7 Small Changes That Will Make A Big Difference In Your Wood Burner Fireplace

How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

Wood stoves, unlike traditional open fireplaces, are engineered to use wood for combustion. This allows them meet stricter emission standards.

Wood burning stoves create dancing yellow flames and cosy crackling sounds. They also give warmth and a warm sensation. The smoke that is generated contains toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves that burn wood provide a beautiful and natural heat to your home, but they are also extremely efficient. A quality wood stove can attain an Ecodesign rating as high as 77%. It is essential to get the most out of your log burner in light of rising energy costs. The good news is it’s much easier than ever to do!

The moisture content of firewood is an important factor that determines the efficiency of a wood-burning stove is. This is the reason we suggest only using seasoned wood that has been dried for a minimum of one year, and often two years. The more dry the wood is more dry, the better it burns. This results in lesser smoke and fewer harmful emissions.

A wood burning stove offers the advantage of being an environmentally friendly fuel source, which is good for the environment. Furthermore, by buying locally-sourced firewood, you’re helping to support the management of woodlands, which is a great option for wildlife.

The only thing a wood burning stove needs in terms of maintenance is that you regularly remove and dispose of the ash. This can be a bit of a hassle but is well worth it to ensure that you get the most heat from every log. In addition, if you wait 2-3 days for the ashes to fully cool and then reuse them as an eco-friendly and non-toxic ice melt. They can also be used to polish jewellery or absorb smells.

A fireplace with wood burning is an old-fashioned classic. Although they are less popular than gas fireplaces, their appeal and charm of a fire that is roaring can’t be denied.

Low Carbon

Wood burners that burn efficiently and cleanly are the most effective method to save money while keeping your home warm. They also aid local woodland management. This is a great method to support wildlife in your local area.

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create very little pollutant if they are maintained properly and are used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. When they are not maintained properly or use wood that is of poor quality the smoke produced is a result of fine particles, often referred to as particulate pollutants, which can irritate the lungs and other organs of the body. It also contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation of the lung and cause asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and lung irritation. It may also cause cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood burning stove will contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily true. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon neutral. Throughout the lifetime of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when burned the absorbed carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

As the wood is sourced locally this decreases the amount of pollution that is released during transportation. It is essential to select hardwoods that are seasoned and of top quality. They will 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 have been tested and certified to meet the 2020 EPA standards which are much more stringent than the previous emission limits.

To avoid the buildup of exhaust inside your home, all wood burning stoves must be vented completely to the outside. By keeping the flames in the vicinity of the logs, and ensuring 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 lower than the DEFRA limit.

A wood-burning stove that has an acatalytic converter or hybrid unit could provide the most efficient low-carbon heating solution. These units ignite the gasses and particulates from the initial combustion at a later 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 further reduces emissions to levels far below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest efficiency possible. This results in the emission of a small amount of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and venting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process is conducted in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to minimize emissions and increase heat output.

This means your chimney and the surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also referred to as particle pollution, from wood that is not properly burned can cause respiratory issues, like coughing and wheezing. It can also contribute to heart diseases and stroke, diabetes and other serious conditions. Wood burning can also contribute to poor air quality in cities.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutants like carbon monoxide volatile organic compounds nitrogen oxides, benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can get into the lungs, as well as other organs, causing discomfort, harm, and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate surfaces within your home with a smudge-like feeling.

It is important to select good quality, seasoned and dried firewood when you use your wood burner fireplace. Hardwoods such as oak beech, ash and are the best choice for heating. Hardwoods are incredibly dense and have a higher BTU content than softwoods. They also provide more heat.

Check with your local authorities to find out whether they have rules concerning wood burning. These could include nuisance/odor regulations and visible emissions, or the opacity limit for smoke.

If you have a wood stove with a glass door, it’s important to keep the glass free of grime and deposits. This can be done using a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray. Alternatively, you can add bicarbonate of soda with a small amount of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is crucial for your chimney and stove. Regular chimney cleaning is required to eliminate creosote, and ensure that the flue is working properly. Also be sure to mark dates for regular inspections in your calendar, since this will help you avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Many people prefer installing wood-burning fireplaces due to the warmth and natural beauty they provide. However, this type of fire requires some care and maintenance. The chimney, flue, and stove are all potential sources of house fires if not maintained and cleaned regularly. Fireplaces can also be a great source of heat when the power goes out, especially during winter, when snow storms could cause tree branches to fall and knock down under-hanging power lines.

By using a wood stove to heat your home, you will reduce your carbon footprint as compared to other fossil sources of fuel like gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts, and Fireplaces And Stove are constructed to comply with 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 need less wood to get the same amount of heat.

They require some maintenance and care, including ensuring they are positioned away from the ignition source and that a screen is in place. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and debris. This will help keep the fire burning longer and your home tidy. It is recommended that your chimney and stove swept at least twice per year to prevent creosote accumulation, which can cause a fire hazard or clog and hinder ventilation.

It may take some time for a new homeowner to learn to ignite, light and maintain a steady fire in the fireplace. Once you’ve mastered the art of burning, your wood burning stove will be an excellent source of warmth and comfort within your home.

Wood burning fireplaces have been around in one form or another for more than 500 years. They’ve gained popularity due to their energy efficiency, sustainability and the natural warmth that comes from wood. Talk to your local Regency dealer about the benefits of wood stoves or inserts for your home if you’re planning to buy an entirely new heater.
