Which are the best wood burning fireplace inserts for Canada?
We have occasional power outages over winter because of the area we live in having so many woodlands we're prone to being affected by falling branches and trees taking the powerlines out. In our new home we want to put a contemporary wood burning fireplace insert into a reasonably-sized chimney that can really pump out the heat, yet do so very cleanly. What should we look out for and are there any Canadian wood burning fireplace manufacturers you can suggest that make a solid yet high heat output and clean burning product? Thanks!
The things to look for when choosing the right wood burning stove includes finding the highest rated wood stove, or at least an EPA certified wood stove. An efficient wood burning stove saves wood as it burns wood more completely, and there are less emissions. That means less splitting and stacking of firewood, and less time loading the fire. You may also find that this helps keep a fire burning overnight so you still have a bed of coals in the morning for an easier light.
