How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

Contrary to traditional open fireplaces, wood stoves are designed and optimised to burn wood. This allows them meet stricter emission standards.

Wood burning stoves emit glowing yellow flames that dance and warm crackling noises. They also give you a primal feeling of warmth. The smoke produced contains toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves that burn wood provide beautiful and natural heat to your home, and they are extremely efficient. A good quality wood burner can be able to achieve an Ecodesign rating as high as 77 percent. With the rising cost of energy, it is important to ensure you’re getting the maximum benefit from your log burner The good thing is that this is more simple than ever before!

The moisture content of 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 in many cases two years. The more dry the wood is more dry, the better it burns. This results in less smoke, and less harmful emissions.

A wood burning stove has the benefit of being an eco-friendly fuel source which is beneficial to the environment. When you purchase locally-sourced wood, you also help to contribute to the active management and conservation of woodlands. This is great for wildlife.

In terms of maintenance concerned, the primary requirement for a wood stove is to regularly take out and dispose of the ash. This can be a bit of a hassle, but it’s worth it to ensure you get most 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 ice melt. They can be used to polish jewelry and also absorb odors.

A wood burner fireplace is a truly timeless classic. Although they are less popular than gas fireplaces, their appeal and ambiance of a fire that is roaring can’t be disregarded. They’re great for snuggling up to on cold nights and are an ideal way to create an inviting and warm space within your home.

Low Carbon

Wood burners that burn efficiently and cleanly are the most effective option to save money while keeping your house warm. In addition, they also help to support local woodland management, a excellent way to help the wildlife that lives in your local area.

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create minimal pollution when they are maintained properly and operated with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. If they are not properly maintained or use wood that is of poor quality, the smoke that is produced contains fine particles, also known as particulate pollutants that can cause irritation to lungs and other body organs. It also contains carbon monoxide and harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation to the lungs and cause asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and irritation of the lungs. It could also cause cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Many people are concerned that using a wood-burning stove can cause climate change, but this is not necessarily the case. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. In the course of the life of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when it is burned, the carbon absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

Because the wood is harvested locally this decreases the amount of pollution emitted during transportation. It is important to use hardwoods that have been seasoned and of high quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick) have much lower emissions than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet 2020 EPA standards which are much more strict than previous emissions limits.

All wood burning stoves must be fully vented to the outside of your home to ensure that they do not cause a build-up of exhaust inside your home. All of our current DEFRA-exempt, clean burn stoves can produce very clear exhaust by keeping the flames in the vicinity of the logs of wood and using dry and seasoned firewood.

A wood-burning stove equipped with a hybrid unit or catalytic converter is the most efficient low carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite gases and particles from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gasses and particulates are transported through a catalytic combustion unit to create a final and third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels far below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest possible efficiency. This results in a minimum amount of emissions of particles into the air when burning wood. The stove’s air management system controls the intake and venting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process occurs in a closed, controlled atmosphere. It also regulates the flame’s height to maximise heat output and minimise emissions.

This means that your chimney and surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also called particle pollution) from incompletely combusted wood causes respiratory issues like wheezing and coughing in people and can contribute to the development of heart diseases as well as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health problems. The smoke caused by wood burning is an element that contributes to poor urban air quality.

Smoke from poorly combusted wood is a source of fine particulate pollutants as well as hazardous air pollutant such as carbon monoxide and other hazardous air pollutants like nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can get into the lungs and other organs causing discomfort, harm, and even death. Airborne dust can also harm the surfaces in your home, and can give the impression of a rough surface to rooms.

When using your wood-burning fireplace it is essential to use high-quality firewood that has been properly seasoned and dried. Hardwoods such as oak beech, ash, and ash are the best for heating. Hardwoods have a higher density and BTU content. They also offer more heat than softwoods.

You should also check whether your local authority has any rules regarding wood burning. These may include nuisance/odor rules and visible emissions or smoke opacity limits.

If you have a wood burner with glass doors, it’s important to keep the glass clean of deposits and grime. 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 vital. Regular chimney cleanings are required to get rid of creosote and ensure that the flue is operating properly. Also be sure to mark dates for periodic inspections in your calendar, since this will allow you to avoid costly repairs and extend the lifespan of your wood stove.

Low Maintenance

Wood burning fireplaces are very popular because they offer natural warmth. However, this kind of fire requires some upkeep and maintenance. If it is not maintained and cleaned regularly the chimney, flue, and stove can all be potential sources of fires in your home. They also provide warmth in the event of an electrical outage, especially during winter storms, when branches of trees may fall and power lines can be ripped down.

Using a wood burner to heat your home can reduce your carbon footprint substantially in comparison to other fossil fuel sources like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are made to comply with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards which mean they produce very low emissions. The more well-seasoned wood is, the more efficient it will be as well, so you’ll burn less 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. Keeping the grate clear of debris and ash will allow airflow, which will prevent the fire from dying out quickly. It will also help keep your indoors clean. It is important to have your stove and chimney swept at least twice per year to prevent the accumulation of creosote, which can cause a fire hazard or clog and limit ventilation.

A wood burning stove has to be maintained on a regular basis and it could take some time for a novice homeowner to learn how to light, ignite, and maintain a steady fire in the fireplace. Once you’ve learned the art of burning, your wood stove will become an ideal source of warmth and comfort in your home.

Wood burning fireplaces have been around in one form or another for over 500 years. They’ve gained a lot of attention due to their efficiency, sustainability and the natural warmth that comes from wood.
