Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation to the lungs and lead to asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and lung irritation. It may also cause heart disease, cancer or premature death.

Some people are concerned that wood-burning stoves can contribute to climate change, but this isn't necessarily true. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon neutral. The wood absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its lifetime. When burned carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

A wood-burning stove that has a catalytic converter is the best low carbon heating solution. These units re-ignite the gases and particulates that were ignited during the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gasses and particulates are pumped through a catalytic combustion unit to create a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels that are below the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are designed to burn fuel with the highest efficiency that is possible. This results in a minimum amount of emissions of particles into the air when burning wood. The stove's air management system controls the intake and exhausting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process takes place in a controlled, sealed atmosphere. It also regulates the height of the flame to reduce emissions and maximize the heat output.
