It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling these types of air pollution could cause irritation of the lungs, coughing, wheezing and asthma attacks and may even lead to serious health issues like cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Many are concerned that wood-burning stoves will contribute to climate changes however this isn't true. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. The wood absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its lifetime. When burned the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

The wood is local, which decreases the amount pollution that is released during transportation. It is also essential to select top quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will give an extended and more consistent burning time than softwoods.

A wood burning stove equipped with a catalytic converter or hybrid unit can offer the ultimate low-carbon option for heating. These units ignite gasses and particles from the initial burning in a second phase by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustor for an additional and final combustion, further reducing emissions to a level that is well below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the highest efficiency that is achievable. This results in the emission of very small particles into air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and ventilation of gases, ensuring that the combustion process occurs in a safe and controlled environment.
