The more dry the wood the more efficiently it burns which means less smoke and harmful emissions.

Another benefit of a wood-burning stove is that it's a low carbon source of fuel, which is excellent for the environment. Additionally, by purchasing locally sourced firewood you are aiding in the management of woodlands which is a good thing for wildlife.

In terms of maintenance concerned, the primary requirement for a wood burner is to take out and dispose of the ash. It can be a bit of a nuisance, but it's worth it in order to ensure you get the maximum heat from each and every log.

When they are not properly maintained or when they make use of wood that is not of high quality the smoke produced is a result of fine particles, commonly referred to as particulate pollution that can cause irritation to the the lungs and other organs of the body. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause lung irritation and cause asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and irritation of the lungs. It can also lead to heart disease, cancer or premature death.

Some people worry that using a wood-burning stove could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. The wood absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its lifespan. When burned the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

Since the wood is sourced locally this decreases the amount of pollution emitted in the process of transportation. It is essential to select hardwoods that are seasoned and of high quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, like the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit much less pollution 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 within your home, all wood burning stoves should be vented to the outside. By keeping flames above the logs and making sure you use dry, seasoned wood, all our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves produce very clear exhaust. They also have particulate levels that are 60 or more lower than the DEFRA limit.

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

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest possible efficiency. This results in minimal dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and venting of gases to ensure that the combustion process is conducted in a sealed and controlled environment. It also regulates the flame's height to minimize emissions and increase the heat output.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be a lot cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) from wood that is not fully combusted causes respiratory issues like coughing and wheezing in people and can contribute to the development of heart diseases as well as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health issues. Air pollution from wood burning is also a contributory factor in poor urban air quality.

The smoke that is emitted from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutants like carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can penetrate deep into the lung and other organs, causing damage, discomfort and even death. Dust particles from the air can also damage the surfaces of your home, and can give a gritty feel to rooms.

By using a wood stove to heat your home, you'll be able to reduce your carbon footprint compared to other fossil sources of energy like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are designed to meet EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means 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 achieve the same amount of heat.

Fireplaces require some care and maintenance. They should be placed away from the combustible materials and have a screen. The air flow can be improved by keeping the grate clean of ash and debris. This will keep the fire burning longer and your home tidy. It is recommended that your stove and chimney cleaned at least twice per year to prevent creosote build-up which could create a dangerous fire hazard and obstructions that could hinder circulation.
