Why Change Out Your Wood Stove or Fireplace?

Older wood stoves and fireplaces emit far more air pollution than newer U.S. EPA-certified wood-burning appliances or heaters using other fuels. These emissions can affect your health and that of your neighbors.

A natural gas stove or fireplace, which burns cleaner, starts easy, and costs less to operate. Gas stoves and fireplace inserts come in many sizes and styles, can fit inside an existing fireplace, and produce lots of heat and little smoke. Old wood stoves can produce more than 400 times as much particulate pollution as gas stoves.

New wood stoves have advanced well beyond the traditional pot-bellied model. These stoves produce abundant heat, little pollution, and use less wood. Older model wood stoves may produce up to 30 grams of particulates per hour, but a newer EPA-certified wood stove produces no more than 7 grams per hour by controlling air flow and temperature for an efficient burn.

Pellet stoves, which use a renewable fuel, are among the cleanest burning they produce about 1 gram of particulates per hour.
