One of the main factors that determines how effective a wood burning stove is is the moisture content of the firewood. We recommend using only seasoned wood that has been dried over a period of at least one year and in some cases, two years. The more dry the wood, the more efficiently it burns which means less smoke and harmful emissions. |

A wood-burning stove also is an environmentally friendly fuel source, which is great for the environment. By purchasing locally sourced wood, you can also help to support the active conservation and management of forests. This is great for wildlife. |

If properly maintained, wood-burning fireplaces and stoves emit very little pollution when they are operated with seasoned and dry firewood. However, when they are not well maintained or made of poor quality wood the smoke generated by them contains fine particles (known as particulate pollution) that can cause irritation to the lung and other organs. Carbon monoxide, air pollutants that are toxic like formaldehyde and benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are also found in. Inhaling these types of air pollution may cause irritation to the lung as well as wheezing, coughing, and asthma attacks. It can even lead to serious health issues like cancer, heart disease or premature death. |

Some people fear that using a wood-burning stove can cause climate change, but this is not necessarily the case. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. Through the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burned, the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere. |

The wood is local, which decreases the amount pollution that is emitted in the transportation process. It is also essential to select top quality woods that are seasoned and seasoned as they will provide an extended and even burning time than softwoods. |
