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 meet tighter emissions regulations.

Wood burning stoves create sparkling yellow flames and soft crackling sounds. They also give you a primal feeling of warmth. However, the smoke it creates is contaminated with carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants, such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves made of wood are not just beautiful, but also extremely efficient. A top-quality wood stove can be eco-friendly up to 77 percent. It is crucial to get the most out of your log stove particularly with the increasing energy costs. The good thing is that it's much easier than ever to do!

One of the most important factors in how effective the wood-burning stove is in the water content of the wood. This is why we suggest only using seasoned wood that has been dried for at least one year, and more often two years. The dryer the wood is, the more efficiently it burns, which means less smoke and less harmful emissions.

Another advantage of a wood burning stove is that it's a low carbon source of fuel, which is excellent for the environment. When you purchase locally-sourced wood, you are also helping to support the active management and conservation of forests. This is beneficial for wildlife.

The only thing a wood burning stove requires in terms of maintenance is to regularly take away and get rid of ash. It's somewhat of a hassle, but it is worth it to get the best heat from every log. If you allow the ashes to completely cool, they can also be used as a non-toxic, green melting ice. They can also be used to polish jewellery and remove smells.

A wood-burning fireplace tools sets is an old-fashioned classic. Although they're less popular than gas fires however, there's no denying the charm and enthralling sound of a warm log fire.

Low Carbon

Wood burners that are clean and efficient are among the most efficient ways to save money on logs and keep your home warm. They also aid local woodland management. This is a great option to help wildlife in your local area.

If properly maintained, wood-burning fireplaces and stoves emit very little pollution when they are operated with seasoned and dry firewood. However, when they are not maintained well or using wood of poor quality, the smoke produced by them is contaminated with fine particles (known as particulate pollution) which can cause irritation to the lung and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as harmful air pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation to the lungs and trigger asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and lung irritation. It can also lead to heart disease, cancer 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. Throughout the lifetime of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide and when burned the carbon absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

As the wood is sourced locally this decreases the amount of pollution emitted in the process of transportation. It is important to use hardwoods that have been seasoned and of high quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, such as those manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit less carbon dioxide than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet the 2020 EPA standards which are considerably more stringent than previous emissions limits.

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

A wood-burning stove with a catalytic converter could be the best low carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite the gases and particulates that were ignited during the initial combustion at a later stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustion combustor for an additional and final combustion, further decreasing emissions to levels much lower than the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the greatest efficiency that is possible. This results in the emission of very small particles into air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and ventilation of gases to ensure that the combustion process takes place in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates flame height to maximize heat output and minimise emissions.

This means that your chimney and 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 issues, like coughing and wheezing, and contribute to heart diseases, stroke, diabetes, fireplace and other serious conditions. The smoke from wood burning is also a contributory factor in poor air quality in urban areas.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutants such as carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can reach deep into the organs of the lungs, causing damage, discomfort and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate the surfaces of your home and create an unpleasant sludge-like feel to rooms.

It is important to select good quality, seasoned and dried firewood when using your fireplace with a wood burner. The most efficient woods for heating are hardwoods like oak, ash and beech. Hardwoods have a high density and BTU content and they offer more heat than softwoods.

Check with your local authorities to see whether they have rules regarding wood burning. They could include rules for nuisance or odor and visible emissions or the opacity limit for smoke.

If you have a wood stove with glass doors, it's important to keep the glass clear of grime and deposits. You can use a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray for this. You can also add bicarbonate of soda with a small amount of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is also important for your stove and chimney. Regular chimney cleanings are necessary to eliminate creosote, and also to ensure that the flue is operating correctly. Also, make sure you mark dates for periodic inspections in your calendar, since this will allow you to avoid costly repairs and prolong the longevity of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Wood burning fireplaces are popular because they provide a natural warmth. However, this type of fire requires some upkeep and maintenance. If not cleaned and maintained regularly, the chimney, flue and stove could have the potential to cause fires within your home. They also provide warmth in the event of a power outage, especially during winter storms, when tree branches can fall and power lines could be knocked down.

Utilizing a wood burner for heating will reduce your carbon footprint significantly compared to other fossil fuel sources such as gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts and fireplaces are designed to meet EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency) which means they produce very little emissions. The more seasoned the wood is and the better it is, the more efficient it will be as well, so you'll burn less of it to get the same amount of heat.

They require some maintenance and attention, including making sure they are positioned away from burning materials and fireplace a screening is in place. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and other debris. This will ensure that the fire is burning longer and your home tidy. It is important to have your stove and chimney swept at least twice a year to avoid creosote accumulation which could cause an fire hazard or blockage and restrict the airflow.

A wood burning stove will need to be tended constantly and it could take some time for a beginner homeowner to understand how to light, ignite and maintain a steady fire in the fireplace. Once you've mastered the art of burning, your wood stove will become an excellent source of warmth and comfort within your home.

Wood burning fireplaces are around in a variety of forms or styles for more than 500 years. They've gained a lot of attention due to their efficiency, sustainability and the natural warmth that comes from wood.
