Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create very little pollutant if they are properly maintained and are used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. When they are not properly maintained or use wood of poor quality the smoke produced contains fine particles, also known as particulate pollutants that can cause irritation to the lung organs and other body organs. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic 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 may also cause cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood-burning stove could contribute to climate change however this isn't necessarily the case. Burning wood is a carbon-neutral energy source. Through the life 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 sourced locally, which reduces the amount of pollution produced during the transport process. It is crucial to choose hardwoods that are well-seasoned and of high quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, including the ones made by Charlton & Jenrick, emit much less pollution than older stoves. They are certified to meet 2020 EPA standards, which are considerably more strict than earlier emission limits.

To avoid the buildup of exhaust in your home, all wood-burning stoves should be vented fully to the outside. All our current DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can create very clear exhaust by keeping the flames above the wood logs and using dry and seasoned firewood.

A wood-burning stove that has a catalytic converter is the best low carbon heating option. These units re-ignite the gases and particulates that were ignited during the initial combustion at a later stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then transported through a catalytic combustion unit for 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 efficiency. This results in the emission of very small particles into air when burning wood. The stove's air management system controls the intake and venting of gases, ensuring the combustion process occurs in a closed, controlled environment. It also regulates flame height to maximise the output of heat and reduce emissions.

This means that your chimney and surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also referred to as particle pollution, resulting from incompletely burned wood can trigger respiratory issues, such as wheezing and coughing, and contribute to heart diseases and stroke, diabetes and other serious conditions. Wood burning also contributes to poor air quality in cities.

Smoke from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollutants and hazardous air pollutant such as carbon monoxide and other hazardous air pollutants like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene, and formaldehyde. These particles can get into the lungs and other organs and cause discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate the surfaces of your home and create a gritty feel to rooms.

When you are using a fireplace that is wood-burning, it's important to only use high-quality firewood that has been properly seasoned and dried. Hardwoods like oak, ash, and beech are the best choice for heating. Hardwoods are extremely dense and have higher BTU than softwoods. They also provide more heat.

Check with your local authority to determine if they have any rules regarding wood burning. These may include nuisance/odor rules and visible emissions or smoke opacity limits.

If you have a wood stove with a glass door it is important to keep the glass clear of dirt and deposits. You can use a dry towel or oven cleaner spray to do this. Alternately, you can add bicarbonate of soda with a small amount of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance of your chimney and stove is also crucial. This includes regular chimney cleanings that remove creosote and ensure proper functioning of the flue. It is also recommended to note the dates of periodic inspections on your calendar. This will help you to avoid costly repairs and prolong your wood burner's life.

Many people choose to install wood-burning fireplaces due to the warmth and natural beauty they provide. However, this type of fire requires some upkeep and maintenance. The chimney, flue and stove are all potential sources of house fires if they are not maintained and cleaned regularly. These fireplaces also provide heat in the event of power outage, especially during winter storms, when branches of trees may fall and power lines can be damaged.

If you use a wood stove to heat your home, you'll be able to reduce your carbon footprint as compared to other fossil sources of energy like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are made to conform to EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means that they produce very low emissions. The more well-seasoned wood that you use the more efficient the stove will be. You'll need less wood to achieve the same amount of heat.

The fireplaces need some maintenance and care. They must be kept clear of combustible material and have a screen installed. Keeping the grate clear of ash and debris will allow airflow and prevent the fire from dying too quickly and keep your indoors clean. It is recommended that your chimney and stove swept at least twice per year to prevent creosote accumulation that could create fire hazards or blockage and hinder circulation.
