WELCOME TO CHAMPION CHIMNEY SERVICES

Welcome to Champion Chimney Services, the company that gives you the information need to purchase, operate & maintain your wood burning appliance safely & efficiently. I am the man known as Brian of the Alexander family, your guide. I've been a chimney sweep for 17 years, certified WETT inspector aswell as sales and instalation of wood burning appliances such as woods stoves, inserts into existing brick fireplaces, factorybuilt fireplaces & pellet stoves.

Wood burning technology has come a long way in the last few years, stoves of today are efficient, using 2-3 cord in a typical season, burn cleaner than natural gas with the secondary burn cycle that injects air into the smoke causing it to continue burning 99% of the smoke before it enters the chimney eliminating scary chimney fires and smelly exhaust, and extra work because EPA approved wood stoves use much less wood. In fact when the appliance is properly operated there is no smoke what so ever exiting the chimney.

We all know from smoking cigarettes, and the media it gets that smoke is poisonous, smoking cigarettes is similar to burning wood, in fact any fuel that is derived from biology is what we call bioenergy (plants and animal waste) and all bioenergy is similar in chemical structure. Bio energy is is made up of various elements and compounds like anything else. The center of all life is energy, and after a living organism dies, there is energy in bioenergy that can be extracted through the burning process, that energy is carbon neutral because it is part of the above ground cycling system of Mother Earth. All biology while it is alive, soaks up CO2 and a host of other compounds and elements like a sponge to create the building blocks and energy needed to survive. When a living organism dies, there is a certain amount of energy left in the dead body, the energy is released in one of two ways.

One way is it can decay over time, slowly releasing that energy and chemicals (building blocks of life) back into the earth and atmosphere. The second way is through burning the biobody releases all its energy and elements in a mater of hours instead of years, though the same amount of elements are released back into Mother Earth, the only difference is one takes years, while the other only takes hours. Forest fires are an example of Mother Nature encorporating burning to rejuvenate quickly in a balance of life by releasing the building blocks of life over a wide area in a quick release, much the same as anyone tending to a garden applying fertilizer. Self-evidence is apparent in the lush green vegetation a year after a forest fire.

From a science point of view, burning is reverse engineering of the chemical process; actually transforming biology backwards from a solid, to a liquid, to a vapor (thick poisonous chemical concoction) , finally to plasma (vapor electrically charged) ignited through a heat source creates the burn or release of energy.

Unfortunately man in his ignorance, (gov and corp is more malice and greed than ignorance) lacks the understanding of the proper combustion process. Here in reality, the facts are there are three things that effect proper combustion, its just a matter of knowing the facts for clean burning to reduce the amount of carcinogen compounds (bad smoke) to close to zero. We all know from grade 8 science that elements are things that can not be broken down any further, thus certain things will never be reduced to abaslute zero such as carbon. But things like the carcinogen compounds like formaldehyde and benzene are not elements, indeed they are compounds, thus if the combustion process is complete, poisonous compounds such as formaldehyde and benzene and the many other poisonous compounds such as methane and nanotoxins will not be released into the air if they are consumed in proper combustion. If burnt properly bioenergy is one of the cleanest (practicly not toxic compounds or elements such as coal contains large amounts of mercury, and narural gas sulfer, thus wood is the healthist and safest energy sources on the planet, problem is government and corporations don't make any money on clean free energy, thus there is much disinformation produced by those who profit from other sources of energy such as coal and gas.

Wood is natural, as such it falls under the realms of natural law, no matter what any bureaucrat insists, natural law and the rules of natural law apply. These are the three rules of clean burning defined through natural law that are self-evident, (containing its own evidence or proof without need of further demonstration).The key to clean and complete combustion is the process in which it manifests, notice the word "man" in manifest, as man has everything to do with the ignorant burning process, as such man in his ignorance is the root of the evil that comes from manipulation for his needs without regard for the natural laws. For instance, it is self-evident that forest fires do not occur unless conditions are optimal, while man forces his will in disregard for natural law invoking his own law of codes acts and statutes. The best and most important thing anyone can do to improve airquality, is to reproduce those same optimal conditions that are present when forest fires occur. There are several natural laws that must not be breached in order for life to be preserved.

