How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner wall fireplace

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

Wood burning stoves create sparkling yellow flames and soft crackling noises. They also provide a primal feeling of warmth. The smoke that is generated is contaminated by air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Wood burning stoves and fireplaces offer a stunning and natural heat source to the home, but they are also incredibly efficient. A top-quality wood stove can have an Ecodesign rating of up to 77 percent. It is vital to get the most benefit of your log burner, especially with increasing energy costs. The good thing is that it's much easier than ever 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 over a period of at least one year, and in many cases two years. The more dry the wood is and the more efficient it is to burn. This means lesser smoke and fewer harmful emissions.

Another advantage of a wood burning stove is that it's a low carbon source of fuel, which is great 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.

The only thing a wood burning stove requires in terms of maintenance is to take away and dispose of ash. It can be quite a challenge, but it is worth it to get the best heat from every log. Furthermore that if you wait a couple of days for the ashes to completely cool and then reuse them as a non-toxic and eco-friendly ice melt. They can also be used to polish jewellery and absorb odors.

A wood-burning fireplace is an old-fashioned classic. Although they're less well-known than gas stone fireplaces, the appeal and charm of a fire that is roaring can't be denied. They are ideal to cuddle to on cold winter nights, and create a warm and welcoming area in your home. A high-quality wood stove will pay off for a long time.

Low Carbon

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

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create very little pollutant if they are maintained properly and used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. If they are not properly maintained or use wood of poor quality the smoke produced contains fine particles often referred to as particulate pollutants, which can irritate lung organs and other body organs. Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde and benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also found in. Inhaling this type of air pollution could cause lung irritation as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks. It can even cause serious health issues such as heart disease, cancer, or premature death.

Some people worry that using a wood-burning stove will contribute to climate change however this isn't necessarily the case. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its lifespan. When it is burned, the carbon is released into the atmosphere.

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

Modern wood stoves, such as the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit less carbon dioxide than older stoves. They have been certified to meet 2020 EPA standards which are significantly more stringent than the previous emission limits.

All wood-burning stoves must be fully vented to the outside of your home to ensure that they don't create a build-up of exhaust within your home. All our current DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can produce clear exhaust when keeping the flames in the vicinity of the wood logs and by using dry well-seasoned, clean firewood.

A wood-burning stove equipped with a catalytic converter can provide the best low carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite gasses and particles that were ignited during the initial burning in a second phase by mixing them with superheated air. They then funnel the remaining gasses and particulates through a catalytic combustion combustor for the third and final combustion, reducing emissions to a level well below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the best efficiency possible. This results in minimal dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and ventilation of gases to ensure that the combustion process takes place in a sealed and controlled environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximize the output of heat and reduce emissions.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also known as particle pollution, is a result of wood that is not properly burned can cause respiratory issues, like wheezing and coughing, and contribute to heart disease and stroke, diabetes and other serious illnesses. The air pollution resulting from wood burning is also an element that contributes to poor urban air quality.

The smoke that is emitted from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutants like carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can reach deep into the organs of the lungs, causing damage, discomfort and even death. Airborne dust can also harm the surfaces in your home and give an unpleasant sludge-like feel to rooms.

It's important to use only top quality, seasoned, and dried firewood when using your fireplace suite with a wood burner. The most valuable woods for heating are hardwoods, such as beech, oak and ash. Hardwoods are dense and BTU content, and they provide more heat than softwoods.

You should also determine if your local authority has regulations regarding wood burning. These may include rules regarding odors and nuisances and visible smoke emissions or smoke opacity restrictions.

It is important to keep the glass of a wood stove with an open front that is free of grime and deposits. This can be done with dry cloths or oven cleaner spray. You can also add bicarbonate of soda with a bit of water to the glass.

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

Low Maintenance

Wood burning fireplaces are popular because they offer natural warmth. This type of fireplace requires a bit of maintenance and upkeep. If it is not maintained and cleaned regularly the chimney, flue, and stove could all be potential sources of fires in your home. Fireplaces can also be an excellent source of heat when power is out, particularly in winter when snow storms can cause tree branches to fall and knock down under-hanging power lines.

Using a wood stove to heat your home can reduce your carbon footprint significantly in comparison to other fossil fuel sources, such as gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts and fireplaces electric are designed to conform to EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency) which means that they produce very little 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 heat.

These fireplaces require some maintenance and attention, such as ensuring they are placed away from combustible materials and a screen is installed. The air flow can be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and other debris. This will help keep the fire burning longer and your home clean. It is recommended that your stove and chimney swept at least twice per year to avoid creosote accumulation which could cause a Ethonal Fire hazard or clog and restrict ventilation.

It can take a while for homeowners who are new to the area to learn how to light, ignite and maintain a steady fire in the fireplace. Once you've learned the art of lighting, your wood burning stove will be an excellent source of warmth and comfort within your home.

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