How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

Wood stoves, in contrast to traditional open fireplaces, are designed to burn wood. This allows them meet stricter emission standards.

Wood burning stoves produce sparkling yellow flames and soft crackling noises. They also provide a primal feeling of warmth. However the smoke they release is contaminated with carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves that burn wood provide beautiful and natural heat source to the home, but they are also extremely efficient. A top-quality wood burner could be eco-friendly up to 77%. With rising energy costs it is important to make sure you get the most benefit from your log burner - the good thing is that this is much simpler than ever!

The amount of moisture in wood is one of the main factors that determines how efficient a stove that burns wood is. This is why we recommend only using wood that is seasoned, that has been dried for at least one year, and more often two years. The more dry the wood is more dry, the better it burns. This results in lesser smoke and fewer harmful emissions.

Another advantage of a wood burning stove is that it's an eco-friendly source of fuel, which is great for the environment. In addition, by buying locally-sourced firewood, you are helping to support the management of woodlands which is a wonderful thing for wildlife.

As far as maintenance is involved, the sole requirement of a wood burner is to scoop up and dispose of the ash. This can be a little bit of a hassle but it is worth it in order to ensure you get maximum heat from each and every log. In addition that if you wait a couple of days for the ashes to completely cool they can be used as an eco-friendly and non-toxic ice melt. They can be used to polish jewelry and absorb the odors.

A fireplace with a wood burner is a truly timeless classic. While they may be less popular than gas fires, there is no denying the charm and appeal of a roaring log fire. These fires are perfect to snuggle to on cold winter nights, and they create a warm and welcoming area in your home. A high-quality wood burner will pay for itself for many years.

Low Carbon

Wood burners that burn cleanly and efficiently are the most efficient way to save money while keeping your house warm. They also aid local woodland management. This is a fantastic method to support wildlife in your area.

When properly maintained wood-burning stoves and fireplaces emit very little pollutant when they are operated with seasoned and dry firewood. If they aren't properly maintained or when they use wood of poor quality, the smoke that is produced is a result of fine particles, often referred to as particulate pollutants that can cause irritation to the lungs and other body organs. Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also found in. Inhaling these types of air pollution may cause irritation to the lung wheezing, coughing and asthma attacks and may even cause serious health conditions such as cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Many people are concerned that using a wood-burning stove could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily the case. Wood burning is a carbon neutral energy source. In the course of the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide and when burned the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

Because the wood is harvested locally, this reduces the amount of pollution that is released during transportation. It is essential to select hardwoods that are well-seasoned and of top quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick) have considerably lower emissions than earlier stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet the 2020 EPA standards which are considerably more strict than previous emissions limits.

To prevent a build-up of exhaust inside your home, all wood-burning stoves must be vented completely to the outside. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can produce very clear exhaust by keeping the flames at a distance from the wood logs and by using dry and seasoned firewood.

A wood-burning stove that has a hybrid unit or catalytic converter is the best low carbon solution for heating. These units ignite gasses and particles released from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gasses and particulates are transported through a catalytic combustion unit to create a final and third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels well below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with 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 controlled, sealed atmosphere. It also regulates the flame's height to reduce emissions and maximize the heat output.

This means that your chimney and 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 coughing and wheezing in people and can lead to the development of heart disease as well as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health conditions. The air pollution resulting caused by wood burning is an element that contributes to poor air quality in urban areas.

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, such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can penetrate deep into the lungs, and other organs, causing discomfort, injury, and even death. Airborne dust can also damage surfaces within your home and give them a rough sensation.

If you're using a tabletop fireplace with wood burning it is important to use high-quality firewood that has been seasoned and dried. Hardwoods such as oak, ash, and beech are the most efficient for heating. Hardwoods are incredibly dense and have a higher BTU content than softwoods. They also have more heat.

Contact your local authority to determine whether they have rules concerning wood burning. These rules could include rules regarding odors and nuisances and visible smoke emissions or smoke opacity limitations.

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

Regular maintenance of your chimney and stove is also vital. This includes regular chimney cleanings to eliminate creosote as well as ensure proper functioning of your flue. Also, make sure you mark dates for inspections on a regular basis in your diary, as this will help you avoid expensive repairs and prolong the lifespan of your wood stove.

Low Maintenance

Wood burning fireplaces are very popular because they provide a natural warmth. However, this type of fire requires a bit of upkeep and maintenance. If not cleaned and maintained regularly, the chimney, flue and stove could all be fire hazards within your home. They also provide warmth in the event of an electrical outage, particularly during winter storms where tree branches can fall and power lines can be damaged.

Using a wood stove for heating will reduce your carbon footprint significantly when compared to other fossil fuel sources, such as gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts, and Wooden Fireplaces are constructed to meet EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency) which means that they produce very little emissions. The more seasoned wood you use the more efficient your stove will be. You'll need less wood to generate the same heat.

The fireplaces need some care and maintenance. They should be kept away from materials that ignite and have a screen installed. Cleaning the grate of ash and debris will help air flow, which will prevent the fire from dying out quickly. It will also help keep your home clean. You should have your stove and chimney cleaned at least once a year to prevent the build-up of creosote, which can be a fire hazard and a blockage that can hinder the flow of air.

It could take a while for a new homeowner to master the art of how to light, ignite and maintain a steady fire in the fireplace suites. But, once you've mastered the art of building and maintaining an open flame in your wood stove, it can be a source of lasting enjoyment that provides heat and warmth for your home all year long.

Wood burning fireplaces have been in use in one form or another for more than 500 years and Fireplace Suites have rediscovered their popularity because of their effectiveness, sustainability, and the natural warmth and smell of real wood.
