There is a lot of focus on wood-burning stoves and the environment. It is a fact that particles are emitted into the environment when you lit up your wood-burning stove. The wood-burning stoves of today are, however, much more environmentally friendly than older models as they burn cleaner. If you are going to think about the environment, while still enjoying the warm flames of your wood-burning stove, you need to fire it properly. Firing correctly allows you to minimise particle emissions which are harmful to the environment.  Read how to fire your stove correctly here.   We have thought about the environment on your behalf We think it is important that our stoves are not an unnecessary environmental burden. Therefore, we have made sure that every single VARDE stove has been subjected to careful testing by independent testing agencies for environmental impact.  This means that you get a wood-burning stove that meets the strictest environmental standards in Europe.
