2.3 THEBENEFITSOFLOWEMISSIONSANDHIGHEFFICIENCY
The low smoke emissions produced by the special features inside the Enerzone Solution 3.4
firebox mean that your household will release up  to 90 percent less smoke into the  outside
environmentthanifyouusedanolderconventionalwoodfire.Butthereismoretotheemission

Thesmokereleasedfromwoodwhenitisheatedcontainsabouthalfoftheenergycontentofthe

insteadofwastingitassmokeupthefluesystem.Also,thefeatures
insidethefireboxallowyouto
