This is accomplished by having a secondary, and sometimes even tertiary air intake. This prevents the stove being lacking oxygen during the process of combustion, and reduces the amount black smoke it releases.

These modern stoves are also designed to produce less harmful particulate pollution than earlier models. This is crucial because particulate matter can get into the bloodstream and circulate around the body, lodging in the lungs and heart. This can lead to serious health problems and even premature death.
