In an effort to decrease their dependence on expensive foreign and domestic oil supplies, an increasing number of U.S. citizens are using wood stoves to heat their residences. Air pollution resulting from this new heating trend in several U.S. locations is discussed. Steps that individual wood stove users can take to make their stoves pollute less include burning seasoned hardwood, allowing each new load of burn to burn briskly for at least 15 minutes before changing the draft control, burning small loads of wood, installing a stack thermometer to determine peak stove efficiencies, and keeping chimneys clean.
