Regular wood burning stoves can be made much more efficient and easier to manage by the addition of a Wood stove insert. Wood stove inserts fit into almost all of the insides of a regular, 'open' fireplace. A wood stove insert is traditionally comprised of an inner wall which allows the hot air to pass through, making the system closed and efficient and an outer shell that allows you to enjoy the sight of the fire and logs.
Usually, wood stove inserts have glass doors. This gives you the advantage of being able to insert wood easily and enjoying the look of the fire when you're sitting in front of your fireplace. By closing the heating system, a wood stove insert makes things much more efficient. A wood stove insert keeps more of the escaping heat that would normally be lost by a regular 'open' fireplace.
If you use a wood stove for heating, a wood stove insert will save you a lot of money and give you more heat by being more efficient. The insert will also spread the heat to a much wider area. Installing a wood stove insert makes you wood stove cleaner and easier to manage than a regular fireplace.
By having the inner wall, heat loss that is usually incurred by the outside of fireplace walls is greatly diminished. A wood stove insert centers heat into the stove itself, making the wood burning process much more efficient by warming up the right area. Many wood stove inserts are equipped with small and quiet electric fans. These make sure that hot air is circulated into the surrounding area.
By having a glass door in front of the fireplace opening, you reduce the draft that you normally feel when you have an open fireplace. It keeps the area around your fireplace cleaner too, because smoke and ashes can't leave the closed system that is created by the wood stove insert.
The cleaning part is made much easier to by a wood stove insert. Because of the flat bottom that wood stove inserts have, it is much easier to scoop up the remains of the fire (like ashes). Wood stove inserts are designed very attractively these days and they provide a whole array of benefits. - 15252
