This results in less smoke, and less harmful emissions.

If properly maintained, wood-burning fireplaces and stoves emit very little pollutant when they are used with dry and seasoned wood. However, if they're not maintained properly or are made of poor quality wood the smoke that is produced by them is contaminated with fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can cause irritation to the lung and other organs. Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic such as formaldehyde and benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also found in. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation to the lungs and lead to asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and irritation of the lungs. It could also cause cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people worry that using a wood-burning stove could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. In the course of the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when burned the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is produced locally, which reduces the amount of pollution released during transportation. It is crucial to choose hardwoods that have been seasoned and of high quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, such as the ones made by Charlton & Jenrick, emit significantly less pollutant than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet 2020 EPA standards, which are significantly more strict than previous emissions limits.

A wood-burning stove that has a hybrid unit or catalytic converter is the most efficient low carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite gases and particles that were ignited during the initial combustion in a second phase by mixing them superheated air. The remaining gasses and particulates are pumped through a catalytic combustion unit for a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels that are below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the greatest efficiency that is achievable. This results in the release of minimal particles into the air when burning wood. The stove's air management system controls the intake and venting of gases, making sure that the combustion process takes place in a controlled, sealed environment. It also regulates the flame height to minimise emissions and maximise heat output.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be a lot cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also referred to as particle pollution, is a result of wood that is not properly burned can cause respiratory issues, such as wheezing and coughing, and contribute to heart diseases, stroke, diabetes, and other serious ailments. Wood burning is also a contributor to poor air quality in cities.

Smoke from poorly combusted wood has fine particulate pollution and harmful air pollutants such as carbon monoxide as well as other harmful air pollutants like nitrogen oxides as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can penetrate deep into the lungs, and other organs causing discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also harm the surfaces of your home and give an unpleasant sludge-like feel to rooms.

When using your wood-burning fireplace, it's important to only use high-quality firewood that has been seasoned and dried. The most efficient woods for heating are hardwoods such as oak, ash and beech. Hardwoods have a high density and BTU content and they provide more heat than softwoods.

It is also important to determine if your local authority has rules regarding wood burning. These rules may include rules regarding odors and nuisances and visible emissions or smoke opacity restrictions.

It is important to keep the glass of a wood stove with an open front that is free of grime and deposits. This can be done using a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray. You can also add bicarbonate soda mixed with water to the glass.

Regular maintenance of your stove and chimney is also vital. 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 diary, as this will allow you to avoid expensive repairs and prolong the lifespan of your wood stove.

Low Maintenance

Wood burning electric fireplaces are very popular because they offer natural warmth. This type of fireplace requires a bit of maintenance and upkeep.

Fireplaces are also an excellent source of heat when the power goes out, especially in winter, when snow storms could cause branches to fall from trees and rip up power lines.

Using a wood stove to heat your home can reduce your carbon footprint considerably in comparison to other fossil fuel sources, such as gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts have been designed to comply with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards which mean they produce very low emissions. The more well-seasoned the wood is and the better it is, the more efficient it will be as well and you'll use less of it to get the same amount of heat.

These fireplaces require some upkeep and attention, including making sure they are positioned away from combustible materials and a screen is installed. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and other debris. This will keep the fire burning longer and your home tidy. You should have your stove and chimney swept at least twice per year to avoid creosote accumulation which could be a fire hazard and a clog that can restrict the flow of air.
