Most of the wood burning stoves that are available are EPA-certified to ensure the highest efficiency and environmental protection. They come with catalytic combustion units to reduce the amount of unburned compounds that are released into the smoke from the chimney. These stoves are able to be able to burn up to 80% of the wood that comes into and out of the stove, leaving only a very small percentage of gases and particles to escape into the air.

Keeping the stove well maintained is one of the best methods to improve the efficiency of its heating. This can be achieved by adjusting the dampers as necessary.

The primary source of oxygen for most wood stoves is a valve under or beside the grate, and some are equipped with a damper that opens and closes to control the flow of air. Keep a bucket of ice water at hand to dispose of smouldering wood logs.

Certain stoves are designed to be multi-fuel. This means they can run by oil or gas in addition to wood.
