Types of Wood Burning Stoves and Fireplaces

Interested in a wood-burning heating appliance? You have more options than you may think. There are several types that people use to heat their home—either as a primary heat source, as supplemental heat or for ambiance.

• Wood Stoves: Relatively inexpensive, wood-burning stoves are easy on the eyes and can be used for heating small to medium-sized areas of a home. Plus, they have a history of providing safe and practical warmth that dates back many centuries. Wood stoves have lots of advantages, including the fact that they are safe and attractive; can be used to heat an entire house; are clean burning; and don’t harm the environment. At Hudson Chimney, we sell quality wood stoves from Regency, Hampton, and Vermont Castings.
• Wood-Burning Fireplace: There are two major types of wood-burning fireplaces. Masonry fireplaces are built on site and made of brick or stone, while “low mass” fireplaces are engineered and pre-fabricated prior to installation. Neither of these kinds of fireplaces can be used as a primary source of heat; instead they are primarily used for ambiance and secondary heating. If you’re looking to add a wood-burning fireplace to your home, we sell both Heatilator and Regency fireplaces.
• Wood Stove Inserts: Wood-burning stove inserts fit inside of existing fireplaces. Wood stove inserts make fireplaces much more efficient than an open fireplace because less heat escapes through the masonry and chimney. Wood stove inserts also give fireplaces more heating efficiency, allowing them to spread more heat to a bigger area. Fireplaces with wood stove inserts are far easier to clean and manage than open fireplaces.
