wood stoves
Log-burning indoor furnaces
Wood stoves are heating appliances that burn wood to warm indoor spaces.
Unlike open fireplaces, they're enclosed metal units that radiate heat more efficiently and control combustion through adjustable vents.
Modern versions meet emissions standards, while older models are prized for their cast-iron craftsmanship: The cabin had a wood stove for heat.
Also spelled as one word: woodstoves.
