What is the best air filter to get?

[Svalen24]

I am planning to install a wood stove in my basement.

My wife is pregnant and will not be going in the basement,
I will be going down there to load the stove.

I have a forced hot air system with a zone upstairs and a zone in
The basement with a hepa filter.

What is the method to filter my air? Is it important
To find a filter that deals with Carbon Monoxide?

I plan to install air quality monitors in the basement and upstairs
As well.

Do you think I could get any spikes in carbon monoxide
Or anything else upstairs where my wife would be?

I plan to keep a basement window cracked open all winter.

Any insights are helpful.

Thanks

No air filter removes carbon monoxide. Install and operate your stove properly and its not a worry. But as always you should have high quality CO monitors and alarms if you have any fuel burning appliances

FWIW. Over the last 10 yrs. I don't think our CO monitor has ever registered any CO.

I had a marginal chimney reverse draft at the end of a burn once. The CO detector notified us.

Installing in a basement can have issues. If your walls aren’t insulated, you can lose 30% of your heat through the walls. It may cost you more to install a woodstove and try to heat in that circumstance.

What was said above a properly installed stove and you will have no issue.. Keeping a window open is sort of counter productive.
