Modern wood stoves help to reduce this by directing air into the firebox in a variety of directions to keep the fire burning.
Many modern wood stoves use combustion chambers that catalyze to help achieve maximum efficiency. This is a metal piece typically in a circular shape, which is positioned at the top of the wood stove where the flue pipe is attached. portable wood burning stove looks like a metal beehive and has pores in which the combustion gases are stored. The gases are then re-burned to release more heat at lower temperatures.
