丹麦越来越多地使用燃木炉作为家庭取暖的来源，这一发展导致居民区出现相当程度的颗粒污染。本文报告了一项关于燃木炉用户的社会学研究，其结果被解释为与将环境考虑纳入家庭能源消费的社会先决条件的更广泛讨论有关。燃木炉用户享有分散的、更加有形和可见的供暖供应形式，这不是更广泛的能源供应系统的一部分。此外，炉子使用者改变基础设施条件，以追求个人的家庭取暖和舒适战略，个人战略可能植根于经济考虑或对舒适和感官愉悦的渴望，进而涉及关于理想家庭的更广泛的社会文化价值。但是，具有明显环境影响的非中心和有形形式的供暖并不一定导致将环境问题纳入国内能源消费做法。
The use of wood-burning stoves as a source of household heating is increasing in Denmark, a development that is leading to considerable levels of particle pollution in residential neighbourhoods. This article reports from a sociological study of wood-burning stove users, the results of which are interpreted in relation to broader discussions regarding social preconditions for integrating environmental considerations into household energy consumption. Wood-burning stove users enjoy a decentralized and also more tangible and visible form of heating supply, one that is not part of wider energy supply systems. Moreover, stove users alter infrastructural conditions in order to pursue personal strategies for domestic heating and comfort, personal strategies that may be rooted in economic considerations or in the desire for homeliness and sensuous pleasure, referring in turn to broader socio-cultural values regarding the ideal home. A de-central and tangible form of heating, with visible environmental impact, does, however, not necessarily lead to integration of environmental concerns into domestic practices for energy consumption.
