Efficiency
A fire-pit stove is highly efficient in converting logs into heat. Unlike heating oil, coal and gas wood is an energy source that is renewable. It also has a smaller carbon footprint than other fossils. The majority of wood burning stoves on the market are EPA certified to ensure the highest efficiency and environmental safety. They come with catalytic combustion units to reduce the amount of unburned volatile compounds that are released into the smoke from the chimney.
