These units re-ignite gasses and particles that were ignited during the initial combustion in a second phase by mixing them superheated air. They then channel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustor to create the third and final combustion, further the reduction of emissions to levels well below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest efficiency. This results in minimal dust emissions into the atmosphere when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and venting of gases to ensure that the combustion process takes place in a sealed and controlled environment.
