There is no form of home heating that is more traditional than a wood stove. And what counld be more natural? There is a growing understanding of the long-term environmental impact of burning fossil fuels like natural gas, oil and coal for energy and with our long cold winters people have real concerns about energy independence.

There was a time not all that long ago that the best wood stoves produced a haze that signified energy inefficiency. But things have changed. Advances in stove design have produced more energy efficient and much more environmentally friendly woodstoves.

Wood Stoves are part of a natural cycle. Once burned, fossil fuels are gone forever, but wood is different. As plants grow, they absorb carbon dioxide and convert it into air. When they die, either left to rot in the forest or burned, that carbon dioxide is released back into the environment. It's all part of a natural cycle that has been in place since the beginning.
