Whether you are an old hand at wood burning or a novice looking for your first hearth appliance, you will be impressed by today's woodstoves and what they offer. Design innovations and advances in technology have created a new generation of appliances that are safer, more efficient and easier to use than ever imaginable a few decades ago.

Today's EPA-certified clean burning stoves benefit from years of combustion engineering and research. Wood burning appliances tested and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency are required to burn 85 percent cleaner than conventional stoves manufactured before the mid-1980s. A conventional stove's emission level was over 40 grams per hour, while today�s stoves burn at an average emissions level of just six grams of particulate per hour.

In order to obtain these high standards, all of today's appliances use one of two unique technologies -- catalytic or non-catalytic. Simply stated, catalytic appliances use one or more catalytic combustors coated with platinum or palladium to reduce the ignition temperature of smoke, while non-catalytic appliances manipulate the air flow within the fire box to help ignite gases. These new design innovations provide longer burn times without reloading, heftier efficiencies with 25-33 percent less fuel and reduce flammable creosote by 90 percent.

A wood stove can be vented through the ceiling and roof or exit out a side wall and go up the side of the house. They can also be installed into an existing masonry fireplace to increase the efficiency.

With an array of porcelain enamel color choices, woodstoves today are not only heaters but also a fine piece of furniture. Visit our showroom to see for yourself!
