Its History Of Wood Burner Fireplace

How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

In contrast to traditional open Fireplaces and stove, wood stoves are specifically designed and optimized to burn wood. This allows them meet stricter emission standards.

Wood burning stoves offer dancing yellow flames, cosy crackling sounds, and that primordial sensation of warmth. The smoke that is produced is filled with harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde and benzene as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves that burn wood offer a stunning and natural heat to the home, but they are also incredibly efficient. A high-quality wood burner can be eco-friendly up to 77%. With the increasing cost of energy, it is crucial to ensure you are getting the maximum value from your log stove – the good news is that it’s much easier than ever before!

A key factor in how effective a wood-burning stove can be in the moisture content of the firewood. We recommend using only well-seasoned wood that has been dried for at least one year, and in many cases two years. The dryer the wood is the more efficiently it burns, which means less smoke and less harmful emissions.

A wood burning stove offers the advantage of being an environmentally friendly fuel source, which is beneficial to the environment. Additionally, by purchasing locally-sourced firewood, you’re helping to support the active management of forests which is a good thing for wildlife.

The only thing a wood burning stove requires in terms of maintenance is that you regularly remove and dispose of the ash. It can be quite a challenge but it’s worth it to get the maximum heat from every log. If you wait for the ashes to cool completely and then, they can be used as a non-toxic and green ice melt. They can be used to polish jewelry or absorb odors.

A wood burner fireplace is a truly timeless classic. While they’re not as popular than gas fireplaces, the allure and ambiance of a fire that is roaring can’t be denied. These fires are perfect for snuggling in on cold winter evenings, and they make a warm and inviting space in your home. A high-quality wood burner will pay off for many years.

Low Carbon

Burners that burn clean and efficiently are one of the best ways to save money on logs and keep your home warm. They also help local woodland management. This is a fantastic method to support wildlife in your local area.

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create minimal pollution when they are properly maintained and used with dry, seasoned and dry firewood. When they are not maintained properly or use wood of poor quality the smoke produced contains fine particles commonly referred to as particulate pollution that can cause irritation to lungs and other body organs. Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also found in. Inhaling this kind of air pollution can cause lung irritation, coughing, wheezing and asthma attacks and may even lead to serious health conditions such as heart disease, cancer, or premature death.

Some people are worried that wood-burning stoves can cause climate change however this isn’t true. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its lifespan. When it is burned carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

Since the wood is sourced locally, it reduces the amount of pollution emitted in the process of transportation. It is important to use hardwoods that have been seasoned and of top quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, like the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit much less pollution than older stoves. They have been certified to meet 2020 EPA standards that are significantly more strict than previous emission limits.

To avoid the buildup of exhaust within your home, all wood-burning stoves should be vented to the outside. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean-burn stoves produce very clear exhaust by keeping the flames at a distance from the wood logs and using dry well-seasoned, clean firewood.

A wood burning stove equipped with a catalytic converter or hybrid unit can offer the ultimate low-carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite gases and particles that were ignited during the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them superheated air. They then funnel the remaining particulates and gasses through a catalytic combustor to create the third and final combustion, the reduction of emissions to levels well below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are designed to burn fuel with the greatest efficiency that is possible. This results in the release of a small amount of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and ventilation of gases to ensure the combustion process occurs in a controlled and sealed environment. It also regulates the flame height to minimize emissions and increase the heat output.

This means your chimney and its surroundings will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) caused by incomplete combustion of wood causes respiratory problems such as wheezing and coughing and can lead to the development of heart diseases such as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health conditions. Wood burning can also contribute to poor air quality in cities.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood is a mixture of fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutants such as carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can penetrate deep into the lungs and other organs, causing discomfort and damage and even death. Airborne dust can also damage surfaces in your home and give them a rough sensation.

When using your wood-burning fireplace it is important to make use of high-quality firewood that has been properly seasoned and dried. Hardwoods like oak, ash, and beech are the most efficient for heating. Hardwoods are dense and have a more BTU than softwoods. They also provide more heat.

You should also determine if your local authority has rules regarding wood burning. These may include nuisance/odor rules and visible emissions, or the opacity limit for smoke.

If you have a wood burner with a glass door, it’s important to keep the glass free of deposits and grime. You can use a dry cloth or oven cleaner spray to accomplish this. Alternatively, you can mix bicarbonate of a soda with a little water to the glass.

Regular maintenance of your chimney and stove is also vital. This includes regular chimney cleanings that remove creosote and ensure the proper functioning of your flue. Be sure to note dates for regular inspections in your calendar, as this will help you avoid costly repairs and prolong the longevity of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Wood burning fireplaces are popular because they provide a natural warmth. This kind of fireplace requires a bit of maintenance and upkeep. If not maintained and cleaned regularly, the chimney, flue, and stove can all be potential sources of fires within your home. These fireplaces also provide heat in the event of a power outage, particularly during winter storms where branches of trees may fall and power lines can be damaged.

By using a wood stove to heat your home, you will reduce your carbon footprint compared to other fossil fuel sources like gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts, and fireplaces are designed to comply with EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency), which means they produce very little emissions. The more well-seasoned the wood is and the better it is, the more efficient it will be as well and you’ll use less of it to produce the same amount of heat.

Fireplaces require some care and maintenance. They should be placed away from materials that ignite and have a screen. Cleaning the grate of debris and ash will allow airflow and prevent the fire from dying out too quickly and keep your home clean. It is important to have your chimney and stove cleaned at least twice per year to prevent creosote accumulation which could cause an fire hazard or blockage and limit ventilation.

It may take some time for a new homeowner to learn how to light, ignite and maintain a continuous fire in the fireplace. However, once you have achieved the art of creating and maintaining an open flame in your wood burner, it will be a source of enduring pleasure that will provide heat and warmth for your home every year.

Wood burning fireplaces are around in one form or another for over 500 years. They’ve gained popularity due to their efficiency, sustainability and the natural warmth of wood. Talk with your local Regency dealer about the benefits of wood stoves or inserts for your home if you’re looking to purchase an upgrade to your heater.
