Choosing the right fuel is very important when getting ready for the heating season with your Ecco Stove. The Ecco Stove is designed to burn wood and smokeless fuels and due to its efficient burn can also burn wood in a smokeless zone (DEFRA exempt).

Ecco Stoves prime fuel is wood logs which we hope are largely sourced locally to the installation. many other renewable fuels are imported from out of country (America, Eastern Europe etc); have then to be transported for chipping, pelletising or kiln drying which in our opinion carries a very high carbon footprint. 

Wood logs sourced locally significantly reduce such carbon production and of course are wholly renewable as a tree burned on the Ecco Stove produces less carbon to atmosphere than a tree felled or fallen rotting on the forest floor. 

Biomass fuel is a generic term used to describe material that has come from living or recently living organisms. The most common being wood (logs), wood pellets, wood chips, Peat, manure, crops and other scrap timber. Biomass is an important step in maintaining our environment as it is low carbon or is carbon neutral in its emissions, which creates a closed carbon cycle.
