1. A combustion apparatus comprising:
a combustion chamber with an exhaust flue;
a plasma chamber comprising a plasma source for ionising gas, said plasma chamber having an ionised gas outlet that is coupled to the exhaust flue for mixing ionised gas with exhaust gas from the combustion chamber so as to allow mixing of the ionised gas with the exhaust gas from the combustion chamber in the exhaust flue; and
an air inlet which allows air to be drawn into the plasma chamber, wherein the gas that is ionised is said air,
wherein the combustion chamber is a stove, boiler, or heater.
