Charnwood Stoves published a well-written and referenced article highlighting and debunking the negative press about wood-burning stoves emissions that regularly populate column inches at this time of year.

The misleading information that is published, which more often than not emanates from anti-wood burning groups, demonises “wood-burning stoves” as a single category without clarifying that their source data is often many years old, includes older generation less efficient models, open grate fireplaces and even bonfires. 

More often than not the article images reference the stoves that are sold by fireplace dealers and commonly found in all households around the UK.

Heres an interesting fact for you…

Did you know that cooking a bacon sandwich or lighting a candle actually gives off more particulate emissions than an efficient, wood-burning stove inside your home?

If you have seen recent articles about wood-burning stoves and it has either

1) made you question using your own stove

or

2) dissuaded you from considering installing one or upgrading your older model

then we recommend reading the full article published by Charnwood as it includes useful, fact based evidence supporting modern efficient wood-burning stoves rather than scaremongering & misleading information largely based on little more than opinion.

There are many, benefits to using wood as a renewable heat source, hopefully by reading this article you feel more properly informed.
