Wood Smoke Stories

Too many using wood stoves in a UK village

House with a heat recovery system in a UK village. Too many people are using wood stoves as a primary source of heating – this has necessitated installing activated carbon filters in addition to the particulate filters to ensure clean air inside. At least the house is airtight.

Laughingly the local council state that we are a clean air zone – I think it’s cleaner in London in the winter!
