It also contains carbon monoxide and harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling this kind of air pollution can cause irritation to the lung wheezing, coughing and asthma attacks. It can even cause serious health conditions such as cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood burning stove will contribute to climate change however this isn't necessarily the case. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its lifetime. After burning the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

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

Modern wood stoves, including the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit less carbon dioxide than older stoves. They are certified to meet 2020 EPA standards, which are considerably more stringent than the previous emission limits.

To avoid the buildup of exhaust within your home, all wood burning stoves should be vented fully to the outside.

A wood-burning stove that has a catalytic converter or a hybrid unit can provide the best low-carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite gases and particles released from the initial burning in a second stage by mixing them superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then transported through a catalytic combustion unit to create a final and third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels far below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the best efficiency that is achievable. This results in minimal dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood. The stove's air management system regulates the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring the combustion process takes place in a closed, controlled atmosphere. It also regulates the flame's height to minimise emissions and maximise the heat output.
