How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner fireplace suite

Contrary to traditional open fireplaces, wood stoves are designed and optimised to burn wood. This allows them to meet tighter emissions regulations.

Wood burning stoves emit glowing yellow flames that dance and warm crackling sounds. They also provide a primal feeling of warmth. However the smoke they release includes carbon monoxide and harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Wood burning stoves and fireplaces provide a beautiful and natural heat to your home, and they are extremely efficient. A top-quality wood stove can be eco-friendly up to 77%. It is essential to get the most value of your wood burner in light of rising energy costs. The good thing is that it's now easier than ever before to do!

A key factor in how effective the wood-burning stove is is the water content of the wood. This is the reason we suggest only using wood that is seasoned, which has been dried for a minimum of one year, but more often two years. The dryer the wood is, the more efficiently it burns, which results in less smoke and harmful emissions.

Another benefit of a wood-burning stove is that it's a low carbon source of fuel, which is great for the environment. When you purchase locally-sourced wood, you also help to support the active conservation and management of forests. This is great for wildlife.

As far as maintenance is concerned, the only requirement for a wood burner is to regularly take out and dispose of the ash. It can be a bit of a hassle but it's worth it to get the most heat from every log. If you wait for the ashes 2-3 days to completely cool and then, they can be used as a non-toxic and green melting ice. They can also be used to polish jewellery and remove smells.

Low Carbon

Burners that burn clean and efficiently are among the most efficient ways to save the cost of logs while keeping your home warm. In addition, they also aid in local woodland management, which is a fantastic way to support the wildlife that lives in your local environment.

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

Some people fear 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. Through the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when burned the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is produced locally, which reduces the amount of pollution produced during the transport process. It is also essential to select high-quality well-seasoned hardwoods, as they will provide a longer and more even burning time than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, including the ones made by Charlton & Jenrick, emit significantly less pollutant than older stoves. They are certified to meet 2020 EPA standards that are significantly stricter than previous emission 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 can create very clear exhaust by keeping the flames above the logs of wood and using dry and seasoned firewood.

A wood-burning stove with a hybrid unit or catalytic converter can provide the best low carbon heating option. These units ignite gasses and particles that were ignited during the initial burning in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then transported through a catalytic combustion unit for a final and third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels far below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest efficiency possible. This means that there are fewer dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and exhaust of gases to ensure the combustion process occurs in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates flame height to maximise the output of heat and reduce emissions.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also called particle pollution) caused by incomplete combustion of wood can cause respiratory problems like wheezing and coughing and contributes to the development of heart disease such as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health problems. Wood burning is also a contributor to poor air quality in cities.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate matter and dangerous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can penetrate deep into the lungs and other organs, causing discomfort and harm, and even death. Airborne dust can also damage surfaces in your home with a smudge-like feeling.

When using your wood-burning fireplace, it's important to only use high-quality firewood that has been seasoned and dried. The most valuable woods for heating are hardwoods like beech, oak and ash. Hardwoods have a higher density and BTU content. They also provide more heat than softwoods.

Check with your local authority to find out whether they have rules concerning wood burning. These rules could include rules on odors and nuisances, as well as visible emissions or smoke opacity limits.

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

Regular maintenance of your stove and chimney is also essential. Regular chimney cleanings are required to remove creosote, and to ensure that the flue is working correctly. You should also mark the dates of your periodic inspections on your calendar. This will help you to prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Wood burning wooden fireplaces (resources) are popular because they provide a natural warmth. However, this kind of fire requires some care and maintenance. The chimney, flue, and stove can all be the cause of house fires if not maintained and cleaned regularly. These fireplaces are also an excellent source of warmth when the power goes out, especially during winter when snow storms can cause branches to fall from trees and knock down under-hanging power lines.

Using a wood burner for heating will reduce your carbon footprint significantly compared to other fossil fuel sources like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are made to meet EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means that they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more well-seasoned the wood is the more efficient it will be and you'll use less of it to produce the same amount of heat.

The electric fireplaces require some care and maintenance. They should be kept away from materials that ignite and have a screen in place. Cleaning the grate of ash and debris will aid in the flow of air, which will prevent the fire from dying out too quickly. Also, it will keep your indoors clean. It is recommended that your stove and chimney swept at least twice a year to prevent the accumulation of creosote, which can cause an fire hazard or blockage and limit ventilation.

It can take a while for a new homeowner to master the art of how to light, ignite and maintain a continuous fire in the fireplace. Once you've learned the art of creating and maintaining the fire in your wood burner, it will be a source of enduring enjoyment that provides warmth and warmth to your home all year long.
