Will A Log Burner Keep Me Warm? Are woodstoves good for the environment?
Compared with using fossil fuels for heat (natural gas, propane, coal, etc.) wood is eco-friendlier. It’s considered “carbon-neutral,” which means when it burns, it doesn’t add additional carbon dioxide to the environment.
This is because in its natural state as a tree, wood absorbs carbon dioxide that is in the atmosphere. During combustion, a balance is maintained.
