Defra approved wood burners with clean burn technology are engineered to utilize pre-heated air which is then delivered directly to the firebox, where it mixes with the gases being released from the fuel. This process allows the unburned hydrocarbons to ignite before they are released directly through the chimney and into the air. Clean burn wood stoves are therefore more sustainable than older models without this innovative technology.
