The Benefits of Wood Stoves A wood-burning stove is able to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in any room. New regulations have replaced fireplaces that billow smoke. The new DEFRA Smoke Exempt appliances have lower emissions levels and allow you to use a log burner in any UK smoke control area. They still contribute to high levels of PM2.5. Cleaner Burning Wood burning and open fire stoves release a lot of fine particles, particularly when they are not maintained in a proper manner. According to a new report by the European Environmental Bureau, a single household wood burner produces as much dust per hour as six diesel vehicles. These emissions are the main source of air pollution and contribute to poor health for people living near to the roads, where pollution levels are often worse. These emissions can also affect the climate as pollutants can cross boundaries and have global effects. The good news is wood burners are cleaner now than they used to be, and this is due to the technological advancements. In addition to banning the sale of traditional house coal and limiting the sales of wet wood, which is typically found on garage forecourts the government will make sure that the stoves that are sold will comply with EU eco-design regulations. The new wood-burning stoves will utilize an efficient method of combustion that will reduce emissions substantially. Modern log burners feature an 'airwash system' which protects against a dirty glass. It works by drawing the flow of air around the stove glass to keep it in good condition, even if the fire is still burning.
