How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

Wood stoves, in contrast to traditional open fireplaces, are designed to use wood for combustion. This allows them to meet stricter emission regulations.

Wood burning stoves provide dancing yellow flames, cosy crackling sounds, and that primordial feeling of warmth. However the smoke they release is contaminated with carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

The drier the wood the more efficiently it burns which means less smoke and less harmful emissions.

A wood-burning stove also has the benefit of being a low-carbon fuel source, which is great for the environment. If you buy locally-sourced wood, you also help to contribute to the active conservation and management of forests. This is great for wildlife.

However, if they are not maintained properly or are using wood of poor quality the smoke generated by them is contaminated with fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can irritate the lungs and other 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 lead to asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and lung irritation. It can also lead to heart disease, cancer or premature death.

Some people worry that using a wood burning stove will contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. The wood absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its life. When it is burned, the carbon is released into the air.

The wood is sourced locally, which reduces the amount of pollution released during transportation. It is also important to select top quality well-seasoned hardwoods, as they will give an extended and even burn than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, like those manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit significantly less pollutant than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet 2020 EPA standards, which are significantly more stringent than previous emissions limits.

All wood-burning stoves must be fully vented to the outside of your property to ensure they do not create a haze of exhaust in your house.

A wood burning stove with a catalytic converter or a hybrid unit can offer the ultimate low-carbon option for heating. These units ignite the gasses and particulates from the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining particulates and gasses through a catalytic combustor for the third and final combustion, further reducing emissions to a level that is well below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the highest efficiency that is achievable. This results in a minimum amount of dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and venting of gases to ensure that the combustion process occurs in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the flame's height to maximise heat output and minimise emissions.

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

The smoke from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutants such as carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can reach deep into the lung and other organs, causing damage, discomfort and even death. Dust particles from the air can also damage the surfaces of your home and create the impression of a rough surface to rooms.

It is essential to use only top quality, seasoned, and dried firewood when using your fireplace with a wood burner. The most valuable woods for heating are hardwoods such as beech, ash, and oak. Hardwoods have a higher density and BTU content. They also provide more heat than softwoods.
