How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner fireplace suites

Unlike traditional open fireplaces wood stoves are engineered and designed to burn firewood. This enables them to comply with stricter emission standards.

Wood burning stoves are renowned for their warm, yellow flames that dance, crackling sound and that innate sensation of warmth. However the smoke they release includes carbon monoxide and harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves that are wood-burning are not just stunning, but they are also incredibly efficient. A top-quality wood stove can be eco-friendly up to 77%. It is vital to get the most out of your log burner, especially with increasing energy costs. The good thing is that it's now easier than ever before to do!

The moisture content of firewood is an important factor that determines how efficient a wood-burning stove is. We recommend using only well-seasoned wood that has been dried for at least one year, and often two years. The more dry the wood is, the better it burns. This results in lesser smoke and fewer harmful emissions.

Another great benefit of a wood burning stove is that it's a low carbon source of fuel, which is excellent for the environment. In addition, by buying locally sourced firewood you are helping to promote the active management of woodlands which is a good thing for wildlife.

In terms of maintenance involved, the sole requirement of a wood burner is to frequently remove and scoop up the ash. This can be a bit of a hassle, but is well worth it to ensure you get the maximum heat from each and every log. If you wait for the ashes to cool completely and then, they can be utilized as a non-toxic and environmentally friendly ice melt. They can also be used to polish jewellery and absorb odors.

A fireplace that burns wood is an old-fashioned classic. Although they're not as popular than gas fires, there is no denying the charm and allure of a roaring log fire. These fires are perfect to cuddle to on cold winter evenings, and they create a warm and welcoming area in your home. A high-quality wood burner will pay for itself for a long time.

Low Carbon

Wood burners that are efficient and clean are among the most efficient ways to save the cost of logs while keeping your home warm. They also aid local woodland management. This is an excellent method to support wildlife in your area.

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create very little pollution if they are maintained properly and used with dry, seasoned firewood. However, if they're not maintained well or made of poor quality wood the smoke generated by them contains fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can cause irritation to the lungs and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation of the lung and lead to asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and lung irritation. It could also cause heart disease, cancer or premature death.

Some people are concerned that wood-burning stoves contribute to climate change however this isn't true. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon neutral. In the course of the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when it is burnt, the carbon absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is local, which decreases the amount of pollution emitted in the transportation process. It is important to use hardwoods that are well-seasoned and of high quality. They will burn longer and more evenly 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 significantly more stringent than previous emissions limits.

To avoid the buildup of exhaust within your home, all wood-burning stoves should be vented fully to the outside. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean-burn stoves produce clear exhaust when keeping the flames at a distance from the wood logs and using dry well-seasoned, clean firewood.

A wood-burning stove that has a catalytic converter or hybrid unit can offer the ultimate low-carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite gasses and particles that were ignited during the initial combustion in a subsequent phase by mixing them superheated air. The remaining gasses and particulates are transferred to a catalytic unit for a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels that are below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the best efficiency that is achievable. This results in the emission of a small amount of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and venting of gases to ensure that the combustion process is conducted in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates the flame's height to maximise the output of heat and reduce emissions.

This means your chimney and its surroundings will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also called particle pollution) from wood that is not fully combusted causes respiratory issues like wheezing and coughing in people and can contribute to the development of heart disease as well as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health problems. Wood burning is also a contributor to poor air quality in cities.

The smoke that is emitted from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate matter and dangerous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can get into the lungs and other organs, causing discomfort and damage and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate the surfaces in your home, and can give the impression of a rough surface to rooms.

It is important to select high-quality, seasoned and dried firewood for your wood burner fireplace. Hardwoods such as oak beech, ash and are the best for heating. Hardwoods are extremely dense and have higher BTU content than softwoods. They also have more heat.

You should also determine if your local authority has regulations regarding wood burning. These may include nuisance/odor rules and visible emissions, or smoke opacity limits.

If you have a wood burner with a glass door it is essential to keep the glass clear of grime and deposits. This can be done using a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray. Alternately, you can add bicarbonate of soda mixed with a small amount of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance of your stove and chimney is also vital. This includes regular chimney cleanings that remove creosote as well as ensure proper functioning of the flue. It is also important to mark the dates of periodic inspections on your calendar. This will help you avoid costly repairs and prolong the life of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Many people choose to install wood burning fireplaces because of the warmth and natural beauty they provide. However, this type of fire requires some upkeep and maintenance. If it is not maintained and cleaned regularly the chimney, flue, and stove could all be potential sources of fires within your home. Fireplaces can also be an excellent source of heat when power is out, especially in winter when snow storms can cause branches to fall from trees and knock down under-hanging power lines.

When you use a wood stove to heat your home, you can reduce your carbon footprint when compared to other fossil fuel sources like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts have been designed to comply with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards which mean they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more well-seasoned wood you use the more efficient the stove will be. You'll require less wood to generate the same amount of heat.

The fireplaces require some attention and maintenance. They should be placed away from materials that ignite and have a screen in place. Keeping the grate clear of debris and ash will aid in the flow of air and prevent the fire from dying out quickly. It will also help keep your home clean. You should have your chimney and stove swept at least twice per year to prevent creosote build-up, which can be a fire hazard and a blockage that can hinder ventilation.

A wood burning stove has to be tended constantly and it could take some time for a beginner homeowner to understand how to light, ignite and maintain a steady fire in the fireplace. Once you've mastered the art of lighting, your wood burning stove will be an ideal source of warmth and comfort within your home.

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