It also contains carbon monoxide as well as harmful air pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling air pollution can cause lung irritation and trigger asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and lung irritation. It can also lead to cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Many people are concerned that using a wood burning stove can cause climate change, but this is not necessarily the case. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its life. After burning the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

The wood is local, which decreases the amount pollution that is released during transportation. It is crucial to choose hardwoods that have been seasoned and of top quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

A wood-burning stove equipped with an integrated unit or catalytic converter is the most efficient low carbon solution for heating. These units re-ignite the particulates and gases from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining gasses and particulates through a catalytic combustor to create an additional and final combustion, further decreasing emissions to levels much lower than the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest efficiency possible. This results in minimal emissions of particles into the air when burning wood. The stove's air management system regulates the intake and venting of gases, making sure that the combustion process is conducted in a controlled, sealed atmosphere.
