What Is a Wood Stove?
A wood stove is a heating appliance designed to produce indoor heat through wood combustion. Like fireplaces, wood stoves are designed to safely self-contain fire.
The primary difference between wood stoves and fireplaces is the way they are built.
- Fireplaces are constructed as a single structure, typically made of brick or stone.
- Wood stoves consist of multiple prefabricated components and are usually made from steel or cast iron with a glass panel opening.
Wood stoves consist of a firebox, a ventilation pipe (or flue), and a chimney. The firebox is the main compartment where the wood is burned. The ventilation pipe is a hollow pipe that connects the firebox to the chimney. The ventilation pipe releases smoke and draws in fresh air, which allows heat to permeate throughout the living space.
What Are the Benefits of a Wood Stove?
Wood stoves are charming, efficient, and growing in popularity. If you’re a homeowner with a specific interior design eye, a properly installed wood stove may be a better fit for your home than a traditional fireplace setup.
So, what are their big pros?
- Wood stoves are flexible in how they can be utilized within a personal space – they can be a perfect complement to a more traditional home or the finishing touch in a modern renovation.
- Wood stoves don’t rely on electricity, so you’ll still have heat, light, and comfort even during power outages or big storms.
- Wood stoves can be very cost-effective.
- Wood is a renewable fuel source and is a lot cheaper than oil, gas, and electric alternatives if you season your own.
- Since freestanding wood stoves have a ventilation flue pipe rather than a chimney, they offer flexibility in placement.
- You don’t have to have a chimney already installed in order to have a wood stove installed into your home.
Preparing for Your Wood Stove Installation
If you decide to proceed with purchasing a wood stove, don’t attempt to install it yourself. Most home fires involving wood stoves are the result of improper installation or operation.
Rather, hire SureGlow Stove and Chimney for your new wood stove installation needs and trust us to safely install your system according to guidelines provided by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Once you’ve found a place within your home with the correct clearance requirements, we’ll get the job done right, ensuring you can use your new heating system with the peace of mind you deserve.

How Do I Maintain a Wood Stove?
The best way to maintain your chimney is to be proactive about its care. Schedule annual inspections with our chimney service experts – if we can find issues or problems early on, they will be easier and less expensive to repair.
Keeping your wood stove working efficiently also requires regular cleaning. Leave the dirty work to us and schedule a cleaning with the SureGlow Stove and Chimney crew. You can book it at the same time as your annual inspection, knocking out two birds with one stone. We’d be happy to assist you!
A Few More Wood Stove Safety Tips…
- Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood.
- Do not dispose of ashes indoors. Ashes should only be thrown out into a metal container with a lid, then set outside to fully cool.
- Do not connect the wood stove’s vent to a fireplace chimney unless it has been converted for the sole use of the wood stove.
- Never burn anything other than wood in the wood stove (no trash, plastic, wrapping paper, paper plates, etc.).
- Have your wood stove inspected annually by a technician certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA).
- Install a carbon monoxide detector in the same room to alert you if carbon monoxide levels increase to unsafe levels.
Can I Install My Wood Stove Myself?
We advise against it. Most home fires originating as the result of a wood stove are due to botched installations. If the flue isn’t properly connected, you could be exposing your home to a possible carbon monoxide leak or structure fire.
When it comes down to it, you need access to proper tools and equipment, as well as the correct technical knowledge to tackle this type of project. It’s not safe to take shortcuts when it comes to the health and safety of your family.
