It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants like benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling this type of air pollution can cause irritation to the lung, coughing, wheezing and asthma attacks. It can even cause serious health conditions such as cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Many people are concerned that using a wood-burning stove could contribute to climate change however this isn't necessarily the case. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source.

These units ignite the gases and particulates that were ignited during the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then transferred to a catalytic unit for a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels far below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest possible efficiency. This results in minimal dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and exhaust of gases, ensuring that the combustion process occurs in a sealed and controlled environment. It also regulates the flame's height to minimize emissions and increase the heat output.
