Wood is nature's renewable resource, a natural fuel that burns like no other. A wood fire is cozy. The radiant and convective heat from your Avalon insert warms you through and through.

When fossil fuels like heating oil are burned, carbon dioxide--the gas responsible for the greenhouse effect--is released into the atmosphere. But when wood is burned, it's part of a natural cycle: A tree absorbs carbon dioxide as it grows; when a tree falls into decay or is burned as firewood, the carbon dioxide is released and gets absorbed again by other young trees. By practicing sustainable wood energy use and keeping our forests healthy, this cycle can be maintained virtually forever!

An open fireplace or antique stove may conjure fond memories, but they actually create pollution and yield very low energy efficiency. In contrast, our Avalon wood burning appliances are EPA cerfified and produce virtually no visible smoke or creosote. In fact, Avalon has been independently rated as the cleanest burning stove line in the world!
