How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner tabletop fireplace

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

Wood burning stoves provide glowing yellow flames, cozy crackling sound and that innate feeling of warmth. The smoke produced is contaminated by air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves that are wood-burning are not only stunning, but they are also incredibly efficient. A quality wood stove can achieve an Ecodesign rating of as high as 77%. It is essential to get the most out of your wood burner in light of rising energy costs. The good news is that it's now easier than ever before to do!

A key factor in how effective the wood-burning stove is is the water content of the wood. We recommend using only 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 harmful emissions.

A wood burning stove also offers the advantage of being a low-carbon fuel source, which is beneficial to the environment. In addition, by buying locally sourced firewood you are helping to support the active management of forests which is a wonderful option for wildlife.

In terms of maintenance concerned, the primary requirement for a wood burner is to remove and scoop up the ash. It's a bit of a hassle however it is worth it to get the best heat from each log. Furthermore when you wait for a couple of days for the ashes to completely cool and then reuse them to make an eco-friendly and non-toxic ice melt. They can also be used to polish jewellery or absorb the odors.

A wall fireplace that burns wood is a timeless classic. Although they're not as popular than gas fireplaces, there is no denying the charm and allure of a warm log fire. These fires are great to cuddle to on cold winter nights, and they create a warm and welcoming space in your home. Make sure you invest in a high-quality wood stove and you'll start benefiting for many years to come! Our chimney sweeps are on hand to assist you in getting the most value from your stove.

Low Carbon

Burners that are efficient and clean are among the best ways to save money on logs while keeping your home warm. In addition, they also aid in the local woodland management. It's a excellent way to help the wildlife that lives in your area.

If properly maintained, wood-burning fireplaces and stoves emit little or no pollution when they are operated with seasoned and dry firewood. However, when they are not maintained properly or are used with poor quality wood the smoke that is produced by them contains fine particles (known as particulate pollution) which can cause irritation to the lungs and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause lung irritation and trigger asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and lung irritation. It may also cause heart disease, cancer or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood-burning stove can cause climate change however this isn't necessarily the case. Burning wood is a carbon-neutral energy source. Throughout the lifetime 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 pollution that is emitted in the transportation process. It is also important to select top quality, seasoned hardwoods as these will provide a longer and more even burning time than softwoods.

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

All wood-burning stoves must be fully vented to the outside of your property to ensure that they do not cause a build-up of exhaust inside your home. All of our DEFRA-exempt and clean-burn stoves produce clear exhaust when keeping the flames above the wood logs and by using dry and seasoned firewood.

A wood-burning stove equipped with a catalytic converter can provide the ultimate low carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite gases and particles from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then funnel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustor for a third and final combustion, further reducing emissions to a level that is well below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest possible efficiency. This results in the emission of very small particles into air when burning wood. The stove's air management system controls the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process takes place in a closed, controlled atmosphere. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximize heat output and minimise emissions.

This means your chimney and surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) from incompletely combusted wood causes respiratory issues like wheezing and coughing and contributes to the development of heart disease such as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health issues. Wood burning can also contribute to poor air quality in cities.

Smoke from poorly burned timber contains fine particulate pollutants and hazardous air pollutant such as carbon monoxide and other hazardous air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can be absorbed into the lungs and other organs, causing discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate surfaces in your home, giving them a gritty feeling.

When using your wood-burning fireplace it is essential to use high-quality firewood that has been seasoned and dried. The most effective woods for heating are hardwoods such as oak, ash and beech. Hardwoods are dense and have a higher BTU content than softwoods. They also have more heat.

Check with your local authority to see if they have any rules concerning wood burning. These rules could include rules on odors and nuisances, as well as visible smoke emissions or smoke opacity restrictions.

It is essential to keep the glass of a wood stove with glass fronts free of deposits and dirt. You can use a dry towel or oven cleaner spray for this. You can also add bicarbonate soda mixed with water to the glass.

Regular maintenance is also important for your stove and chimney. This includes regular chimney cleanings to remove creosote and ensure proper operation of the flue. Also be sure to mark dates for inspections on a regular basis in your calendar, as this will allow you to avoid expensive repairs and prolong the life of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Many people choose to install wood-burning fireplaces due to the warmth and natural beauty they provide. However, this type of fire requires some upkeep and maintenance. If not cleaned and maintained regularly the chimney, flue, and stove could be potential sources of electric fires in your home. Fireplaces are also an excellent source of warmth when the power goes out, particularly in winter when snow storms can cause branches of trees to fall and knock down under-hanging power lines.

By using a wood stove to heat your home, you can reduce your carbon footprint when compared to other fossil fuel sources like gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts and fireplaces are built to conform to 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 and you'll use less of it to produce the same amount of heat.

The fireplaces require some maintenance and care. They should be placed away from combustible material and have a screen installed. Air flow will be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and debris. This will keep the fire burning longer and your home clean. It is recommended that your stove and chimney swept at least once a year to avoid creosote accumulation which could be a fire hazard and obstructions that could hinder ventilation.

A wood-burning stove will need to be maintained on a regular basis and it may take time for a new homeowner to master the art of how to light, ignite, and maintain a steady fire in the fireplace insert. But, once you've mastered the art of building and maintaining the fire in your wood burner, it can be a source of constant pleasure that will provide warmth and warmth to your home year after year.

Wood burning fireplaces have been in use in one form or another for more than 500 years and they've gained a new following because of their effectiveness as well as their sustainability and natural warmth and smell of real wood. If you're thinking about buying a new heater, talk with your local Regency certified dealer to find out more about the benefits of an insert or stove made of wood for your home.
