A wood stove can be a stunning and useful way to heat your home during cold winter nights. Contrary to open fireplaces, today's wood stoves burn cleaner and require less firewood than their predecessors.

How to Choose a Stove

A wood stove can not only provide an inviting atmosphere to your home during those cold southeast NY winter nights, but it can also provide essential heating during a power failure. To pick the right stove for you it is important to think about the following factors.

The efficiency ratings of stoves are also vital. The higher the rating the more efficiently a stove will use wood to generate heat. A high-efficiency wood-burning stove will use less wood to produce the same amount of heat, reducing fuel costs and the amount of ash.

It is also important to select the correct type of wood. Only use seasoned, clean-cut wood that has been properly seasoned and stacked to increase the moisture content of the wood and prevent it from releasing harmful gases while it burns. Wood that is not seasoned will release dense black smoke. This is a sign that the wood is not burning properly. It could also contain dangerous insects or sap or fungus.
