Easy Installation

If you choose to install a free-standing wood-burning stove, you should consult with your local building or planning department to learn about fire safety regulations in your particular area. You may require a permit to install your stove. For proper ventilation, you will also need to install either chimney or vent. The stove's manufacturer should have a clearance rating for the walls and floor surrounding the stove. This must be adhered to. To avoid indoor wood burning stove or fire damage the clearance should be three feet from any combustible material. You can put up an insulation layer to shield furniture and walls from direct contact with the wood stove's surface. It is also important to familiarize the inhabitants of your home with the fire escape procedures and periodically inspect your stove's installation to make sure it's safe.
You will also need to ensure that you have enough supply of well-seasoned wood. Dry firewood that has been seasoned has an average moisture content of less than 20 percent, making it the ideal fuel for wood stoves. If the wood is not sufficiently moist it won't burn as efficiently and can ignite.
Variable Design

Many new wood stoves have been certified by the EPA for their efficiency and emissions control. They utilize re-burn systems that remove byproducts of the combustion process and provide a cleaner burning fire for long hours of warmth. The close combustion system decreases the amount smoke in the space, which helps keep your home warm for longer.
Homeowners who want to improve their existing masonry hearth can discover freestanding wood stoves as a great option. They can be installed in any space without a chimney or other structural changes. They are ideal for adding a fireplace an existing home that does not have one.
A freestanding woodstove is installed using a direct vent system or a traditional fireplace. Direct vent models employ the two-wall system to vent. The outer vent wall lets in air from outside and the inside wall pushes out exhaust fumes, resulting in a clean and efficient installation. This type of stove does not lose heat through air circulation and is easy to maintain. It is an excellent alternative to a fireplace.
The traditional chimney systems may be a bit more complicated to install, but they are highly efficient in distributing heat throughout your home. They are often utilized in conjunction with a blower that pushes heated air into areas that would otherwise be difficult to access. They are available with an adjustable thermostat as well as remote control options to provide comfort and convenience.

Efficient Heating
Radiant heat is the ideal way to describe a freestanding wood heater. This heating appliance can heat up a large area without causing a house to blow up or wasting energy. These EPA-certified wood stoves offer a powerful supplemental heating source. They emit low emissions and high temperatures of combustion which minimize carbon monoxide and ash. They are an excellent choice in the event of burning restrictions, since they can still operate.
Since they don't depend on an existing chimney They can be put in rooms that would otherwise be difficult to heat using an ordinary fireplace or insert. They can be installed in basements or lower-level family rooms, for instance where the heat rises and warms the space. They can be used to heat smaller houses, if placed in a central spot in which heat rises naturally through walls.
The cost of wood stoves is also lower than gas-powered stoves. Wood stoves are available in different sizes to meet the heating requirements of different areas. They are also built with efficiency as a priority. Certain models have an application that allows you to set and monitor the optimal temperature of the room. This ensures that your wood-burning stove is always operating at its best.
Pellet stoves offer an alternative to wood-burning fireplaces. Instead of logs the stoves make use of small wood pellets, which are sold in 40-pound bags. The pellets are kept in a hopper, and fed by an electric auger. The stove then ignites the pellets using an internal fan that draws air for combustion, and exhaust fumes are pushed outside through an exhaust device. The blower can also be turned off if the fire is burning by itself. This is convenient for those who don't want to utilize supplemental heating.
Inserts and freestanding stoves are efficient as supplementary sources of heat but they don't provide the same amount of warmth as an in-floor heating system. Both require a power source to operate fans and other components that help distribute the heat. So if you are in an area where there are frequent power outages it is ideal to opt for an electric model that has backup electricity.
