How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

Wood stoves, unlike traditional open fireplaces, are designed to burn wood. This allows them to comply with stricter emission regulations.

Wood burning stoves provide glowing yellow flames, cozy crackling sounds and that primal feeling of warmth. The smoke produced is filled with harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

With the rising cost of energy, it is crucial to ensure that you get the most benefit from your log burner - the good news is that this is much simpler than ever before!

The amount of moisture in wood is one of the main factors that determines how efficient a stove that burns wood is. This is the reason we suggest only using seasoned wood, 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 advantage of a wood-burning stove is that it's a low carbon source of fuel, which is fantastic for the environment. In addition, by buying locally-sourced firewood, you are helping to promote the active management of forests which is a wonderful aspect for wildlife.

The only thing a wood burning stove needs in terms of maintenance is to regularly take away and dispose of the ash. It's 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, they can also be utilized as a non-toxic and environmentally friendly melt of ice. They can be used to polish jewelry and absorb smells.

A fireplace with wood burning is a timeless classic. Although they're not as popular than gas fireplaces, there is no denying the charm and appeal of a warm log fire.

Wood burners that burn cleanly and efficiently are the most effective method to save money while also keeping your home warm. Additionally, they can also assist in the local woodland management. It's a great way of supporting the wildlife that lives in your local environment.

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

Many people are concerned that using a wood burning stove can cause climate change, but this is not necessarily the case. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. In the course of the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burned, the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

As the wood is sourced locally this decreases the amount of pollutants released in the process of transportation. It is also essential to use high quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will have a longer and more even burning time than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, like the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit less carbon dioxide 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 must be fully vented to the outside of your home to ensure that they don't create a build-up of exhaust in your house. By keeping the flames in the vicinity of the logs and ensuring that you use dry, seasoned wood, all of our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves can produce extremely clear exhaust and have particulate levels that are 60 or more lower than the DEFRA limit.

A wood-burning stove that has an acatalytic converter or hybrid unit can offer the ultimate low-carbon solution for heating. These units ignite the gasses and particulates from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then funnel the remaining gasses and particulates through a catalytic combustor to create the third and final combustion, further decreasing emissions to levels much lower than the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest efficiency. This results in a minimum amount of emissions of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and exhaust of gases to ensure the combustion process occurs in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximize heat output and minimize emissions.

This means that your chimney as well as the surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also referred to as particle pollution, resulting from incompletely burned wood can cause respiratory issues, like wheezing and coughing, and contribute to heart diseases, stroke, diabetes, and other serious illnesses. The smoke from wood combustion is a contributory factor in poor urban air quality.

The smoke that is emitted from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate matter and dangerous air pollutants like carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can be absorbed into the lungs, and other organs causing discomfort, damage and even death. Dust particles from the air can also cause a hazard to surfaces in your home and give them a rough feeling.

When you are using a fireplace that is wood-burning it is essential to use high-quality firewood that has been seasoned and dried. The most effective woods for heating are hardwoods like beech, ash, and oak. Hardwoods are extremely dense and have higher BTU than softwoods. They also have more heat.

Check with your local authority to find out whether they have rules about wood burning. These may include nuisance/odor rules and visible emissions, or smoke opacity limits.

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

Regular maintenance of your chimney and stove is also essential. Regular chimney cleaning is required to eliminate creosote, and also to ensure that the flue is working properly. It is also important to mark the dates for periodic inspections on your calendar. This will help you prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your wood stove.

Low Maintenance

Wood burning fireplaces are popular because they provide a natural warmth. This kind of fireplace needs some maintenance and upkeep. If it is not maintained and cleaned regularly, the chimney, flue, and stove can all be potential sources of fires within your home. They also provide warmth in the event of power outage, particularly during winter storms where tree branches can fall and power lines may be ripped down.

When you use a wood stove to heat your home, you will reduce your carbon footprint as compared to other fossil sources of energy like gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts and fireplaces are built to meet EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency) which means they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more well-seasoned the wood is and the better it is, the more efficient it will be as well which means you'll burn less of it to get the same amount of heat.

The fireplaces need some care and maintenance. They should be kept away from the combustible materials and have a screen installed. The air flow can be improved by keeping the grate clear of ash and debris. This will keep the fire burning longer and your home in good order. You should have your chimney and stove cleaned at least two times per year to prevent creosote accumulation, which can cause fire hazards or blockage and hinder circulation.

It can take a while for a new homeowner to master the art of how to light, ignite and maintain a constant fire in the fireplace. Once you've learned the art, your wood stove will become a source for warmth and comfort within your home.

Wood burning fireplaces are around in one form or another for over 500 years. They've gained a lot of attention because of their efficiency, sustainability and the natural warmth of 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.
