Why efficiency is so important.

Over the life of a wood stove (let's say 15 years for example) Investing in Kuma's efficient Hybrid wood stove Technology would save you nearly $2,000 in fuel costs, which is equal to 23,000 lbs of wood that you do not need to chop, stack and haul into the house.  We do not like to "beef" with other manufacturers but it is important to note that there are some stove makers in the industry that are spreading misleading information about which technology is superior.  So if you like to crunch numbers, you can compare the fuel costs and burn time comparison below.  We compared our new hybrid technology to a leading Canadian manufacturer's non-hybrid technology.  All of the data is taken from official EPA test reports:
