The dangers of wood burning stoves

Wood burning stoves are a fantastic addition to any home. They have become extremely popular over the last few years, for a number of reasons. Firstly they look great, but they are also environmentally friendly using carbon-neutral fuel, and are far more enery efficient than an open fire.

The problem is that not everyone understands the dangers involved in maintaining and correctly running a wood burning stove. Wood smoke contains pollutants within it which can be harmful, and it can also be a source of carbon monoxide.
