Wood Stoves
|
Firewood continues to be one of our most plentiful, easily obtainable and cheapest energy alternatives and the Federal Environmental Protection Agency's regulations on pollution from wood burning stoves have revolutionized the wood stove industry. Today's high-tech, non-catalytic combustion technology exceeds standards only dreamed of merely twenty years ago.
A properly sized and installed wood burning stove can provide a consistent heat output over a period of more than eight hours, usually with no visible smoke. Creosote buildup and chimney fires can be a thing of the past. Wood stoves can use standard masonry chimneys, but also factory-built metal chimneys that can be installed in a wide variety of locations where a masonry chimney is not feasible. High efficiency heat exchange means that some wood burning stoves require very little space for safe installation and can be installed within inches of a combustible material. And nothing can improve on the looks of a real wood fire.
