Are Wood-Burning Stoves Bad for Your Health?

When properly maintained and used, wood-burning stoves generally do not pose significant health risks. While it’s true that smoke from these stoves can be a pollutant and may lead to coughing or shortness of breath, proper use alongside a well-maintained chimney or flue can mitigate these issues.

Modern wood-burning stoves are significantly more efficient and safer than older models. If you have any concerns about your stove, consider upgrading to a newer, more efficient model.
