There are a lot of benefits to adding a wood stove to your home. When you are planning on installing a stove, there are a lot of options for the installation. You may want to have an over feature, space for storing wood, or a simple and modern design. Here are a few things that will help you with choosing the right options to add a wood stove to your home:
Location for the Stove
Before you can get started, the stove needs to have a safe location to be installed. The best option is to install wood-burning stoves in existing fireplace openings. If you don’t have an available fireplace, there are also options for models that come with their own iron base to make them safer. Even if your stove has an iron base, you will still want to have more fire-resistant finishes around the areas where the stove is installed. In addition, any flammable materials like curtains and furniture should be a safe distance from the stove.
Stove Size Options
The size of the stove you choose for your home is also important. There are a lot of different options for the size and shape of the stove. With wood-burning stoves, the options for the sizes are determined by a standardized numbering of the models. For example, the Woolly Mammoth 7 Stove is the largest in its series, but there are also options like NO5. The smaller choices may be good if you need a model that will fit in an existing fireplace or opening where you plan on installing the stove.
Extra Features for Stoves
There are extra features that you may want for your stove. Some of these features can include things like an oven, wood storage, and ash drawer. Ask your dealer about options for the different models and extra features that can be added to them. There are also options like longer legs that can be added to your stove to adapt it to your needs and the area you plan to install.
Choosing the Stove Finishes
Today, there are also options for the type of finishes for wood-burning stoves. If you want to have a more modern look that matches your interior design, powder-coated finishes with colors are available for your stove. There are also options for traditional looks with plain black finishes. All the finishes of stoves are heat-resistant, and they will usually last the life of your new stove.
The installation of a new wood-burning stove can be a great investment to keep your home warm. Contact a dealer to get a Woolly Mammoth 7 Stove for your home.
