Modern log burners are capable of reaching up to an 80% efficiency. This means that up to 80% of the energy stored in logs can be converted into heat. Modern log burners burn wood more efficiently. This is due to a combination of improved design and premium quality logs that have been dried to strict standards. The improved combustion levels mean that less wood is needed to generate the same amount of heat, which in turn reduces harmful emissions.
