Wood Burning Stoves

Wood burning stoves are the ideal option to heat your home. They also emit radiant heat that warms the floor to your feet, not just the room's air.

Energy efficient

Wood stoves can be an excellent way to heat your home sustainably while limiting carbon emissions. They are a low carbon alternative to central heating and even electricity. They convert logs into heat that is then circulated around your home through natural convection. This means that it doesn't degrade energy by being radiated out into the surrounding space.

Modern wood stoves are energy efficient, and they reduce the amount smoke released into the air. This means that they create smaller amounts of particles that could harm your health and help you to stay clear of the smog that has been observed in cities like London.

This is because modern wood burning stoves utilize a catalytic system to re-burn gases that were not burned to greatly increase efficiency and lower emissions. There are also catalytic stoves that do not re-burn gases, but still offer an excellent efficiency and less smoke compared to an open fireplace.

Wood as a fuel can help to promote active management of forests, which can have a positive effect on wildlife. The wood used in wood burning stoves is sourced locally and is a renewable and sustainable resource.

As was mentioned previously, the best quality wood to use in wood burning stoves is hardwood such as beech or oak. It should be split, cut and seasoned before it is used as fuel to ensure that it will burn efficiently. It is crucial to remember that unseasoned wood can produce toxic smoke which can cause health issues, such as breathing in volatile chemicals.

A wood-burning stove can aid in saving money on energy bills because they are typically less expensive than electricity or central heating. It is important to note that wood heat is only effective in smaller rooms or as a second heat source. As a result, it may be more cost effective to combine wood stoves and other forms of heating in larger homes.

Environmentally Friendly

A wood stove has a lot to offer the modern homeowner. It is a low carbon, renewable heating source that can add a great deal of atmosphere to a room in the winter months. It is a social and fun activity to chop and gather the logs to heat your stove. This is a fantastic opportunity to be outdoors in good weather. It's a great family activity to find your fuel. Finding free logs in local businesses or timber dealers who are willing to buy offcuts can be a great reward.

Wood burning stoves have been recently criticised for their emissions. This has been primarily off the back of London Mayor Sadiq Khan urging an immediate stop to wood burning stoves in urban areas to help reduce PM (particulate matter) pollution. PM are tiny particles that are thinner than hairs on a human and can be extremely damaging to our health, particularly for children who are found to have more lung disease and heart problems than those who don't smoke.

Wood burning stoves are an environmentally green option, despite their negative press. They can be a great method of heating your home, and reduce the cost of heating when used properly. Modern stoves that are EPA-certified are more efficient and create less carbon dioxide than stoves made decades ago.

This is because they make use of secondary combustion to produce the most of the gases generated by burning wood. Stoves which do not use secondary combustion and instead burn the wood directly, release more PM as the smoke passes through the chimney. Modern non-catalytic stoves incorporate innovations in design, such as firebox insulation, a large baffle to create a hotter gas flow path and pre-heated combustion air to help the secondary combustion process which produces less harmful emissions.

As the demand for energy-efficient wood burners continues to rise, so do the requirements for heat output specifications. New stoves are designed to meet the demands of these buyers. This is great for the environment since it reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Savings

Modern wood burning stoves come with an energy efficiency rating of high. This is in contrast to traditional open fires, which may be able to lose as much as 80% of the heat through the chimney. The majority of heat generated by log burners is used to warm your home. This is not only beneficial for your wallet, but also for the environment. Lower fuel consumption equals less emissions.

Wood stoves are also more efficient in dispersing heat than conventional furnaces. The heating coils of wood stoves are not located in the ceiling of your home, but in the floor. This type of heat distribution permits your home to be heated more evenly.

It will also take less wood to heat your home using wood stoves than with an open fire stove. This could reduce the cost of storing and purchasing logs. The fact that wood is renewable makes it a green method to heat your home, especially as many countries are now trying to shift away from fossil fuels like oil and coal.

If you have a new wood stove, then it's most likely a catalytic or non-catalytic model. Catalytic models help reduce pollution by reburning a portion of the combustion gasses. Non-catalytic wood stoves do not reburn part of the combustion gases and have lower efficiency ratings than catalytic stoves.

When you purchase a stove it is important to ensure that it is certified by the ClearSkies scheme to ensure it is in compliance with air quality standards. This scheme is independently audited to ensure that the stove you own reduces the indoor air pollution.

However, you must be aware that it is still not possible to completely eliminate the pollution caused by burning wood in the stove. Wood stoves are ideal for heating homes which are smaller and generally open space. In such situations you might have to sit in front of the stove to feel the warmth. After some time, this could become a bit boring!

Multi-faceted

Wood burning stoves are a staple in our homes. Through the years they have proven their versatility. They can enhance any décor regardless of whether it's traditional, contemporary or even eclectic. There are many different designs of wood burning stoves that are available each with its own distinct style and personality. Some are made from stainless steel while others are made of soapstone or cast iron like the Westfire Uniq 23. Each one is unique, with its own veining and color.

There are two kinds of wood-burning stoves namely stoves which only burn wood and stoves that also burn oil or natural gas. Single-fuel stoves generally perform better than multi-fuel models due to the fact that they're designed for a specific fuel.

Backpacking stoves can be used as an example of a single-fuel wood stove. They are light and can be used on an excursion to warm a flask or boil water. They are usually small wood burning stoves, and can be easily packed in a backpack or tucked into a fanny bag.

The most modern single-fuel wood stoves is designed with energy efficiency in mind. They can be fitted with secondary heat-retaining glazing or redesigned with combustion air jets as well as an air flow diverter to reach higher combustion temperatures to improve efficiency. Some stoves can achieve more than 80% efficiency, which is a significant improvement over previous models, which could only achieve 15%.

Certain wood burning stoves feature turn dampers to control the flow of gas and smoke from the stove to the chimney. The turn dampers, which are rotateable, let you slow down or speed up the exit of exhaust gases from the stove, thereby managing the amount of heat that is retained.

The wood-burning stove can be an affordable, environmentally friendly and versatile source of heat. However, it is essential to choose the right model.
