This means less smoke, and less 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. Additionally, by purchasing locally-sourced firewood, you're helping to support the active management of woodlands which is a good aspect for wildlife.

As far as maintenance is concerned, the primary requirement for a wood burner is to frequently scoop up and dispose of the ash. This can be a bit of a nuisance, but it is worth it in order to ensure you get most heat from every log. If you allow the ashes 2-3 days to cool completely and then, they can be used as a non-toxic and eco-friendly ice melt. They can be used to polish jewelry and absorb the odors.

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

Some people are concerned that wood-burning stoves will cause climate change, but this isn't necessarily true. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon-neutral. The wood absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its life. When burned carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

As the wood is sourced locally, it reduces the amount of pollution emitted during transportation. It is essential to select hardwoods that have been seasoned and of high quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

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

To avoid the buildup of exhaust within your home, all wood-burning stoves must be vented completely to the outside. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean-burn stoves produce clear exhaust when keeping the flames above the wood logs and by using dry well-seasoned, clean firewood.

A wood-burning stove that has a catalytic converter or a hybrid unit could provide the most efficient low-carbon solution for heating. These units ignite gasses and particles from the initial combustion in a subsequent phase by mixing them superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then transported through a catalytic combustion unit for a final third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels far below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest efficiency possible. This results in the emission of very small particles into air when burning wood. The stove's air management system regulates the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring the combustion process is conducted in a closed, controlled environment. It also regulates the flame's height to maximize heat output and minimize emissions.

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

Smoke from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollutants and dangerous air pollutants like carbon monoxide, as well as other dangerous air pollutants like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can penetrate deep into the lung and other organs and cause discomfort, 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.

The stone fireplaces need some care and maintenance. They should be kept away from materials that ignite and have a screen. Air flow will be improved by keeping the grate clean of ash and debris. This will ensure that the fire is burning longer and your home tidy. It is recommended that your stove and chimney swept at least twice a year to avoid creosote accumulation which could cause fire hazards or blockage and limit the airflow.
