The temperate and tropical rain forests have an abundant supply of wood which most often becomes the chief source of cooking and heating in those regions. As wood is readily available and is recyclable, a properly managed woodlot can be a healthier ecosystem than an untended lot.

The temperate and tropical rain forests have an abundant supply of wood which most often becomes the chief source of cooking and heating in those regions. As wood is readily available and is recyclable, a properly managed woodlot can be a healthier ecosystem than an untended lot. A well managedwoodlot culls trees to fuel for home heating while trees suitable for lumber and other use are left to grow. Lumber that ends up as wastes after the cutting is either used as landfills or is used as fire wood, which is a cheap source of energy compared to the available few. The firewood derived from hard wood trees tends to burn slower and longer owing to their density while the softer woods burn fast and produce more smoke. When wood burns, the volatile resins impregnated in the wood are the visible flames in a fire and the glowing embers are the carbon structure of the wood, which is charcoal.
As there are several different resins in the wood which ignite at different temperatures, in an old slow burning stove, the temperature might not be hot enough to ignite all of the resins. The Old stove burned incompletely resulting in a large amount of particulate matter in the smoke. Older wood burning stove often emitted as much as 30-70 grams of particulate matter an hour. In old-style wood burning stoves, once the fire started burning well, you would have to cut back on the air intake to have the fire smoldering rather than burning briskly if you wanted a longer burn and more even heat, but the lower temperature of the fire meant more unburned resins going up the flue. On cooling as it exits, it precipitated as creosote on the inside of the stove pipe which posed the threat of a major fire hazard.
An old design wood burning stove or a used wood burning stove from the past isn't going to have nearly the efficiency as a modern Clean-burning stove where the manufacturers of the modern designs have made serious attempts to ignite and burn off the flue gases by injecting hot air in to the path of the smoke, but not exclusively. If you are looking to heat up a small room with a wood burning stove, the Charnwood Country 4 is a wood burning stove fitted with clean burn technology for optimal heating and is the smallest in the Charnwood Country Range with an output of 4kW. The clean burn technology in the Charnwood Country 4 ensure a cleaner exhaust through double combustion of your choice fuel and the volatile by-products emitted by the initial burning, which are re-circulated into the chamber, reignited and burnt completely thereby producing more heat from a less fuel. The Clean-burn air-wash technology keeps soot and other deposits from staining the glass door while maintaining it beautifully clear, giving you an life long uninterrupted view of the fire. It also comes with an optional multi-fuel riddling grate for burning other kinds of fuel and an ash pan for easy disposal of ash. The Country 4 also comes with an optional boiler or radiator attachment, is available in 8 colours and can reach your home within 2 – 5 days from placing an order for one at £512 @ a discount of 18%.
