The traditional pot-bellied stove is a thing of the past - today’s
wood stove models feature improved safety and efficiency. They produce
almost no smoke, minimal ash, and require less firewood. They can be
sized to heat
a family room, a small cottage, or a full-sized home. The best choices
are appliances labeled by the Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada
(ULC). They should
be
certified to be low-emission according to EPA standards. While older
uncertified stoves and fireplaces release 40 to 60 grams of smoke
per hour; new EPA-certified
stoves produce only 2 to 5 grams of smoke per hour. For
technical details on wood stoves, see technical information @ http://www.epa.gov/woodstoves/technical.html.
EPA certified wood stoves burn more cleanly and efficiently, save you money,
reduce the risk of fire, and improve air quality inside and outside your
home. Check the http://www.epa.gov/Compliance/resources/publications/monitoring/caa/woodstoves/certifiedwood.pdf.
