Wood is the traditional fuel for supplementary heating. Avalon woodstoves and inserts produce lots of warm, soothing heat and the large viewing glass allows an ever-changing display of glowing coals and dancing flames. Several of our woodstoves have a convenient cooking surface, a benefit that should not be overlooked when severe weather knocks out the power.
The advantages of wood are: Independence from utilities if the power goes out; an efficient, low cost fuel; extremely low particulate emissions that help protect winter air quality; and burning wood actually reduces the impact on global warming because firewood is carbon neutral.
