The Advantages of Wood Stove Burning

Wood stoves are a great option to warm your home and keep it cozy. However, there are certain things to bear in mind before you begin an fire.

All wood stoves require constant air flow to produce heat and combustion. The air flow is controlled by dampers in the stove door and the flue pipe leading to the chimney.

Warmth

In contrast to central heating, which is pumped through ductwork, and spread throughout the home stoves use convection to warm your home. They can also provide radiant heat, however this can be colder than a convection heater since the heat is stored by a solid object instead of being dispersed into the air. A wood stove burns firewood to produce radiant warmth that can bring lots of warmth to a room in a relatively short amount of time.
