The Real FACTS - Don't believe what you read in some media
As we come into the colder season there are a number of misleading and wrong reports doing the rounds on wood burning stoves and log burners. Much of the confusion has come from statistics that lump in modern stoves with older stoves, open fires and bonfires and then present a grouped figure for emissions. This very much distorts the data.
LET'S BE CLEAR! An EcoDesign Ready stove and all the stoves displayed in Morleys Showrooms and the ONLY ones that we Install and sell to our clients is a clean and an environmentally sound choice when heating your home.
Stoves (such as the Charnwood pictured) produces 90% fewer emissions than an open fire and 80% less than older designed stoves by using ultra clean burn technology that is carbon neutral (Wood gives off the same amount of carbon whether it is burnt or decays naturally. The carbon released from burning wood is balanced out by the carbon absorbed by the tree during its lifetime).
Also wood is a renewable, sustainable fuel that can be sourced locally. With well managed woodlands, well seasoned wood and stoves with clean burn technology there is a strong future for wood burning stoves. Wouldyou rather burn fossil fuels such as oil? (the key word is FOSSIL - just saying)
