How They Work
Wood stoves are an excellent option to heat your home. They can be utilized as a primary or secondary heating source, and they add an element of style that makes any space feel more welcoming and warm. The wood burning stoves create a controlled environment that allows the fire to burn more efficiently and produce heat.

This is a key element in the efficiency of a stove as a fire which smolders too long will deplete energy and heat into the atmosphere. Modern wood stoves can help reduce this by directing air into the firebox in several different directions to keep the fire burning.
A lot of modern wood stoves make use of a catalytic combustor in order to aid in the process of getting the most efficient performance. This is a metal piece typically in a circular shape, that is placed at the top of the wood stove where the flue pipe is attached. It resembles a beehive and has pores where the combustion gases are stored. These gases are then burned again to release more heat at lower temperatures.
Other features that are found in many modern wood stoves include air bypass chambers. These are large flaps within the interior of the firebox that can be opened to redirect the flue gases around the catalyst during initialization.
