Inhaling this kind of air pollution could cause irritation of the lungs, coughing, wheezing and asthma attacks. It could even cause serious health conditions such as cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Many people are concerned 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. After burning, the carbon is released into the air.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are engineered to burn fuel with the greatest efficiency possible. This results in a minimum amount of dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood.
