How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner fireplace electric

Unlike traditional open fireplaces wood stoves are engineered and designed to burn wood. This allows them meet stricter emission standards.

However the smoke they release contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves made of wood are not just gorgeous, but they are also extremely efficient. A top-quality wood stove can be eco-friendly up to 77%. It is vital to get the most out of your log burner particularly with the rising energy costs. The good news is it's easier than ever to do!

One of the most important factors in the effectiveness of a wood burning stove is in the water content of the wood. We recommend using only well-seasoned wood that has been dried for at least one year and often two years. The drier the wood the more efficiently it burns which means less smoke and less harmful emissions.

Another benefit of a wood burning stove is that it's a low carbon source of fuel, which is fantastic for the environment. By purchasing locally sourced wood, you can also help to contribute to the active management and conservation of forests. This is great for wildlife.

As far as maintenance is involved, the sole requirement for a wood stove is to take out and dispose of the ash. It can be a bit of a nuisance, but it's worth it to ensure you get the most heat from every log. Furthermore, if you wait 2-3 days for the ashes to fully cool, they can be reused to make an eco-friendly and non-toxic ice melt. They can be used to polish jewelry and absorb odors.

A marble fireplace with wood burning is a timeless classic. Although they're less popular than gas fireplaces but there's no denying the beauty and appeal of a warm log fire. They are ideal for snuggling in on cold winter evenings, and they make a warm and inviting space in your home. Making the investment in a top-quality wood stove will pay off for a long time.

Low Carbon

Wood burners that burn clean and efficiently are one of the best ways to save the cost of logs while keeping your home warm. In addition, they also help to support local woodland management, a great way of supporting the wildlife that lives in your local environment.

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

Many are concerned that wood-burning stoves cause climate change, but this isn't necessarily true. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its life. When it is burned the carbon dioxide is released into the air.

The wood is produced locally, which reduces the amount of pollution produced during the transport process. It is crucial to choose hardwoods that are seasoned and of top quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

modern fireplace wood stoves, including those manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit less carbon dioxide than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet the 2020 EPA standards which are much more stringent than the previous emission limits.

All wood burning stoves should 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 away from the logs and ensuring that you make use of dry, seasoned wood, all of our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves produce very clear exhaust and have particulate levels that are 60% or more below the DEFRA limit.

A wood-burning stove equipped with a hybrid unit or catalytic converter is the best low carbon heating option. These units re-ignite gases and particles released from the initial burning in a subsequent phase by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustor to create a third and final combustion, further decreasing emissions to levels that is well below the government standards.

Clean Burn

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

This means that your chimney and surrounding area will be a lot cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also referred to as particle pollution, from incompletely burned wood can trigger respiratory problems, such as coughing and wheezing, and can contribute to heart disease as well as stroke, diabetes and other serious conditions. Wood burning also contributes to poor air quality in cities.

Smoke from poorly combusted timber has fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutant such as carbon monoxide, as well as other dangerous air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can get into the lung and other organs which can cause discomfort, damage and even death. Dust particles from the air can also cause a hazard to surfaces in your home with a smudge-like feel.

It is important to select top quality, seasoned, and dried firewood when you use your wood burner fireplace. Hardwoods like oak beech, ash, and ash are the most efficient for heating. Hardwoods have a high density and BTU content. They also offer more heat than softwoods.

It is also important to determine if your local authority has rules regarding wood burning. These may include rules regarding odors and nuisances, as well as visible emissions or smoke opacity limits.

It is crucial to keep the glass of a wood stove with an open front that is free of grime and deposits. This can be done with a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray. You can also add bicarbonate soda and water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is essential for your stove and chimney. Regular chimney cleanings are necessary to get rid of creosote and to ensure that the flue is working correctly. You should also mark the dates of 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 due to their natural warmth. However, this kind of fire requires some care and maintenance. The chimney, flue, and stove are all possible sources of house fires, if they're not maintained and cleaned regularly. Fireplaces can also provide heat in the event of an electrical outage, particularly during winter storms when branches of trees may fall and power lines may be knocked down.

When you use a wood stove to heat your home, you can reduce your carbon footprint when compared to other fossil sources of energy like gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts and fireplaces are designed to meet EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency), which means they emit very little emissions. The more seasoned wood you use the more efficient your stove will be. You'll require less wood to generate the same heat.

These fireplaces require some maintenance and care, including ensuring they are not in close proximity to burning materials and a screening is installed. Making sure the grate is free of ash and debris will help air flow and prevent the fire from dying out too quickly. Also, it will keep your indoors clean. It is recommended that your chimney and stove swept at least twice per year to avoid creosote accumulation which could create a dangerous fire hazard and a blockage that can hinder ventilation.

A wood burning stove has to be tended constantly and it can take a while for a beginner homeowner to learn how to ignite, light, and maintain a steady fire in the fireplace. However, once you have achieved the art of creating and maintaining the fire in your wood stove, it can be a source of lasting enjoyment that provides heat and warmth for your home all year long.

Wood burning fireplaces have been in use in some form or another for nearly 500 years, and they've gained a new following due to their efficiency, sustainability, and the natural warmth and scent of real wood.
