Thoreau wrote of the stumps which he pulled out from his field at Walden Pond: "They warmed me twice, once while I was splitting them and again when they were on the fire." The following is dedicated to helping folks who heat with wood prevent an inadvertent third warming.

Far too few consumers know just how important it is to choose a stove of the right capacity for the area to be heated. After all, wood heaters are anything but inexpensive in these days of energy consciousness, and financial pressures often force many folks to opt for a small unit . . . a decision which can lead to overfiring.
Porter's staff of professionals can help you determine the correct size of woodstove for your needs.


And, since the generally recognized safety standards for wood stove installation are based upon normal operating temperatures (with comfortable margins for error), it's possible for an overheated firebox to ignite walls or other flammable materials which are beyond the "safe" perimeter. (Did you know, for example, that sustained temperatures of slightly over 200°F can actually cause wood to combust spontaneously?)

On the other hand, some shoppers buy top-of-the-line models . . . assuming that a large stove will provide them with heat in reserve. Unfortunately, although the dangers of an underfired heater are less obvious than those of an overfired one, they are equally serious.
Since most owners of large stoves will often reduce the output of their heaters by restricting the air supply with a damper—a technique that reduces burn efficiency, makes more smoke, and forms creosote rapidly—buying a stove that's too large for your needs can be the indirect cause of chimney fires.
Again, let Porter's professional staff help you get the correct wood stove, insert, or fireplace for your particular needs

 

 


You should also clean the chimney before firing up your wood-burner if there's any significant creosote accumulation at all. Most experts agree that a layer of more than 1/4 inch of the black goo constitutes both a fire hazard and a hindrance to efficient drafting. Either call a local sweep or read up on the techniques and do the job yourself.
Porter's carries all the equipment you will need!
