Wood burning stoves have become highly efficient over the years and are still in demand. Every time gas prices rise more people are turning to wood heat. The cost of heating with wood is relatively inexpensive. The cost of buying and installing a wood stove can be the same or slightly higher than buying a new furnace. Where the savings comes in is in the cost of operation. Even if you purchase firewood the cost is much less expensive than heating with oil, propane or natural gas. What makes a wood stove more efficient?
A wood burning stove is called a stove because it allows you to slowly cook the firewood. That's right cook the wood! Once the stove is heated to temperature you are able to close the air controls down to minimum intake and close the damper to minimum output of smoke. Some stoves that have catalytic combustors allow the smoke to be channeled through them when the damper is closed down. When the catalytic combustor heats up to an average internal temperature of 1100 degrees it re-burns the smoke output producing less smoke in the air and more heat in your stove. More heat for your stove and a slowed down air intake allows the firewood to slowly cook down to a fine white powder rather than just burning it in a fireplace, loosing heat up the chimney and having a pile of coals and as left over.
