Wood Stove

A wood stove is an enclosed freestanding heating appliance constructed from cast iron or steel that burns wood logs to generate substantial radiant and convective heat. Unlike open fireplaces, the enclosed design of a wood stove captures and radiates significantly more heat energy into the room, with modern EPA-certified models achieving efficiency ratings that far exceed traditional open hearths. Wood stoves have a long history as primary home heating sources and remain popular for their powerful warmth and rustic charm. Modern wood stoves incorporate advanced combustion technology including secondary burn systems and catalytic converters that dramatically reduce emissions while extracting maximum heat from every log. Available in a wide range of sizes and styles from traditional cast iron designs to contemporary steel models, wood stoves can complement virtually any interior aesthetic. Their freestanding nature allows flexible room placement, and many models feature glass doors that offer an unobstructed view of the fire.
