We recommend using only seasoned wood that has been dried for at least one year and in some cases, two years. The more dry the wood, 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 great for the environment. In addition, by buying locally sourced firewood you are aiding in the management of woodlands which is a good thing for wildlife.

The only thing a wood-burning stove requires in terms of maintenance is to take away and get rid of the ash. This can be a bit of a nuisance, but is well worth it to ensure you get most heat from each log.

If properly maintained, wood-burning fireplaces and stoves emit very little pollution when they are used with dry and seasoned wood. However, when they are not maintained properly or are made of poor quality wood, the smoke produced by them can contain fine particles (known as particulate pollution) which can cause irritation to the lung and other organs. Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic such as benzene and formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also present. Inhaling this kind of air pollution can cause irritation of the lungs as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks and may even lead to serious health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, or premature death.

Some people are worried that wood-burning stoves contribute to climate change However, this isn't true. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its life. After burning, the carbon is released into the air.

Since the wood is sourced locally this decreases the amount of pollutants released when it is transported. It is also important to use high quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will provide a longer and more even burn 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 certified to meet 2020 EPA standards which are significantly more stringent than the previous emission limits.

To prevent a build-up of exhaust within your home, all wood burning stoves should be vented to the outside. All our current DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can produce clear exhaust when keeping the flames in the vicinity of the logs of wood and using dry well-seasoned, clean firewood.

A wood-burning stove with a catalytic converter can provide the most efficient low carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite the particulates and gases from the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are transferred to a catalytic unit for a final third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels that are below the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

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

This means that your chimney and surrounding area will be a lot cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) from incompletely combusted wood causes respiratory problems such as wheezing and coughing and can lead to the development of heart diseases such as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health problems. Wood burning is also a contributor to poor air quality in cities.

Smoke from poorly burned timber is a source of fine particulate pollutants as well as dangerous air pollutants like carbon monoxide as well as other harmful air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can reach deep into the lungs and other organs and cause 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.

If you're using a fireplace inserts with wood burning, it's important to only use firewood of the highest quality that has been properly seasoned and dried.

The more seasoned wood you use, the more efficient the stove will be. You'll need less wood to get the same amount of heat.

These fireplaces require some maintenance and attention, such as ensuring they are placed away from burning materials and a screening is in place. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and debris. This will keep the fire burning longer and your home in good order.
