A Wood-burning Appliance That’s Efficient & Environmentally-Friendly? Woodn’t It Be Nice?

Okay, puns aside, if you love a real wood fire and just wish your old, drafty fireplace were more efficient, less wasteful, and less environmentally harsh, we’ve got good news: things have changed.

Thanks to industry advancements in wood-burning technology, led by some of the top brands we carry here at Hearth, Heat & Home, you can have your cake and eat it too.

Today’s wood-burning appliances are easy to start, highly efficient, great at evenly distributing heat throughout your space, and capable of keeping the home fires burning for hours and hours, without much effort on your part.

Of course, you’ll still enjoy the full experience of stacking and storing wood, and you won’t have to throw out the fire-building lessons passed on in your family from generation to generation. You can still be the expert — these wood-burning appliances just make things a little bit easier on you.

Catalytic Or Non-Catalytic?

Depending on the brand, you may be able to choose from catalytic and non-catalytic wood-burning appliance options. What’s the difference?

Catalytic simply means that there’s a catalytic honeycomb that the smoke and gas pass through to benefit combustion, while non-catalytic simply means that the stove or insert doesn’t rely on a catalyst, but is instead built differently to enhance combustion. Feel free to ask us for more clarification when you stop in to see us.
