Wood stoves can provide additional heat and create a rustic and cozy ambience in your home or cabin. Before you purchase a wood stove for your space make sure you know the requirements for ventilation and installation in addition to the type of fuel used and the heat output.
Modern wood stoves are EPA certified and adhere to strict emissions and energy efficiency standards in order to maximize heat output. However, older stoves may not be EPA-certified or feature less efficient combustion.
Cast Iron
Cast iron stoves are an excellent option if you're looking to have an old-world charm with durability and efficiency. Cast iron is more resistant to heat than steel, and has a high thermal retention rate. This means that the cast iron stove will hold warmth even after the fire has gone out. It is therefore a more energy-efficient alternative. Cast iron is also resistant to cracking, which makes it a fantastic option for those living in harsh weather conditions like snow or frigid winds. To avoid rusting, large wood burning stove must be maintained correctly.
The drawback of casting iron wood stoves is its weight. It is heavy and may be difficult to set up and move around. This can make it unsuitable for those with small spaces. Furthermore, it is fragile and can crack if subjected to rapid temperature changes. If you are willing to work hard but, a high quality cast iron stove will provide radiant and convection heating for your home for a long time.
For those looking for a contemporary green option should consider the catalytic wood burning stove. They make use of a palladium or platinum catalyst to ignite gasses at a lower temperature, which allows them to burn more efficiently and reduce the amount of creosote that escapes the stove into the air. This kind of stove has an efficiency rating up to 85 percent, which is higher than the older wood burning stoves. These stoves only allowed air to be blown above the fuel to increase combustion.
A wood pellet stove is another option. Pellet stoves use small pellets made from sawdust, wood chips, bark and other scrap that are melting and forming into pellets that are compacted. This is a much more convenient way to heat your home as you just fill the stove's automatic hopper with pellets and place it on fire. While this method of heating is a great choice for those who live in colder climates and don't want to deal with splitting and stacking wood, it is important to remember that a pellet stove requires electricity to run. This can cause problems during power outages and can add to the cost of energy.
Steel
Steel wood stoves have a high heat output, great combustion and a long burn time. These stoves can adapt to different conditions, including seasonal and environmental and can be controlled by height, climate and the type of fuel. These stoves are great for hunters, campers, and those who travel. A single stove can be used to cook and heat multiple campsites.

Energy Independence
Wood stoves run on wood as a renewable fuel. This means you're less dependent on big energy companies and their high costs for gas or electricity. Wood stoves can provide a kilowatt-hour of heat for a fraction of the cost of gas or electricity.
A wood stove is more secure than an open flame because it contains the flame and stops smoke from entering your living space. Smoke from an open fire can be a problem for homes and cause respiratory problems for people who have sensitive lungs. Wood burning stoves produce less dust than open fires. This can be a problem in cities with poor air quality.
Using a wood burner to heat your home will provide an eco-friendly and natural method to keep warm all winter long. Wood is a renewable energy source that produces less carbon dioxide than fossil fuels like oil and gas. It is also classified as carbon-neutral, meaning that the same amount of carbon dioxide is released when wood burns, just as it did in its natural state as it was a tree.
Many modern wood stoves have been designed to meet the high efficiency standards set by the new Ecodesign Regulation here in Europe. This means that they are more efficient, converting a greater proportion of the wood into heat than older models, making them more beneficial for our environment. Choosing a stove that is EPA certified and fuel-tested is a good option to ensure that it is of the highest standard.
Wooden stoves are not only beautiful and add an element of interest in a room, they can also promote family life by creating a relaxing environment that isn't influenced by technology such as computers or TV. Gathering around a fire is a wonderful experience for everyone and can promote conversation and socialisation, particularly with younger children who enjoy the sound of crackling logs and the warmth they radiate.
