Many people are concerned that using a wood burning stove can cause climate change, but this is not necessarily the case. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon-neutral. In the course of the life of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide, and when it is burnt, the absorbed carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are made to burn fuel with the highest efficiency possible. This results in the emission of a small amount of particles into the air when burning wood.
