Residential wood burning stoves and wood fireplace inserts are now certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to produce as much as 90 percent less wood smoke emissions than uncertified wood burning stoves and inserts. While older uncertified wood stoves and fireplaces release 40 to 60 grams of smoke per hour; new EPA-certified wood stoves and fireplaces produce only 2 to 5 grams of smoke per hour. EPA certified wood stoves burn more cleanly and efficiently, save you money, reduce the risk of fire, and improve air quality inside and outside your home. Stop wasting and start saving by upgrading to a low-emission hearth appliance! Woodstoves and fireplace inserts manufactured after 1992 are more efficient than old, uncertified woodstoves and produce approximately 70 percent less smoke. Clean-burning EPA certified units also use 1/3 less firewood for a comparable amount of heat. And, with gas or electric units, the numbers are incredible. The benefits are worth the limited time
