It also contains carbon monoxide as well as toxic air pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling these types of air pollution may cause irritation of the lungs as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks. It could even lead to serious health conditions such as cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Some people fear 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. Through the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when it is burned, the absorbed carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

These units ignite gasses and particles from the initial burning in a second stage by mixing them superheated air. They then funnel the remaining particulates and gasses through a catalytic combustion combustor for an additional and final combustion, further the reduction of emissions to levels much lower than the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest possible efficiency. This results in a minimum amount of dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood.
