However, if they're not maintained well or made of poor quality wood the smoke generated by them is contaminated with fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can irritate the lungs and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation to the lungs and lead to asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and irritation of the lungs. It may also cause cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people are concerned that wood-burning stoves can contribute to climate change, but this isn't necessarily true. Wood burning is a carbon neutral energy source. In the course of the life 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 in the process of transportation. It is essential to select hardwoods that have been 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 much lower emissions than older stoves. They are certified to meet 2020 EPA standards that are significantly stricter than previous emission limits.

A wood burning stove with an acatalytic converter or hybrid unit can provide the best low-carbon option for heating. These units ignite the particulates and gases from the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then funnel the remaining gasses and particulates through a catalytic combustion combustor for the third and final combustion, further the reduction of emissions to levels much lower than the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest efficiency. This means that there are fewer 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 sealed, controlled environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximise the output of heat and reduce emissions.

This means that your chimney as well as the surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter, also known as particle pollution, resulting from incompletely burned wood can trigger respiratory issues, like wheezing and coughing, fireplace inserts (related webpage) and can contribute to heart disease as well as stroke, diabetes and other serious illnesses. The air pollution resulting from wood burning is also an element that contributes to poor urban air quality.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollution as well as hazardous air pollutants like carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

The more seasoned the wood is the more efficient it will be as well, so you'll burn less of it to produce the same amount of heat.

These fireplaces require some maintenance and attention, including making sure they are not in close proximity to burning materials and a screening is in place. Air flow will be improved by keeping the grate free of ash and debris. This will help keep the fire burning longer and your home clean.
