Wood Burning Stoves For Sale
Wood stoves are a beautiful and efficient method of heating your home. They are available in a wide variety of styles that can fit in with any style.
If you live in a smoke-control area you should select the wood stove that is EPA certified. These stoves are able to meet strict emission standards to limit harmful particulates and pollutants.
Catalytic and Non-Catalytic
Wood stoves are designed to burn wood logs in a controlled way to produce heat. These units can be powered by hard wood and soft wood, and are a better heating alternative to an open fireplace. They can reach a high level efficiency, up to 80% as opposed to 15-20% for an open fireplace. They also use less fuel, reducing the carbon footprint of your home.
EPA regulations establish an obligatory smoke emissions limit of 4.1 grams per hour (for catalytic stoves) and 7.5 grams/h (for non-catalytical stoves). Over time manufacturers have developed combustion technologies to meet these standards.
Catalytic stoves use catalysts, typically made of palladium or platinum which reduces the ignition temperature of the combustion gases. This ensures all gases are burned and results in a cleaner, less polluting burning. Due to their efficient combustion, these stoves can also last longer in the flame.
Modern non-catalytic wood stoves utilize baffles or stainless steel tubes to re-ignite the gases that are lingering and start secondary combustion. This reduces the amount of unburned gases that are sent through the chimney, and produces a more beautiful, active flame display. Non-catalytical stoves are easier to use and don't require a periodic cleaning or catalyst replacement.
Both catalytic and non-catalytic stoves can be used with venting systems that allow them to burn soft and hard wood with the same efficiency. Two options can help you get the most out of your wood, and also find the perfect wood-burning stove to fit your home.
