Blaze King Woodstoves Are
Eco-Friendly
Global warming is a serious
concern. The effects of climate change are obvious almost
anywhere you look. At Blaze King Industries, we take these and
other environmental issues very seriously. That's been true
since we first opened our doors for business in 1977, long
before climate issues were a daily headline.
More recently, reports by the United Nations estimate that from
1990-2004, greenhouse emissions in the United States increased
16%. As of 2005, the U.S. generated more carbon dioxide from
burning fossil fuels than any other country in the world.
The EPA defines fossil fuels as any fuel that the Earth forms
from plant or animal remains, including oil, oil shale, tar
sand, natural gas, peat, and coal. When burned, fossil fuels
release carbon that otherwise wouldn't be released into the
atmosphere.
Wood is not a fossil fuel. Wood is biomass and when burned,
doesn't release any more carbon dioxide than would occur
naturally if left to rot in the forest. When wood is burned by a
Blaze King hearth appliance, the number of particulates and
gasses released into the air is far less than would occur during
a forest fire. In fact, burning wood in a Blaze King high
efficiency stove is carbon neutral. That means buying carbon
credits to use your Blaze King wood stove isn't necessary. Don't
expect to have to pay any carbon taxes on it in the future,
either.
Unfortunately, not every wood stove on the market is highly
efficient, and none are more efficient than a Blaze King
catalytic appliance. Since 1988, the EPA has regulated
particulate emissions from wood heaters. The limit is 7.5 grams
per hour for non-catalytic appliances, and 4.1 grams per hour
for catalytic appliances. Washington States emission standards
are even stricter than the EPA's.
So how do Blaze King Hearth appliances rate? Our wood
burning stoves are more efficient than what the EPA and
Washington State require!
Environmental responsibility is important to us at Blaze King
Industries. We understand that building quality products doesn't
mean we have to sacrifice the environment in the process. That's
been our mission since day one. We've led the industry in
developing emissions-reducing technology and quality products,
and well continue to do so.
Think
eco-friendly. Think Blaze King.
Nothing says Quality like a Blaze King!
It is Our Desire to give YOU the Best Products Possible.
