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

Some people worry that using a wood-burning stove could contribute to climate change however this isn't necessarily the case. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. In the course of the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burnt, the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is local, which decreases the amount of pollution emitted in the transportation process. It is crucial to choose hardwoods that are well-seasoned and of high quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those made by Charlton & Jenrick) have considerably lower emissions than earlier stoves. They have been certified to meet 2020 EPA standards that are significantly more strict than previous emission limits.

A wood burning stove with a catalytic converter or hybrid unit can offer the ultimate low-carbon heating solution. These units ignite the gasses and particulates from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then funnel the remaining particulates and gasses through a catalytic combustor for an additional and final combustion, further the reduction of emissions to levels that is well below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are designed to burn fuel with the best efficiency possible. This results in a minimum amount of emissions of particles into the air when burning wood. The stove's air management system controls the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring the combustion process takes place in a closed, controlled environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to minimise emissions and maximise heat output.

This means that your chimney as well as the surrounding area will be a lot cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also known as particle pollution, is a result of incompletely burned wood can trigger respiratory issues, such as coughing and wheezing, and contribute to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other serious illnesses. Wood burning is also a contributor to poor air quality in cities.

Smoke from poorly combusted timber is a source of fine particulate pollutants as well as dangerous air pollutants like carbon monoxide as well as other harmful air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene, and formaldehyde. These particles can get into the lung and other organs and cause discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate surfaces within your home and give them a rough feeling.

It is essential to use only top quality, seasoned, and dried firewood for your wood burner fireplace. Hardwoods such as oak beech, ash and are the best choice for heating. Hardwoods have a high density and BTU content, and they offer more heat than softwoods.

Using a wood burner for heating will reduce your carbon footprint significantly in comparison to other fossil fuel sources, such as gas.

The more seasoned wood you use the more efficient the stove will be. You'll require less wood to get the same amount of heat.

They require some maintenance and attention, including making sure they are placed away from burning materials and a screening is in place. The flow of air will be improved by keeping the grate clean of ash and other debris. This will keep the fire burning longer and your home clean. It is recommended that your chimney and stove swept at least twice a year to prevent creosote accumulation which could cause fire hazards or blockage and restrict circulation.
