Sure burning wood produces tiny fragments of soot and these can contribute to climate change as well as cause breathing problems.
Yes pollution from wood-stoves can be a concern in areas with limited air movement, such as valleys or densely populated towns and cities.
But where I live by the sea everybody has a wood burner stove & stack of chopped wood at the house side.
Most folks over here buy 'Kiln drying firewood' which is safe and eco-friendly because it will significantly reduce the amount of smoke produced and ensure that all the harmful particles are burned, alongside mould, bugs, and fungus.
We've got an electric air-heat pump system backed up with a separate wooded pellet fed boiler system which is really good and is more economical than original electric heating iMum & Dad had in the home.
Mum cooks on big LPG gas cylinders which we bring home but the kitchen still has an old Aga stove in place for her & Gran if required.
Really different to my old flat expensive gas boiler central heating system in UK but chain sawing and carrying logs is worth the effort & keeps us fit as a family.
