How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner fireplace stove

Unlike traditional open fireplaces wood stoves are designed and optimised to burn wood. This allows them to meet stricter emission regulations.

Wood burning stoves create dancing yellow flames and cosy crackling sounds. They also provide warmth and a warm sensation. However, the smoke it creates includes carbon monoxide and harmful air pollutants, such as benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves that are wood-burning are not just beautiful, but also extremely efficient. A top-quality wood burner could have an Ecodesign rating of up to 77%. It is vital to get the most value of your log burner particularly with the increasing energy costs. The good thing is that it's easier than ever to do!

The amount of moisture in firewood is a key factor that determines how efficient a wood-burning stove is. We recommend using only well-seasoned wood that has been dried over a period of at least one year, and in some cases, two years. The more dry the wood and the more efficient it is to burn. This means less smoke, and less harmful emissions.

Another benefit of a wood burning stove is that it's a low carbon source of fuel, which is great for the environment. When you purchase locally-sourced wood, you are also helping to contribute to the active conservation and management of forests. This is great for wildlife.

In terms of maintenance concerned, the only requirement for a wood stove is to scoop up and dispose of the ash. It can be somewhat of a hassle however it is worth it to get the best heat from each log. If you allow the ashes to completely cool and then, they can be used as a non-toxic and eco-friendly melting ice. They can be used to polish jewelry and absorb the odors.

A fireplace with wood burning is an old-fashioned classic. Although they're not as popular than gas ethanol fires (allsp.ch), there is no denying the appeal and appeal of a warm log fire. These wall fires are perfect for snuggling up with on cold evenings, and they make a warm and inviting space in your home. Investing in a high-quality wood burner will pay for itself for many years.

Low Carbon

Wood burners that burn cleanly and efficiently are the best way to save money while keeping your home warm. In addition, they also aid in local woodland management, a great way of supporting the wildlife that lives in your area.

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create very little pollution if they are maintained properly and operated with dry, seasoned and fires dry firewood. However, if they're not maintained properly or are used with poor quality wood the smoke generated by them can contain fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can irritate the lungs and other organs. Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants such as benzene and formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also found in. Inhaling this kind of air pollution can cause lung irritation wheezing, coughing and asthma attacks and may even cause serious health issues such as cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people are concerned that wood-burning stoves can contribute to climate change However, fires this isn't true. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its lifetime. When burned the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

As the wood is sourced locally, this reduces the amount of pollutants released when it is transported. It is important to use hardwoods that are seasoned and of top quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those made by Charlton & Jenrick) have considerably lower emissions than earlier stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet the 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 they do not cause a build-up of exhaust in your house. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean-burn stoves produce very clear exhaust by keeping the flames in the vicinity of the logs of wood and using dry well-seasoned, clean firewood.

A wood burning stove with an acatalytic converter or hybrid unit can offer the ultimate low-carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite the gasses and particulates from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gasses and particulates are pumped through a catalytic combustion unit to create a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels that are below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are designed to burn fuel with the best efficiency possible. This results in the emission of a small amount of particles into the 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 atmosphere. It also regulates flame height to maximise heat output and minimise emissions.

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

The smoke from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollution as well as hazardous air pollutants such as carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds nitrogen oxides, benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can be absorbed into the lungs, and other organs, causing discomfort, harm, and even death. Airborne dust can also damage surfaces in your home with a smudge-like feeling.

When using your wood-burning fireplace suites it is important to make use of high-quality firewood that has been properly seasoned and dried. Hardwoods like oak, ash, and beech are the best for heating. Hardwoods have a higher density and BTU content, and they offer more heat than softwoods.

Contact your local authority to see whether they have any regulations regarding wood burning. These could include nuisance/odor regulations and visible emissions, or the opacity limit for smoke.

It is essential to keep the glass of a wood stove with a glass front free of deposits and dirt. You can use a dry towel or oven cleaner spray to accomplish this. You can also add bicarbonate soda mixed with water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is crucial for your stove and chimney. This includes regular chimney cleanings that remove creosote and ensure the proper operation of the flue. Also be sure to mark dates for regular inspections in your diary, as this will allow you to avoid costly repairs and prolong the longevity of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Many people choose to install wood-burning fireplaces due to the warmth and natural beauty they provide. This kind of fireplace requires some maintenance and upkeep. The chimney, flue, and stove are all possible sources of house fires if they are not maintained and cleaned regularly. These fireplaces are also a great source of heat when power is out, especially during winter, when snow storms could cause branches to fall from trees and knock down under-hanging power lines.

Utilizing a wood burner to heat your home can reduce your carbon footprint significantly in comparison to other fossil fuel sources like gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts and fireplaces are built to comply with EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency), which means they produce very little emissions. The more well-seasoned wood is the more efficient it will be and you'll use less of it to get the same amount of heat.

They require some maintenance and attention, such as ensuring they are placed away from burning materials and a screening is installed. Cleaning the grate of debris and ash will help air flow, which will prevent the fire from dying out too quickly. Also, it will keep your home clean. It is important to have your stove and chimney swept at least twice per year to avoid creosote accumulation which could cause an fire hazard or blockage and restrict ventilation.

It could take a while for homeowners who are new to the area to learn to ignite, light and maintain a continuous fire in the fireplace. But, once you've learned the art of creating and maintaining a fire in your wood burner, it will be a source of constant enjoyment that provides heat and warmth for your home all year long.

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