What Are The Reasons You Should Be Focusing On Improving Wood Burner Fireplace
How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace
Wood stoves, in contrast to traditional open fireplaces, are engineered to burn wood. This allows them to meet tighter emissions regulations.
Wood burning stoves emit glowing yellow flames that dance and warm crackling noises. They also give you warmth and a warm sensation. However the smoke that it produces is contaminated with carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants, such as formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Efficient
Fireplaces and stoves that burn wood provide beautiful and natural heat to your home, they are also extremely efficient. A top-quality wood stove can have an Ecodesign rating of up to 77%. With the increasing cost of energy, it is crucial to ensure that you get the most value from your log stove The good news is that this is much easier than ever!
The amount of moisture in wood is one of the main factors that determines how efficient a wood-burning stove is. We recommend using only dried and seasoned wood that has dried for at least one year and in many cases 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 a low carbon source of fuel, which is fantastic for the environment. When you purchase locally-sourced wood, you are also helping to contribute to the active conservation and management of woodlands. This is beneficial for wildlife.
In terms of maintenance concerned, the only requirement for a wood stove is to frequently scoop up and dispose of the ash. It’s a bit of a hassle but it’s worth it to get the best heat from every log. If you allow the ashes 2-3 days to cool completely, they can also be used as a non-toxic, green melting ice. They can also be used to polish jewellery and absorb the odors.
A fireplace that burns wood is an old-fashioned classic. Although they’re less well-known than gas fireplaces, the allure and charm of a fire that is roaring can’t be disregarded. They’re great for snuggling with on cold winter nights and are a perfect method of creating a warm and inviting space inside your home.

Low Carbon
Burners that are efficient and clean are among the best ways to save money on logs and keep your home warm. They also aid local woodland management. This is an excellent option to help the wildlife that lives in your neighborhood.
Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create very little pollution if they are properly maintained and are used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. If they aren’t properly maintained or when they use wood of poor quality, the smoke that is produced contains fine particles commonly referred to as particulate pollution that can cause irritation to lung organs and other body organs. Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic like formaldehyde and benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also in the. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation to the lungs and cause asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and lung irritation. It may also cause heart disease, cancer or premature death.
Some people fear that using a wood burning stove can cause climate change, but this is not necessarily the case. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon-neutral. The wood absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its lifetime. When burned, the carbon is released into the atmosphere.
Because the wood is harvested locally this decreases the amount of pollution that is released in the process of transportation. It is essential to select hardwoods that are well-seasoned and of top quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.
Modern wood stoves, such as the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit significantly less pollutant than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet 2020 EPA standards which are considerably more stringent than previous emissions limits.
To prevent a build-up of exhaust in your home, all wood-burning stoves must be vented completely to the outside. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean-burn stoves produce extremely clear exhaust by keeping the flames in the vicinity of the wood logs and by using dry and seasoned firewood.
A wood-burning stove that has a catalytic converter or hybrid unit can offer the ultimate low-carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite gasses and particles released from the initial burning in a second phase by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are transferred to a catalytic unit for a final third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels far below the government standards.
Clean Burn
Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest efficiency. This results in the emission of a small amount of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and venting of gases to ensure that the combustion process takes place in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the flame height to reduce emissions and maximize heat output.
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 wheezing and coughing in people and contributes to the development of heart disease as well as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health issues. Wood burning can also contribute to poor air quality in cities.
Smoke from poorly combusted wood has fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutant such as carbon monoxide as well as other harmful air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can penetrate deep into the lungs and other organs which can cause discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate the surfaces in your home and give the impression of a rough surface to rooms.
When using your wood-burning fireplace, it’s important to only use firewood of the highest quality that has been seasoned and dried. The most valuable woods for heating are hardwoods such as beech, ash, and oak. Hardwoods are dense and have a higher BTU content than softwoods. They also have more heat.
Contact your local authority to find out whether they have any regulations regarding wood burning. These rules could include rules on odors and nuisances and visible smoke emissions or smoke opacity limits.
If you have a wood stove with glass doors it is important to keep the glass free of dirt and deposits. You can use a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray for this. You can also add bicarbonate soda and water to the glass.
Regular maintenance of your stove and chimney is also crucial. 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 extend the life of your wood stove.
Low Maintenance
Many people opt to install 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. Fireplaces can also be an excellent source of warmth when the power goes out, especially during winter, when snow storms could cause branches to fall from trees and rip down power lines.
Using a wood burner for heating will reduce your carbon footprint considerably in comparison to other fossil fuel sources such as gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are made to meet EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards which mean they produce very low emissions. The more well-seasoned wood is and the better it is, the more efficient it will be and you’ll use less of it to get the same amount of heat.
These fireplaces require some maintenance and attention, such as ensuring they are positioned away from burning materials and a screening is installed. Making sure the grate is free of debris and ash will aid in the flow of air and prevent the fire from dying too quickly and keep your home clean. You should have your stove and chimney cleaned every year at least two times to prevent creosote build-up which could create a dangerous fire hazard and obstructions that could hinder circulation.
It can take a while for homeowners who are new to the area to learn how to light, ignite and maintain a constant fire in the fireplace. Once you’ve achieved the art of creating and maintaining the fire in your wood burner, it can be a source of lasting pleasure that can provide warmth and warmth to your home all year long.
Wood burning fireplaces have been in use in one form or another for over 500 years and have rediscovered their popularity because of their energy efficiency as well as their sustainability and natural warmth and aroma of real wood.
