If they are not properly maintained or use wood that is of poor quality the smoke produced contains fine particles also known as particulate pollutants that can cause irritation to the lungs and other organs of the body. Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic such as benzene and formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also found in. Inhaling this kind of air pollution may cause irritation to the lung as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks and may even cause serious health issues like cancer, heart disease, or premature death.

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

The wood is sourced locally, which reduces the amount pollution that is released during transportation. It is also important to use high quality well-seasoned hardwoods, as they will give a longer and more even burn than softwoods.

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

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

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the highest efficiency possible. This results in the release of very small particles into air 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 safe and controlled environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximise heat output and minimize emissions.

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

Smoke from poorly combusted wood is a source of fine particulate pollutants as well as hazardous air pollutant such as carbon monoxide as well as other harmful air pollutants like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene, and formaldehyde. These particles can get into the organs of the lungs which can cause discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate the surfaces in your home and create a gritty feel to rooms.

It's important to use only top quality, seasoned, and dried firewood for your wood burner fireplace. The most effective woods for heating are hardwoods, such as beech, ash, and oak. Hardwoods are incredibly dense and have a more BTU than softwoods. They also provide more heat.

Modern wood stoves, inserts, and fireplaces are built to comply with EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency), which means they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more well-seasoned wood you use, the more efficient the stove will be. You'll need less wood to achieve the same amount of heat.

The fireplaces require some attention and maintenance. They must be kept clear of materials that ignite and have a screen installed. Air flow will be improved by keeping the grate clear of ash and other debris. This will help keep the fire burning longer and your home clean. It is recommended that your chimney and stove swept every year at least two times to prevent the build-up of creosote which could be a fire hazard and a blockage that can hinder circulation.
