As energy bills continue to rise, many households are turning to wood burning stoves as a cheaper alternative to stay warm.
However, these types of heaters pose both health and environmental issues and there are certain regulations when it comes to owning one.
Not only have they been linked to cancer risks, they also emit large amounts of carbon dioxide, which wreaks havoc on Earth's climate. Certain rules are now in place for wood burners to ensure they are safer and meet lower emissions standards.
