Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create very little pollutant if they are maintained properly and used with dry, seasoned firewood. However, when they are not maintained well or made of poor quality wood, the smoke produced by them is contaminated with fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can irritate the lung and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling this kind of air pollution may cause lung irritation, coughing, wheezing and asthma attacks and may even cause serious health issues like cancer, biofireplace heart disease or premature death.

Many people are concerned that using a wood burning stove can cause climate change, but this is not necessarily the case. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. Through the life of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when burned the absorbed carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

Since the wood is sourced locally, this reduces the amount of pollution emitted in the process of transportation. It is crucial to choose hardwoods that are well-seasoned and of high quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, including the ones made by Charlton & Jenrick, emit much less pollution than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet the 2020 EPA standards, which are significantly more stringent than the previous emission limits.

To prevent a build-up of exhaust within your home, all wood burning stoves should be vented fully to the outside. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean burn stoves can create very clear exhaust by keeping the flames above the wood logs and by using dry well-seasoned, clean firewood.

A wood burning stove with a catalytic converter or hybrid unit can provide the best low-carbon solution for heating. 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 pumped through a catalytic combustion 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 highest efficiency that is possible. This results in a minimum amount of particles emitted into the atmosphere when burning wood. The stove's air management system regulates the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process is conducted in a controlled, sealed atmosphere. It also regulates the flame's height to reduce emissions and maximize heat output.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be a lot cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) caused by incomplete combustion of wood causes respiratory issues like wheezing and coughing and can lead to the development of heart diseases such as stroke, diabetes, biofireplace and other serious health problems. The air pollution resulting from wood burning is also an element that contributes to poor urban air quality.

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

The more well-seasoned the wood is the more efficient it will be and you'll use less of it to get the same amount of heat.

The fireplaces require some maintenance and care. They should be placed away from materials that ignite and have a screen. Air flow will be improved by keeping the grate clear of ash and debris. This will ensure that the fire is burning longer and your home clean. You should have your stove and chimney swept at least twice per year to avoid creosote accumulation which could create a fire hazard and a clog that can restrict circulation.
