wood stove inserts
Wood stove inserts are designed to transform and retrofit older, open fireplaces from inefficient, decorative appliances into highly-efficient systems that can heat large areas of your home. Unlike fireplaces that are installed ‘into’ a wall, inserts must have an existing fireplace to be placed inside. Traditionally, a significant portion of the body of a wood stove insert would sit out onto the hearth, however they are more commonly designed to have the door sit flush with the opening of the fireplace. Wood inserts are a great source of efficient, cost-effective supplemental heat and can serve as a great source of backup heat when the power goes out. As with all hearth appliances, the ceramic glass in the door radiates the largest percentage of heat into the room. Additional heat is available from a heat-circulating blower system. The best way to quantify the size of a wood stove insert is by the size of the firebox. Modern wood stoves are much more efficient than those of the 1980’s, so they have a smaller firebox. Firebox volumes ranges from about 1.3 cubic feet up to 3.5 cubic feet. The length of log that the firebox can accommodate ranges from about 16” up to 24”.
