Wood-burning stoves and fireplaces produce minimal pollution when they are maintained properly and are used with dry, seasoned firewood. However, when they are not well maintained or made of poor quality wood, the smoke produced by them contains fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can cause irritation to the lungs and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide and harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling this type of air pollution may cause irritation of the lungs wheezing, coughing and asthma attacks. It could even lead to serious health issues like cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood-burning stove can cause climate change however this isn't necessarily the case. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its lifetime. After burning the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

Because the wood is harvested locally, this reduces the amount of pollution that is released in the process of transportation. It is also essential to select high-quality, seasoned hardwoods as these will have a longer and more even burning time than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those made by Charlton & Jenrick) have much lower emissions than older stoves. They have been certified to meet 2020 EPA standards, which are considerably more stringent than the earlier emission limits.

To avoid the buildup of exhaust inside your home, all wood burning stoves should be vented fully to the outside. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can produce very clear exhaust by keeping the flames in the vicinity of the logs of wood and using dry and seasoned firewood.

A wood burning stove with an acatalytic converter or hybrid unit could provide the most efficient low-carbon heating solution. These units ignite gasses and particles that were ignited during the initial combustion in a subsequent phase by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustor for an additional and final combustion, further reducing emissions to a level much lower than the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest possible efficiency. This means that there are fewer emissions of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and venting of gases to ensure that the combustion process is conducted in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the flame's height to reduce emissions and maximize heat output.

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

Smoke from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollutants and dangerous air pollutants like carbon monoxide, as well as other dangerous air pollutants like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can penetrate deep into the lung and other organs which can cause discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also damage surfaces within your home, giving them a gritty feeling.

When you are using a fireplace that is wood-burning it is essential to use high-quality firewood that has been properly seasoned and dried. The most valuable woods for heating are hardwoods such as beech, ash, and oak. Hardwoods have a higher density and BTU content and they provide more heat than softwoods.

Using a wood stove to heat your home will reduce your carbon footprint substantially compared to other fossil fuel sources like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts have been designed to meet EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means they emit very little carbon dioxide. The more well-seasoned the wood is the more efficient it will be, so you'll burn less of it to get the same amount of heat.

These fireplaces require some maintenance and attention, such as ensuring they are not in close proximity to the ignition source and that a screen is installed. Keeping the grate clear of debris and ash will aid in the flow of air and will stop the fire from dying out quickly. It will also help keep your home clean. It is recommended that your stove and chimney swept at least twice a year to prevent creosote accumulation which could cause fire hazards or blockage and hinder circulation.
