Efficiency

A fire-pit stove is highly efficient in the conversion of wood into heat. Wood is a renewable source of energy and is not dependent on heating oil, coal, and gas. It also has a lower carbon footprint than other fossils. The majority of wood burning stoves on the market today are EPA-certified to provide the highest efficiency and environmental protection. They come with catalytic combustion units in order to reduce the amount of unburned substances in the smoke that escapes the chimney. The stoves can burn up to 80% of wood that comes into and leaves the stove. This leaves a tiny amount of gases and particles in the air.
