Reduce Wood Smoke of Stoves


I believe that, most indivuals using wood stoves must meet such a situation, see a lot of smoke coming from a chimney. This's air pollution and inefficiency.

Wood smoke results from incomplete burning of wood, so this leads to the low efficiency. When released outdoors, or accidently indoors, it's an air pollution. Breathing air containing wood smoke is not healthy. Wood smoke contains a mixture of gases and fine particles that can cause burning eyes, runny nose, and bronchitis. Fine particles can aggravate existing diseases such as asthma, emphysema, pneumonia and bronchitis, heart disease, espcecially in people of young and old ages.

In addition, long term exposure to wood smoke may lead to: Chronic obstructive lung disease. Chronic bronchitis. Increased risk of cancer, and genetic mutations (based on animal studies).

So, what could you do to reduce wood stoves smoke coming form the chimney? Here are some ways. Burning clean, dry, well-seasoned hardwoods such as oak or maple. And replace older stoves with newer, certified cleaner wood burning stoves.

Furthermore, learn the correct way to use your stove, such as properly installed, correctly used EPA certified wood stove releases significantly less pollution into the environment. As EPA certified wood stoves burn wood more completely; therefore, they emit 60% to 80% less pollution.

For small areas of rust on the stove, use a wire brush, steel wool or a scrubbing pad. For larger rust stains on the stove or for stubborn stains, use a commercial rust remover. Even though it is extremely effective in cleaning away rust, but also toxic because of the strong acids. So be careful. Don't forget to buy some heat-proof paint, rubber gloves and dust mask if you don't have any. (Certainly, wire brush and rust remover is also good for removing the surface rust that forms on other cast iron furniture.)
