Efficient Heating

If you utilize your wood-burning stove in a proper manner it will be the most cost-effective heating source for your home.

The amount of heat a stove produces is based on the combustion efficiency and the extent to which your home is properly insulated.

Modern wood burners have a triple air system that provides thermal efficiency, a clear burn and controllable flame pattern. This technology is offered in both free standing wood stoves and fireplace inserts. They use a metal tube to heat secondary air that is pumped into the firebox through the flames. This increases the oxygen supply to the volatile gases that are in the smoke, which speeds up the burning process. This leads to more heat and fewer particulates in the exhaust gases.

Wood stoves that use catalytic combustor technologies burn much more efficiently and prevent the accumulation of flammable creosote.
