Choosing a Modern Wood Burner

The selection of the right wood stove involves consideration of factors such as the heating capacity, size and design, combustion technology and materials, as well as aesthetics maintenance and safety features. A properly selected and modern wood burner will meet your heating requirements, improve the ambience of your home, and be in line with your environmental standards.

Look for features that help you maintain your stove and keep the glass crystal clear. Select a wood stove with a self-cleaning glass.

Ease of maintenance and cleaning

When selecting your wood burner, it is important to take into consideration the ease of cleaning and maintenance that the stove provides. Look for stoves that have ash pans or trays that make it simple to clean the ash residue. In addition, you should look for stoves that have easy-access mechanisms for cleaning the flue as well as the chimney. Many modern wood heater stove burning fireplaces come with self-cleaning doors. This makes them an excellent option for those who want to cut down on the amount of work required to maintain and clean.

The frequency at which you must clean your stove will depend on the fuel you're using and the efficiency with which it burns. If you are burning wood, you will have to clean your stove more often as the tar on the glass has to be removed more frequently than when burning softer coals. You can use a glass cleaning product to reduce the amount of tar that forms on the window of your stove. Be certain to read the directions as too much cleaner may damage the glass.

Many modern woodburning fireplace and multifuel stoves also come with an airwash system, which helps keep the windows clear. The system works by circulating air through the glass from above, which helps prevent the build up of the tar and helps to see the flames within the stove.

For more regular cleaning you should be checking the ashpan each time you cook and empty it when necessary. It is recommended that you empty the ashpan at least once each four to six weeks. Contact your installer or manufacturer if you're not certain how frequently to empty your ashpan.

Energy efficiency

When compared with electric and gas-fired stoves, modern wood burners are extremely energy efficient and convert 70% of the organic material directly into heat. This is a huge advantage for those looking to reduce their heating expenses while being more self-sufficient and adopting renewable sources of fuel.

Manufacturers of stoves have adapted to the growing demands of the market by introducing advanced technology that reduces particulate emission drastically. A majority of new fireplaces that burn wood have been certified to emit less than 2.0 grams of fine particles in full operation. This is an amazing accomplishment that was unimaginable just a few short years back.

In addition wood-burning stoves are carbon neutral forms of heating when using responsibly harvested wood logs. In their growth phase, trees take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and when burned to heat, they release the same amount of CO2 back into the air. This is a positive cycle that is more beneficial for the planet than fossil fuels such as gas, which produces 0.198kg of CO2 for every Kilowatt and electricity, which creates an expensive amount of 0.517kg for each kilowatt.

A wood-burning stove as your secondary source of heating can help to reduce the strain on the national grid during peak nighttime consumption times. The use of a wood burner together with a condensing boiler, pellet boiler or air-source heat pumps is the perfect combination for an eco-friendly and affordable home heating system.

Durability

Wood burning stoves are a green alternative for heating. As long as the wood used is obtained in a responsible manner and properly managed, it's carbon neutral. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, and when they're burned the carbon is released back into the atmosphere, completing the cycle.

Modern wood stoves are constructed to last for a long time. They're made from high-quality materials that are resistant to warping or damage from excessive heat. They also come with easy-to-clean combustion systems that help reduce the amount of soot and smoke generated by the stove. You can even choose a cheap wood burner stove with an auto-ignition mechanism that means you don't need to manually light the fire each time you use it.

Unlike other forms of heat, wood burning fireplace is relatively affordable on a per-bTU basis. It is also less volatile than fossil-fuels, so heating costs will remain constant year after year.

If you're looking for a stove that provides the best combination of efficiency, durability and visual appeal, look at this model from Mendip. The widescreen window allows for an amazing view of the flames, and there is plenty of space below the firebox to store logs. It's also DEFRA-approved and meets Ecodesign standards and has clearSkies level five credentials.

The Holborn 7 by British manufacturer Esse provides a different attractive option for wood burning. This slender multi-fuel stove is DEFRA-approved and has a good seasonal efficiency of 80%. The large window provides a great view of the flame and is equipped with an air-wash system to keep it clean. It is available in both traditional colors as well as contemporary colours. The model features a clever, catalytic combustor that can be used with briquettes, coal or logs.

Style

Modern wood burning stoves are available in various styles that can be suited to any house. They can be designed to suit any type of space and are available in a wide variety of colors to match your interior design. A lot of them have decorative trims and details that improve their appearance. You can even pick a stove with an integrated log store which can help to keep your fireplace neat and neat.

Modern log burners are constructed to a high standard and have earned a reputable reputation for reliability. Modern technology for combustion allows them to efficiently burn wood and reduce emissions, making them an environmentally green alternative to traditional open fires. Modern stoves can reduce the amount of particulate matter (PM) released by up to 50 percent, and some are even capable of reducing the emissions of dioxins and furans.

The most recent generation of wood burners use a second combustion process to burn the creosote which is produced when burning wooden fuel. This can be done either directly or by passing the wood through a catalytic converter which aids in cleaning the atmosphere in your home. It is important to note that some stoves emit a small amount of PM from the chimney.

The Go Eco by Stovax is an example of a very efficient modern wood stove that produces very low PM. The stove is 5kW and has a large windows that resemble portholes. It is kept clean with an airwash system. It also provides a decent heat output for mid-sized rooms. It is also DEFRA certified and Ecodesign compliant. This means it is an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their existing fireplace or add an extra heating source.

Safety

A wood stove is an excellent source of heat, but it can also cause harmful particles to release into the air. These are referred to as particulate matter and can have a negative impact on our health and increase the risk of developing respiratory illnesses. Thankfully, modern wood stoves are designed to minimize these emissions. Ecodesign stoves are made to meet European directives regarding particulate matter. They use a hotter fireplace to re-ignite combustion particles and reduce emissions. This means they need less logs to generate the same amount of heat as other stoves.

The most effective method to reduce emissions is to use wood fuel that has been approved by the Woodsure Ready to Burn Scheme and only dry wood that has seasoned for at least two weeks. Avoid using unseasoned wood or briquettes as they can cause high levels harmful gases and smoke.

To prevent a build-up of ash, it's essential to keep the flame burning low until the ashes are removed. Other measures to protect yourself include closing the door when not tending to the flame, and never touching the flue pipe or stove until it is completely cooled and always putting out the stove before leaving the house or going to sleep.

You should also get your stove checked by an engineer annually to ensure it's functioning correctly. This will help reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, organic gaseous compounds and particulate matter. It will also ensure that the flue gas temperature remains at or above 250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degC), which is critical for safe operation of corner wood burner stoves.
