Wood Stoves
A wood stove is an alternative-heating source
that provides low cost operation, heat when
the power goes out, and can add a pleasing
atmosphere to a room and/or patio. When shopping
around for a stove some features to consider
are:
- EPA certified stoves are more efficient and
environmentally friendly
- Pellet stoves use compacted wood scraps, which may be
easier for you to find and store, instead
of wood logs
- Catalytic stoves have a catalytic combustor
(like in a car) for
- cleaner operation by burning unused fuel
in the fire's smoke
- lower required temperature for burning wood
- Beside the traditional black iron exterior,
stoves can be found in colors and styles
to match most any decor
- A viewing window to watch the fire burn
- Chimineas offer heat and ambience to a patio
- The right heating capacity of the stove for
the room or area it is being
used
When buying a stove, don't forget the accessories
such as wood log carriers and storage units,
log tongs and pokers for adding wood to existing
fires, small shovels and ash carriers for
cleaning the stove. And always keep a fire extinguisher handy. |