1- Moisture content;Just like your car, if you were to dump a gallon of water in your gas tank, the combustion process is

hampered. Unless wood is allowed to "season" (dry to 10-15% moisture content) the combustion

process will be hampered, how much depends on how much moisture is in the wood, the reverse

engineering process of burning is stopped half way through at the liquid and vapor stages creating

smoke. The liquid and vapor contains high concentration of chemicals like formaldehyde, and benzene

as a result. The amount of chemical emissions is visible on woodstoves as in the video above

demonstrates old and new technology to reduce and remove harmful chemicals from the air.

2-Temperature; Natural law dictates that in order for efficient combustion to occur, it is imperative for the core temperature to

reach optimal temperature, the fuel it's self must reach temperatures that allow the breakdown of molecular

structures completely to their original elements that are the building blocks of life. Therefore, in residential use, it

is important that wood be brought into the warm atmosphere of the home for at least 12-24 hours, (depending on

outside temperature). Many residential burners make the mistake of bring wood directly from outside into the fire

which hampers complete combustion resulting chemicals compounds and carcinogens being released into the

atmosphere. The longer the wood needs to bring it up to temperature, the more the combustion process is

hampered; the more smoke ,(poison pollutants) will be emitted.

3- Air/Fuel; Perhaps the single most important thing that determines emissions of any combustion process is the air/fuel

mixture, any mechanic will tell you this is the Golden rule in their job. An engine is a airpump that uses controlled

explosions to transfer the energy into harnessed energy that man can use for his personal needs, though often at the expense of the environment as fossil fuels contain many more carcinogens than bioenergy. Think of fossil

fuels as compressed biofuels, like a diamond compressed from coal, containing many more times the amount

of compounds containing carcinogens and much more elements such as CO2. Furthermore fossil fuels are

suppose to be filed away like last years tax forms, never meant to see the light of day after its use the year

before. The cycle of life is a fragile balance of give and take, fossil fuels are nolonger part of Mother Nature's

recipe for a healthy balance of life. However man in his ignorance and greed has turned his back Mother Nature, thus the self evidence is apparent in the condition of the world we live in today.

True air quality readings are not reflected in government data, its self evident, air is not supose to be blue, grey or any other colour. Though the true air quality tests are done they are not revealed to the public. World wide the air quality is so bad, smog blankets every city in the world due to corporatism.

This technology guarantee's that wood will never be banned from use, as comparing a standard fireplace that emits on average 40-60 grams of particulates hour compared to these new EPA stoves produce on average 4 grams hour, resulting in much less wood needed to heat a 2400 sqft home , 2-3 cord . Efficiency of 75% in regular noncatalytic stoves & upto 85% in catalytic stoves.

I find it very frustrating that the public, insurance companies, maniciapalities , and government in general on all levels continue to give wood appliances a bad name. Each year a misinformed citizen comes before council to ask wood to be banned with out knowing the facts. I hear every one say "I think", well thinking is great but in reality "thinking" is only the process between knowing the facts and not knowing a thing about what the hell they are speaking about.

FACT is the smarter municipalities offer a credit of $450 to exchange old style smoke belcher's for new high efficiency clean burning appliances. They also install bylaws,(as much as I hate more bylaws) that give warnings and eventually fines to the worst smoke belcher's because any appliance, old or new can really be bad if misused.If burnt properly even older units can reduce the amount of smoke emitted greatly. Older appliances have the obvious draw backs such as using as much as 10 cord, have dangerous chimney fires and are not near as clean burning, safe, or as efficient as new EPA appliances.

