Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic such as benzene and formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also found in. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation of the lung and cause asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing and irritation of the lungs. It can also lead to cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people are concerned that wood-burning stoves will contribute to climate change, but this isn't necessarily true. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. The wood absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its lifetime. After burning the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

Since the wood is sourced locally this decreases the amount of pollution emitted 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.

These units ignite the particulates and gases from the initial combustion at a later stage by mixing them with superheated air. They then channel the remaining gasses and particulates through a catalytic combustor for the third and final combustion, decreasing emissions to levels well below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the greatest efficiency that is achievable. This results in the emission of a small amount of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and ventilation of gases to ensure the combustion process takes place in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates flame height to maximize heat output and minimize emissions.

This means your chimney and the surrounding area will be much cleaner than older stoves.
