Just read this https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/wood-burning-stoves/article/wood-burning-stoves-what-you-need-to-know/stoves-and-pollution

Also read a guardian article who paints a much gloomier picture. Hardly any facts or links to resources, just the usual blah feeding the worry amongst people.

Conclusion is that most pollutants comes from burning wet logs or coal in inefficient stoves. No shit Sherlock. As usual, learn how to do it properly and use the right kit and it’ll be fine.

Heh. My Dad was in London during the Great Smog event.

Smoggy

He couldn't see his hand in front of his face at the time.

So they banned cheap coal.

Now we have the problem that houses that have full gas fired central heating systems have to have a wood burning stove because it looks good on Instagram.

Blimey, that sounds horrible

It’s not all Instagram though is it? We’re gone use ours to save on electricity. Well keep the thermostat on 12 degrees or so, then light a fire each morning. Hopefully one or two fires a day will keep the studio warm. But yeah, you have a point.