I also find it frustrating that people "think" that natural gas is clean and safe while in fact natural gas is very bad for the environment and is very dangerous! Many people each year are killed or hospitalized from gas poisoning and explosions from gas appliances. It's only in the last year that people are admitting that fossil fuels are bad for the environment, in fact emitting tons of acids, and other harmful chemicals not found in wood. Gas also emits 350 times more methane gas and 7 times more carbon dioxide than wood plus tons of sulferic acid. Gas is so corrosive that it eats cement away yet because it's invisible people don't realize how corrosive it is. Imagine what it's doing to your food when you grill your meat over gas, in many cases you can actually taste the gas, I believe that's what causes cancer as man has been cooking on open fires since the dawn of time with out problems. Read the article I stumbled upon on the Internet at the bottom of the page.

All life is carbon based, carbon comes from forest fires, thus we wouldn't be here today with out fire. Wood was one of mans first tools and it's likely to be one of his last if we don't make serious changes. If your building a new home consider other forms of heating and cooking than natural gas as it is anything but natural. I would like to see Natural gas fazed out completely as with new technology it is no longer needed, and we all know what fossil fuels do to the environment, 7x 's more CO2 plus many other corrosive chemicals, it is a worse polluter than gasoline if you consider the amount consumed in residential and commercial. We can now heat our homes with geothermal, heat pumps, solar power, and others.More investment is need to develop such technologies of alternatives. Sadly because heartless corporations own and operate the gas companies & influence the government it will take a long time to ban natural gas in new home construction.

Europe has embraced wood as a clean green energy source as they have lived through the industrial age and know all to well the poisons of coal and other fossil fuels. England particularly has large generators built specifically for wood that burn clean and smoke free more than any other type of fuel.It may surprise you as it did me but they are getting the wood from North America and it shipping all the way to England aswell as all over Europe and making money while cleaning the environment.Geeze didn't they talk about building a coal Generator in B.C some were as well as a Nuclear plant too.

Wood Generators are actually helping the environment as wood generates many benefits as any "biomass" energy has much less CO2 and hardly any methane gas in the exhaust. I couldn't believe articles I read and morons on TV saying "cows are polluting the earth because of the methane gas that they expel" now there's articles saying " global warming is a myth" .

Forest fires burn clean as they have perfect conditions in the hot summer heat with O% of moisture in the wood,(optimum seasoned firewood should have 10% moisture), they are like a huge generator, It is a well known fact among scientist that large hot forest fires consume the smog in the air from fossil fuels leaving a cleaner environment after the fires are out. This is true in your house aswell, as it is a mini environment, the 400F tempatures of a hot wood stove top acts as a air purifier as any bacteria in the air is killed instantly as the air cycles over the top of the stove once every 4 hours in a typical 2400 sqft home.

natural gas chimney with mortar eaten away by sulfuric acid

Tolko's Mill producing horrible smoke 24/7 365 days a year, yet Ministry of Environment ignores it.RALPH "the mouth" ADAMS says "there is nothing we can do".Commercial companies fill whole valleys with smoke even in summer yet people and gov purpose bans on residential burning.That's our government!

That old adage that people use to say "burnt toast is good for you" is true, turns out carbon from the burnt toast has many benefits to our wellbeing, makes sense as cave man has cooked over a open fire since the beginning of time, since we have stopped we have been getting sick with all sorts of nasty diseases.

CliActivated Charcoal

From Cathy Wong,

Your Guide to Alternative Medicine.

Activated Charcoal: http://altmedicine.about.com/od/completeazindex/a/charcoal.htm

Activated charcoal is type of carbon made from wood, vegetables and other materials. It looks like a fine black powder. Activated charcoal is believed to have a large adsorptive capacity, making it able to bind with unwanted substances and toxins in the gut.

Activated charcoal may help to lower cholesterol by interfering with enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. It has been found to lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.

Why Do People Use Activated Charcoal?

Detoxification, Bloating and gas, Malodorous gas, High cholesterol

Poisoning / overdose – under medical supervision. If poisoning or overdose is suspected, go immediately to the emergency department of a hospital.

Activated charcoal is also used in air and water filters.

Dosage Information

Activated charcoal is available in liquid or powder form.
