How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

Wood stoves, unlike traditional open fireplaces, are engineered to use wood for combustion. This allows them to meet stricter emission standards.

Wood burning stoves emit glowing yellow flames that dance and warm crackling sounds. They also give an incredibly warm feeling. The smoke that is produced contains toxic air pollutants like benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

wooden fireplaces and stoves made of wood are not just beautiful, but also extremely efficient. A high-quality wood burner can achieve an Ecodesign rating of as high as 77%. It is crucial to get the most out of your log burner particularly with the rising energy costs. The good thing is that it's much easier than ever to do!

One of the main factors that determines how effective a wood-burning stove can be in the water content of the wood. This is the reason we suggest 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 the more efficiently it burns, which means less smoke and harmful emissions.

A wood-burning stove also is an eco-friendly fuel source which is good for the environment. When you purchase locally-sourced wood, you are also helping to promote the active management and conservation of forests. This is great for wildlife.

In terms of maintenance concerned, the only requirement of a wood burner is to scoop up and dispose of the ash. It can be a bit of a hassle, but it is worth it to get the maximum heat from each log. If you allow the ashes 2-3 days to cool completely and then, they can be used as a non-toxic and environmentally friendly ice melt. They can be used to polish jewelry or absorb the odors.

A fireplace made of wood is a truly timeless classic. Although they're less popular than gas fireplaces but there's no denying the beauty and enthralling sound of a warm log fire. They are ideal for snuggling in on cold winter evenings, and they create a warm and welcoming space within your home. Making the investment in a top-quality wood burner will pay for itself for many years.

Low Carbon

Wood burners that are clean and efficient are among the most efficient ways to save money on logs and keep your home warm. Additionally, they also help to support local woodland management, a great way of supporting the wildlife in your local area.

When properly maintained wood-burning stoves and fireplaces emit very little pollution when they are used with dry and seasoned firewood. However, when they are not maintained properly or are made of poor quality wood the smoke generated by them contains fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can irritate the lung and other organs. Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also in the. Inhaling air pollution can cause lung irritation and lead to asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and irritation of the lungs. It could also cause heart disease, cancer or premature death.

Some people worry that using a wood burning stove could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. Burning wood is a carbon-neutral energy source. Throughout the lifetime of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when it is burned, the absorbed carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is local, which decreases the amount pollution that is produced during the transport process. It is also essential to select high-quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will have an extended and even burn than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, including those manufactured 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 strict than previous emissions limits.

All wood burning stoves should be fully vented to the outside of your property to ensure that they do not create a build-up of exhaust in your house. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can create very clear exhaust by keeping the flames at a distance from the wood logs and using dry, seasoned firewood.

A wood-burning stove that has a catalytic converter or a hybrid unit can provide the best low-carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite gases and particles from the initial combustion in a second phase by mixing them superheated air. They then channel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustor for a third and final combustion, further reducing emissions to a level that is well below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest possible efficiency. This results in the release of a small amount of particles into the air when burning wood. The stove's air management system controls the intake and venting of gases, making sure that the combustion process occurs in a closed, controlled environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to minimise emissions and maximise heat output.

This means your chimney and its surroundings will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) from incompletely combusted wood causes respiratory problems such as wheezing and coughing and contributes to the development of heart disease such as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health problems. Air pollution from wood combustion is an important factor in poor urban air quality.

Smoke from poorly burned timber contains fine particulate pollutants and dangerous air pollutants like carbon monoxide and other hazardous air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can penetrate deep into the lungs, and other organs, causing discomfort, harm, and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate surfaces within your home with a smudge-like feeling.

It is essential to use only top quality, seasoned, and dried firewood for your fireplace with a wood burner. Hardwoods like oak beech, ash, and ash are the most efficient for heating. Hardwoods are extremely dense and have higher BTU than softwoods. They also have more heat.

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

It is essential to keep the glass of a wood stove with glass fronts free of grime and deposits. You can make use of a dry towel or oven cleaner spray for this. Alternately, you can add bicarbonate of soda mixed with a bit of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance of your stove and chimney is also essential. This includes regular chimney cleanings to remove creosote and ensure proper functioning of the flue. It is also important to mark the dates of your periodic inspections on your calendar. This will allow you avoid costly repairs and prolong the life of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Many people prefer installing wood burning fireplaces due to the natural warmth they generate. However, this kind of Ethonal Fire requires a bit of upkeep and maintenance. The chimney, flue, and stove are all potential sources of house electric fires if not cleaned and maintained regularly. These stone fireplaces also provide heat in the event of an electrical outage, particularly during winter storms when tree branches can fall and power lines can be ripped down.

Using a wood burner for heating will reduce your carbon footprint considerably compared to other fossil fuel sources such as gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are designed to conform to EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means that they produce very low emissions. The more well-seasoned the wood is and the better it is, the more efficient it will be, so you'll burn less of it to produce the same amount of heat.

These fireplaces require some maintenance and care, including ensuring they are placed away from the ignition source and that a screen is in place. Air flow will be improved by keeping the grate clean of ash and other debris. This will ensure that the fire is burning longer and your home in good order. You should have your stove and chimney cleaned at least twice per year to avoid creosote accumulation which could create an extremely dangerous fire hazard as well as a blockage that can hinder ventilation.

A wood burning stove will need to be maintained on a regular basis and it could take some time for a new homeowner to master the art of how to light, ignite, and maintain a steady fire in the wall fireplace. Once you've mastered the art, your wood burner will be an ideal source of warmth and comfort in your home.

Wood burning fireplaces are around in a variety of forms or styles for over 500 years. They've gained a lot of attention due to their energy efficiency, sustainability and the natural warmth that comes from wood. If you're thinking of buying the purchase of a new heater, consult with your local certified Regency dealer to find out more about the advantages of an insert or stove made of wood for your home.
