Wood Stoves
Wood stoves have been around in one form or another since 1735, heating our homes and cooking our meals. Modern stoves have become easier to use, more attractive and much more efficiant. Heating with wood can be an ecconomical alturnitive to most other fuels. Burning wood does take some knowledge and a little practice to be successful.

Pellet Stoves
A pellet stove is an appliance that burns compressed wood or biomass pellets to create a source of heat for residential and sometimes industrial spaces. By slowly feeding fuel from a storage container (hopper) into a burn-pot area, they create a constant flame that requires little to no physical adjustments.
Pellet stoves are a good alternative to burning wood. They require less work, the fuel is easier to handle and store, and is readily available thru many outlets. The cost of heating with pellets can be half that of oil and propane.
Gas Stoves
Gas stoves and fireplaces have become extremely popular in the last 10 years. There are literally hundreds of styles and sizes made, one of which is sure to fit any decor and budget. Gas stoves and fireplaces are designed to look like their wood burning counterparts, and modern design advancements have created simulated logs and flames that can’t be distinguished from the real thing. Gas fireplaces are not only pretty to look at - they can also provide an increased sense of heating security since they don’t need electricity to operate. You might not have to abandon your home the next time the power goes out during a winter storm.
