Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Before I freeze at 18°C in the living room, I'd rather keep burning wood for 15-20€ a month. But everyone is different, and if that doesn't bother you, that's totally fine. For me, that would definitely be too cold, but I'm also a cold person. And with 2 toddlers who play on the floor all day, that's out of the question for me, even if it wouldn't bother me.

This is not meant to be offensive at all, but wood stoves with toddlers should be absolutely taboo. The fine dust pollution indoors has a devastating effect on health. The likelihood of, for example, getting infections increases significantly, as does asthma. While understanding the difficult situation, the savings are not worth it.

Phew, someone is really spouting some flat jokes,

is not the first time and certainly not the last... just read over it. Saves nerves

This is not meant to be offensive at all, but wood stoves with small children should be absolutely taboo. The fine dust pollution indoors has a devastating effect on health. The likelihood of, for example, getting infections increases significantly, as does asthma. Despite all understanding for the tense situation, the savings are not worth it.

That is too general for me, you don't even know the stove insert we installed. Do you have a study on that? Source? I would like to read that myself.

I meant that in relation to the increased fine dust pollution indoors caused by fireplace combustion in room-air-independent fireplace inserts. That was what your warning referred to. We don't need to discuss that fine dust is unhealthy. We can gladly continue this via PM.

heizen-mit-holz-und-hirn.de has an article on this: I am not allowed to insert a link

[B][B]"Das Umweltbundesamt und das Fraunhofer Institut geben Entwarnung:[/B][/B]
The Umweltbundesamt investigated, on behalf of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety, in a comprehensive study the release of fine and ultrafine particles from various indoor sources. It was proven that "in the case of wood stoves (provided, of course, that they were professionally installed and are properly operated and maintained) no increased emissions are detectable indoors."

A comparable result was reached by a study of the Fraunhofer Institute. It states: "As long as the stove door is closed, substances are not released in significant amounts. Only when adding firewood do emissions enter the room air. Then, the researchers were able to measure a short-term slight increase in concentration."

Yes, sure, for example here

quickly remove the link while you still can. Otherwise, there will be trouble here...

This refers to wood burning in general.

Sorry, I don't understand that, what do you mean?
