SmartBurn® the Eco - Friendly Chimney Flue Cleaning product which reduces wood smoke emissions as it cleans.

SmartBurn is a scientifically proven product which prevents up to 50% of smoke haze and particulate emissions from entering the atmosphere from domestic wood combustion heaters, wood stoves and open fireplaces.

The multi Award winning SmartBurn is a Chimney and Flue Cleaner. SmartBurn reduces the build-up of black soot and flammable sap in the chimney therefore reducing the risk of a fire inside the chimney.

Television News item - Click here to view SmartBurn reducing wood smoke emissions from a household Chimney flue

Smoke contains flammable sap and soot and should have been burnt in the fire.                                                   It is known that forty percent (40%) of the energy in wood is unburned gas released as wood smoke, so smoke is wasted energy, fuel that should have been burnt in the fire, so burn the smoke in the fire with a SmartBurn and get more value from your wood.

SmartBurn is simply placed flat and level in the firebox. When heated, the ingredient mix slowly vapourises from both ends of the casing which then acts like a catalyst on the smoke, flammable sap and black soot in the fire. This process improves the combustion efficiency, resulting in a hotter fire and a clean heater glass window. This improved combustion enables the fire to burn up to 17% hotter. 

The simplicity and benefits of SmartBurn were featured on Better Homes & Gardens National Television:

As each SmartBurn prevents approximately 15 kg of smoke haze and particulate emissions from a wood fire during its life of about 3 months, has enabled wood heater households Australia-wide to prevent an estimated 1043 tonnes of smoke particles from entering our atmosphere. This is greater than the volume of an Olympic sized swimming pool. Householders are currently preventing about 340 tonnes per year by using SmartBurns in their wood fires.Our objective is to prevent 16,000 tonnes per year of wood smoke emissions from the 1.1 million wood heaters in Australia and 340 tonnes from the 23,000 new wood heaters sold each year.

SmartBurn is environmentally friendly and is probably Australia's most awarded invention by gaining 65 National, State and Regional Awards because "it does what it says it does".                                        SmartBurn was the National Winner for The Best Eco-Friendly Product Award in Australia in 2009.

SmartBurn contains a mixture of non-toxic natural ingredients and for best results SmartBurn should be replaced every 3 months. Click here to view a few valuable tips on getting the best results from your SmartBurn.

SmartBurn is very effective in wood combustion heaters, lounge open fireplaces and kitchen stoves.
