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

Some people worry that using a wood-burning stove can cause climate change, but this is not necessarily the case. Burning wood is a carbon-neutral energy source. In the course of the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide and when burned the carbon absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is sourced locally, which reduces the amount of pollution released during transportation. It is also important to select top quality, seasoned hardwoods as these will give a longer and more even burning time than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and Fireplaces wood heaters (such as those made by Charlton & Jenrick) have much lower emissions than older stoves. They have been certified to meet 2020 EPA standards which are significantly more strict than previous emission limits.

These units re-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 to create an additional and final combustion, further the reduction of emissions to levels much lower than the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest possible efficiency. This results in the release of a small amount of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and venting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process is conducted in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates the flame height to reduce emissions and maximize the heat output.
