Wood is the traditional fuel for stoves and fireplaces which creates a hot and cheerful fire. Wood also provides the ambiance of an ever-changing pattern of flames and glowing embers. The fireplace with it’s attractive glow has always been the warmth of the home, the place where family and friends gather for fellowship and building memories.

Wood is a near perfect fuel source in that each year it renews itself. Forest product companies have proven this by effective management and reforestation. The harvesting of overgrown forests not only provides fuel for woodstoves, it promotes the growth of healthy trees that absorb three times as much carbon dioxide as is released when wood burns. Wood burning fireplace inserts and stoves are comforting, economical and environmentally friendly. Today, wood stoves produce a low-cost heat that helps protect the air quality.

Many wood stoves have the capacity to heat an entire house (if a house has good internal air flow).

The heat levels can be easily maintained, for even extended periods of time, with little experience.
