It is crucial to get the most out of your wood burner particularly with the rising energy costs. The good news is it’s now easier than ever before to do!
A key factor in the effectiveness of a wood burning stove is is the moisture content of the firewood. We recommend using only well-seasoned wood that has been dried over a period of at least one year and often two years. The dryer the wood is, the more efficiently it burns, which means less smoke and harmful emissions.
Another great benefit of a wood-burning stove is that it’s a low carbon source of fuel, which is excellent for the environment. Furthermore, by buying locally-sourced firewood, you’re helping to support the active management of woodlands which is a wonderful thing for wildlife.
The only thing a wood burning stove needs in terms of maintenance is to regularly remove and get rid of ash. It’s a bit of a hassle however it is worth it to get the maximum heat from each log. If you wait for the ashes to completely cool, they can also be used as a non-toxic, green ice melt. They can also be used to polish jewellery or absorb odors.

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create very little pollutant if they are maintained properly and are used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. However, if they’re not maintained well or made of poor quality wood the smoke that is produced by them contains fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can cause irritation to the lung and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling these types of air pollution can cause lung irritation as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks. It can even cause serious health issues like cancer, heart disease, or premature death.
Some people fear that using a wood burning stove could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. The wood absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its lifespan. After burning carbon dioxide is released into the air.
Since the wood is sourced locally, it reduces the amount of pollution emitted when it is transported. It is crucial to choose hardwoods that are well-seasoned and of high quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.
Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick) have much lower emissions than older stoves. They are certified to meet 2020 EPA standards, which are considerably more strict than earlier emission limits.
To prevent a build-up of exhaust in your home, all wood burning stoves should be vented to the outside. All of our current DEFRA-exempt, clean burn stoves can produce extremely clear exhaust by keeping the flames at a distance from the logs of wood and using dry, seasoned firewood.
A wood burning stove with a catalytic converter or hybrid unit can provide the best low-carbon heating solution. These units ignite the gases and particulates that were ignited during the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are transported through a catalytic combustion unit for a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels well below government standards.
Clean Burn
Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the greatest efficiency possible. This results in the release of minimal particles into the air when burning wood. The stove’s air management system controls the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process takes place in a sealed, controlled atmosphere. It also regulates the flame’s height to maximize heat output and minimise emissions.
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 can cause respiratory problems like wheezing and coughing in people and contributes to the development of heart diseases such as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health conditions. Wood burning can also contribute to poor air quality in cities.
Smoke from poorly combusted timber is a source of fine particulate pollutants as well as harmful air pollutants such as carbon monoxide as well as other harmful air pollutants like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can get into the lung and other organs and cause discomfort, damage and even death. Dust particles from the air can also damage the surfaces in your home, and can give a gritty feel to rooms.
When you are using a fireplace that is wood-burning it is important to use firewood of the highest quality that has been dried and seasoned. dried. The most effective woods for heating are hardwoods, such as beech, ash, and oak. Hardwoods are extremely dense and have higher BTU content than softwoods. They also provide more heat.
You should also determine if your local authority has regulations regarding wood burning. These may include rules on odors and nuisances and visible emissions or smoke opacity limits.
It is crucial to keep the glass of a wood stove that has an open front that is free of dirt and deposits. This can be done with dry cloths or oven cleaner spray. Alternatively, you can add bicarbonate of soda mixed with a bit of water to the glass.
