Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also found in.

It could even cause serious health issues such as cancer, heart disease, or premature death.

Some people fear that using a wood burning stove can cause climate change, but this is not necessarily true. The combustion of wood produces energy that is carbon neutral. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its lifespan. When burned carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

The wood is produced locally, which reduces the amount pollution that is produced during the transport process. It is also important to select top quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will give an extended and more consistent burn than softwoods.

These units ignite gasses and particles that were ignited during the initial burning in a subsequent phase by mixing them with superheated air. They then funnel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustion combustor for a third and final combustion, 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 efficiency. This results in a minimum amount of particles emitted into the atmosphere when burning wood.
