The Best Woodburners

The relaxation and blood pressure-reducing benefits of a wood burning stove have been documented. What about the tiny soot particles that they release?

Luckily, new stoves are built with the EcoDesign directive in the back of your mind. So you can enjoy a warm, cozy home, and not break your environmental obligations.
