They are also eco-friendly. They make use of wood, which is renewable and produces less carbon dioxide than fossil fuels do. If you purchase local wood or wood from suppliers who assure you that they will replace trees cut, your stove will be carbon-neutral. This is called a closed carbon cycle. Energy efficiency Wood stoves have been subject to some criticism in recent years, with new data suggesting they are a major cause of small particulate pollution. However, a lot of the blame has been attributed to the wrong people as the majority of these emissions are due to open fireplaces or roads, not from wood stoves. Modern log burners can be capable of achieving up to an 80% efficiency. This means that 4/5 of the energy that is stored in the logs can be converted into useful heat. It's a staggering amount when compared to earlier fireplaces and wood burning fires which often struggled to reach more than 40%-50% efficiency. One of the main reasons is that modern log burners burn wood more efficiently. This is due to a combination of improved design and the use of premium quality logs that are dried to strict standards. This improved combustion means less wood is required to produce the same amount heat, which decreases harmful emissions. A wood-burning stove can also help you save money on heating expenses. While it is true that a stove requires more maintenance than other forms of heating, the overall cost could be considerably lower. This is due to the fact that you are not bound to a fixed gas or electricity supply, which means you are able to avoid price increases by switching to an alternate fuel like wood.
