Is A Wood Burning Stove An Eco Friendly Choice?
Well-designed wood burning stoves lined with vermiculite help to increase the stove temperature – improving efficiency. This saves money on fuel as less wood is burnt. It also helps to reduce carbon emissions. Wood as a fuel is green, sustainable, renewable, and if burnt cleanly can be 100% carbon neutral, as it gives off as much carbon dioxide when burnt as it absorbed during the lifetime of the tree. Wood pellet stoves burn pellets made from recycled wood waste or sawdust; find out more at Wood Pellet Stoves. However, the flame effect of a pellet stove is not as good as a log-burning stove.
