It also contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause lung irritation and trigger asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and irritation of the lungs. It can also lead to heart disease, cancer or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood burning stove will contribute to climate change however this isn't necessarily true. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its lifespan. When burned, the carbon is released into the atmosphere.

The wood is sourced locally, which reduces the amount pollution that is produced during the transport process. It is also essential to use high quality well-seasoned hardwoods, as they will give a longer and more even burning time than softwoods.

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

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

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

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the highest efficiency that is achievable. This results in a minimum amount of emissions of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and ventilation of gases, ensuring that the combustion process is conducted in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximize the output of heat and reduce emissions.

This means your chimney and the surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves.

The smoke from wood burning is also an element that contributes to poor urban air quality.

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