Some people are concerned that wood-burning stoves can cause climate change however this isn't true. Burning wood is a carbon neutral energy source. In the course of the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when burned the carbon dioxide absorbed is released back into the atmosphere.

The remaining gasses and particulates are pumped through a catalytic combustion unit to create a final and third combustion. This reduces emissions to levels far below the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest efficiency possible. This results in the emission of minimal particles into the air when burning wood.
