Some people worry that using a wood-burning stove could contribute to climate change, but this is not necessarily the case. Wood burning is a carbon neutral energy source. Throughout the lifetime of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when it is burnt, the absorbed carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

Since the wood is sourced locally this decreases the amount of pollution that is released during transportation. It is important to use hardwoods that are seasoned and of top quality. They burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

These units ignite the particulates and gases from the initial combustion in a subsequent stage by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then pumped through a catalytic combustion unit for a final and third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels that are below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are designed to burn fuel with the best efficiency possible. This results in the emission of minimal particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and venting of gases, ensuring that the combustion process takes place in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates the flame's height to minimise emissions and maximise the heat output.
