Wood-burning stoves and wooden fireplaces produce very little pollutant if they are maintained properly and are used with dry, seasoned firewood. However, if they are not well maintained or made of poor quality wood, the smoke produced by them can contain fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can cause irritation to the lungs and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling this type of air pollution can cause irritation of the lungs, coughing, wheezing and asthma attacks and may even lead to 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 produces energy that is carbon-neutral. In the course of the life of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burnt, the carbon absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

As the wood is sourced locally this decreases the amount of pollutants released during transportation. It is crucial to choose hardwoods that are well-seasoned and of top quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those made by Charlton & Jenrick) have much lower emissions than older stoves. They are certified to meet 2020 EPA standards that are significantly stricter than earlier emission limits.

All wood burning stoves must be fully vented to the outside of your property to ensure that they don't create a build-up of exhaust in your house. All our current DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can produce very clear exhaust by keeping the flames above the logs of wood and using dry and seasoned firewood.

A wood burning stove equipped with a catalytic converter or hybrid unit can provide the best low-carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite gases and particles released from the initial burning in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then transferred to a catalytic unit for a final third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels far below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the greatest efficiency that is achievable. This means that there are fewer particles emitted into the atmosphere 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 safe and controlled environment. It also regulates the flame's height to maximise heat output and minimise emissions.

This means that your chimney as well as the surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also known as particle pollution, from incompletely burned wood can trigger respiratory issues, such as coughing and wheezing, and contribute to heart diseases, stroke, diabetes, and other serious conditions. The smoke caused by wood burning is an important factor in poor urban air quality.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate matter and dangerous air pollutants such as carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can get into the lungs, and other organs, causing discomfort, injury, and even death. Dust particles from the air can also damage the surfaces in your home, and can give the impression of a rough surface to rooms.

When using your wood-burning freestanding fireplace it is essential to make use of high-quality firewood that has been properly seasoned and dried. The most efficient woods for heating are hardwoods such as beech, ash, and oak. Hardwoods are incredibly dense and have a higher BTU than softwoods. They also have more heat.

Check with your local authority to determine if they have any rules regarding wood burning. These may include nuisance/odor rules and visible emissions or opacity limits for smoke.

It is essential to keep the glass of a stove with glass fronts free of dirt and deposits. This can be done using a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray. Alternately, you can add bicarbonate of soda with a little water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is crucial for your chimney and stove. Regular chimney cleanings are necessary to remove creosote, and ensure that the flue works correctly. It is also important to mark the dates for periodic inspections on your calendar. This will help you to avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your wood stove.

By using a wood stove to heat your home, you will reduce your carbon footprint compared to other fossil fuel sources like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts are designed to comply with EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more seasoned wood you use the more efficient the stove will be. You'll need less wood to generate the same amount of heat.

The fireplaces need some care and maintenance. They must be kept clear of the combustible materials and have a screen installed. Keeping the grate clear of ash and debris will allow airflow and will stop the fire from dying too quickly and keep your indoors clean. It is recommended that your chimney and stove swept at least two times per year to prevent creosote accumulation, which can cause an fire hazard or blockage and limit ventilation.

It could take a while for a new homeowner to learn to ignite, light and maintain a continuous fire in the fireplace.
