Types of Wood-burning Appliances
Wood Stoves
Wood stoves are free-standing units made of steel or cast iron. They provide strong radiant heat and are known for their durability. Modern stoves are built to burn wood efficiently, producing more heat with less smoke. They are ideal for living rooms, basements, workshops, and cabins.
Wood Fireplaces
Wood fireplaces can be installed as built-in units within a wall or as inserts placed into an existing masonry fireplace. They offer the traditional look of a real flame while meeting modern efficiency standards. Many models include glass doors and controlled air systems for safer and cleaner burning.
Wood Fireplace Inserts
If you already have a masonry fireplace, a wood insert can improve heat output and reduce heat loss. Inserts are sealed units that fit into the existing opening and vent through a liner system. This option is often more efficient than an open fireplace.
