Carbon monoxide, toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also in the. Inhaling these types of air pollution could cause lung irritation, coughing, wheezing and asthma attacks and may even lead to serious health issues like heart disease, cancer, or premature death.

Some people worry that using a wood burning stove will contribute to climate change however this isn't necessarily true. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon neutral. Through the life of a tree, it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burned, the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is local, which decreases the amount of pollution produced during the transport process. It is also important to use high quality, seasoned hardwoods as these will have an extended and more consistent burning time than softwoods.

These units ignite gasses and particles from the initial combustion in a subsequent phase by mixing them superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then pumped through a catalytic combustion unit for a final third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels far below the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest efficiency possible. This means that there are fewer emissions of particles into the air when burning wood. The stove's air management system regulates the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process is conducted in a sealed, controlled environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximize heat output and minimise emissions.
