Is Your Wood Burning Stove Polluting the Air?
A wood-burning stove can smoke the street if it is run badly. Wet wood, a lazy fire and a dirty flue all make more particulate smoke.
Burn seasoned hardwood. Get the stove hot before you shut the air down. Have the chimney swept so creosote is not sitting in the flue. In a smoke-control area you need an exempt stove and the right fuel.
