The biggest advantage homeowners have with a wood burning stove is the quality of heat the burner will give off. Wood stoves operate on the principal of radiant heat, which warms an area faster and more efficiently than warm air being blown through a home’s vent system.

Fitted in a central position in your home you will be amazed how the rest of your house suddenly gets a whole lot warmer.
