These units re-ignite gasses and particles that were ignited during the initial combustion in a second phase by mixing them with superheated air. The remaining gases and particulates are then pumped through a catalytic combustion unit for a final third combustion. This further reduces emissions to levels well below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest efficiency possible. This results in the release of a small amount of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and ventilation of gases to ensure the combustion process is conducted in a sealed and controlled environment.
