Wood and Pellet Stoves

Wood Burning

A growing awareness of the environmental impact of fossil fuels (such as natural gas, oil and coal) along with the desire to be more energy independent have encouraged a renewed interest in heating with wood.
Heating with wood can be both satisfying and economical. It requires special care right from the beginning. We can help you make the right choice for your home. Click here for more information on choosing a wood-burning stove.

 

Pellet Stoves

Pellet stoves are probably the easiest wood burning stoves to operate. Typically, they only need to be loaded with wood pellets once every one or two days. Loading the pellets is a matter of pulling out the hopper and pouring the pellets from the bag into it. Pellet stoves do not produce any smoke, so you will never have to worry about "smoking out" a room. The exterior of the stove is also rather safe in a home setting. There is virtually no external heat on the outside of the stove as it is burning. Because of this, you can place the stove as close as 1 inch away from the wall, plus it makes it safe for homes with children and pets.  To learn more about pellet & wood burning stoves and to see various models, come in to Picone Stone & Fireplace today.
