wood-burning stoves
Timber-fueled home warmers
Wood-burning stoves are enclosed heating appliances that burn logs or other wood fuel, venting smoke through a chimney or flue.
Unlike open fireplaces, they contain the fire within a metal or cast-iron chamber, making them more efficient at heating a room: We installed a wood-burning stove in the cabin.
They remain popular in rural areas and as backup heat sources.
