They then channel the remaining gasses and particulates through a catalytic combustion combustor for the third and final combustion, further reducing emissions to a level that is well below the government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest efficiency possible. This results in the emission of a small amount of particles into the air when burning wood.
