Why Woodflame is ecological

The quality of combustion

The principle of the Woodflame burner overfeeds oxygen (contained in the air) to the combustion of wood. Thus, the heat mixture, combustive (oxygen) and carburizing (wood) makes it possible to reach an almost perfect level of combustion. The temperature of combustion (750°C) acts like an incinerator and dissociates the toxins present in wood (dioxane, furan, methanol, etc). Moreover, the exclusive use of hard wood, excludes resinous derivatives (creosote) carcinogenic. The quality of combustion is observable by the absence of smoke and soot, coming from the burner once the wood is ignited. In fact, the only smoke generated by Woodflame is carried out at the time of lighting and wood restocking or at the time of closing off the blower in the course of combustion (to smoke food for example). The presence of smoke or suspended particles in smoke is always caused by an incomplete and imperfect combustion such as slow combustion of a fire place or wood stove.

The use of a renewable energy

Wood is regarded as a renewable energy according to the international governments and organizations' on the energy management. Therefore, the use of wood as combustible is in oneself an ecological solution compared to propane, natural gas or the electricity produced by fossile fuels. Moreover, quantity of wood necessary being so weak (approximately 250g for a typical meal) and of reduced dimension, that the use of the residues of the wood industry, branches of pruning, shaving or sticks reconstituted containing bits of saw dust (Écolog) makes it possible to safeguard the trees since it is not necessary to cut down any trees to operate a Woodflame. Also think that you can run a Woodflame at full capacity, with an almost perfect combustion for a full hour with less wood than it is necessary to only light a fire place or wood stove.
