If they are not properly maintained or use wood that is of poor quality, the smoke that is produced contains fine particles, often referred to as particulate pollutants that can cause irritation to the lungs and other body organs. Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also found in. Inhaling this type of air pollution could cause irritation of the lungs wheezing, coughing 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. Wood burning is a carbon neutral energy source. In the course of the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when it is burnt, the carbon absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is sourced locally, which reduces the amount of pollution produced during the transport process. It is also essential to select top quality well-seasoned hardwoods, as they will provide an extended and more consistent burning time than softwoods.

A wood-burning stove that has an acatalytic converter or hybrid unit can offer the ultimate low-carbon option for heating. These units re-ignite gasses and particles released from the initial combustion in a second phase by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gasses and particulates are transported through a catalytic combustion unit for a final third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels far below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest possible efficiency. This results in the release of minimal particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and ventilation of gases, ensuring that the combustion process takes place in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to minimize emissions and increase heat output.

Smoke from poorly combusted wood is a source of fine particulate pollutants as well as dangerous air pollutants like carbon monoxide, as well as other dangerous air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as benzene and formaldehyde.
