It is vital to get the most benefit of your log burner in light of rising energy costs. The good news is that it's now easier than ever before to do!

One of the main factors that determines the efficiency of a wood-burning stove can be will be the moisture content of the firewood. We recommend using only dried and seasoned wood that has dried over a period of at least one year and in many cases two years. The more dry the wood more dry, the better it burns. This means less smoke, and less harmful emissions.

Another great benefit of a wood-burning stove is that it's an eco-friendly source of fuel, which is fantastic for the environment. In addition, by buying locally-sourced firewood, you're helping to support the active management of forests which is a good option for wildlife.

In terms of maintenance involved, the sole requirement for a wood burner is to remove and scoop up the ash. This can be a little bit of a nuisance, but it's worth it in order to ensure you get most heat from every log.

If properly maintained wood-burning stoves and fireplaces emit very little pollutant when they are operated with dry and seasoned firewood. If they aren't properly maintained or when they use wood that is of poor quality, the smoke that is produced contains fine particles, commonly referred to as particulate pollution that can cause irritation to the lung organs and other body organs. Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic such as formaldehyde and benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also present. Inhaling air pollution can cause lung irritation and trigger asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and lung irritation. It could also cause cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Many are concerned that wood-burning stoves can cause climate change however this isn't true. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. Throughout the lifetime of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burnt, the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is produced locally, which reduces the amount pollution that is produced during the transport process. It is also important to select top quality, seasoned hardwoods as these will provide a longer and more even burn 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 stringent than the previous emission limits.

To avoid 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 ensuring you make use of dry, seasoned wood, all our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves can produce very clear exhaust. They also have particle levels of 60 or more lower than the DEFRA limit.

A wood-burning stove that has an integrated unit or catalytic converter could be the ultimate low carbon heating option. These units ignite the gasses and particulates from the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then transported through a catalytic combustion unit for a final third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels far below the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest efficiency. This results in the emission of minimal particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and exhaust of gases to ensure that the combustion process is conducted in a sealed and controlled environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to minimize emissions and increase the heat output.

This means your chimney and the surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also called particle pollution) from incompletely combusted wood can cause respiratory problems like wheezing and coughing in people and can lead to the development of heart diseases such as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health issues. Wood burning can also contribute to poor air quality in cities.

Smoke from poorly burned timber is a source of fine particulate pollutants as well as harmful air pollutants 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 get into the lung and other organs, causing damage, discomfort and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate surfaces within your home, giving them a gritty feel.

It's important to use only high-quality, seasoned and dried firewood for your wood burner fireplace. Hardwoods such as oak beech, ash, and ash are the best choice for heating. Hardwoods have a higher density and BTU content. They also offer more heat than softwoods.

Contact your local authority to find out whether they have rules about wood burning. These rules may include rules regarding odors or nuisances, as well as visible emissions or smoke opacity limitations.

If you have a wood burner with glass doors it is essential to keep the glass clear of grime and deposits. You can use a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray to accomplish this. Alternatively, you can add bicarbonate of soda mixed with a bit of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is essential for your chimney and stove. This includes regular chimney cleanings to remove creosote as well as ensure proper operation of the flue.

They also provide warmth in the event of an electrical outage, particularly during winter storms where tree branches can fall and power lines can be knocked down.

Using a wood stove for heating will reduce your carbon footprint substantially compared to other fossil fuel sources, such as gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts have been designed to conform to EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means they produce very low emissions. The more well-seasoned wood that you use the more efficient your stove will be. You'll require less wood to get the same heat.

The marble fireplaces require some attention and maintenance. They should be kept away from the combustible materials and have a screen installed. Keeping the grate clear of ash and debris will allow airflow and prevent the fire from dying too quickly. Also, it will keep your indoors clean. It is recommended that your stove and chimney cleaned at least twice per year to prevent the build-up of creosote which could create a fire hazard and a clog that can restrict ventilation.
