll need less wood to generate the same amount of heat.

The fireplaces require some maintenance and care. They must be kept clear of combustible material and have a screen installed. Cleaning the grate of debris and ash will help air flow, which will prevent the fire from dying out quickly. It will also help keep your indoors clean. You should have your chimney and stove swept at least once a year to prevent creosote build-up which could be a dangerous fire hazard and a blockage that can hinder circulation.

It can take a while for a new homeowner to master the art of to ignite, light and maintain a continuous fire in the fireplace suite. However, once you have achieved the art of creating and maintaining the fire in your wood burner, it will be a source of constant pleasure that can provide heat and warmth for your home every year.

Wood burning fireplaces have been around in a variety of forms for more than 500 years and they've regained popularity due to their energy efficiency, sustainability, and the natural warmth and smell of real wood.
