If you live in a smoke control area you should consider an EPA-certified wood stove. They must meet strict emission standards to reduce harmful particulates and pollutant emissions.
Catalytic and Non-Catalytic
Wood stoves are designed for burning logs of wood efficiently to generate heat. These units can be powered by soft and hard wood and are a more efficient heating alternative than an open fireplace. They can attain an efficiency that is high, up to 80% compared to 15 to 15% with an open fireplace. They also use less fuel, which decreases your carbon footprint.
EPA regulations set a mandatory smoke emissions limit of 4.1 grams per hour (for catalytic stoves) and 7.5 grams/h (for non-catalytical stoves). Over the years, manufacturers have been developing technology for combustion to meet these standards.
Catalytic stoves utilize a catalyst, often made of palladium or platinum to reduce the temperature of ignition for combustion gases. This ensures all gases are burned and results in a cleaner, less polluting burn. Due to their efficient combustion, these stoves can also last longer in the flame.
Modern non-catalytic stoves utilize a system of baffles and stainless steel tubes to ignite the lingering gasses and initiate secondary combustion. This reduces the amount of unburned gases that are sent through the chimney, and produces a more beautiful active flame display. Non-catalytical stoves are easier to use and don't require regular cleaning or replacement of catalysts.
Both catalytical and non-catalytical stoves can be used in combination with a venting device that allows them to burn hard and soft wood at the same rate of efficiency. Two options will allow you to get the most value from your wood and help you choose the best wood-burning stove that fits your home.
