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

Some people are concerned that wood-burning stoves can contribute to climate change however this isn't true. Wood burning is a carbon neutral energy source. Throughout the lifetime of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burnt, the absorbed carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

These units re-ignite gases and particles that were ignited during the initial burning in a second stage by mixing them superheated air. They then funnel the remaining gasses and particulates through a catalytic combustor to create a third and final combustion, decreasing emissions to levels well below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest possible efficiency. This results in the release of minimal particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and ventilation of gases to ensure the combustion process takes place in a sealed and controlled environment.
