Wood stove use and health

  • Active since 1995, Hearth.com is THE place on the internet for free information and advice about wood stoves, pellet stoves and other energy saving equipment.

    We strive to provide opinions, articles, discussions and history related to Hearth Products and in a more general sense, energy issues.

    We promote the EFFICIENT, RESPONSIBLE, CLEAN and SAFE use of all fuels, whether renewable or fossil.
So far have not seen any bumps for VOC or PM2.5 from the Progress Hybrid at all, including when it went black for a while and then did an explosive whoosh. Cooking, on the other hand, is pretty surprising, even though we have a very good range hood that vents to outdoors. Both VOC and PM2.5 bump quite a bit.
