Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic such as benzene and formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also present. Inhaling air pollution can cause irritation of the lung and cause asthma attacks wheezing, coughing, and irritation of the lungs. It could also cause 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. Burning wood is a carbon-neutral energy source. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide over its life. When burned the carbon dioxide is released into the air.

These units ignite the particulates and gases from the initial combustion in a second stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then transported through a catalytic combustion unit to create a final and third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels that are below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel with the highest possible efficiency. This results in a minimum amount of particles emitted into the atmosphere when burning wood. The stove's air management system regulates the intake and venting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process occurs in a sealed, controlled atmosphere.
