Wood Burning Accessories
Over a period of the last ten years there has been an explosion of technology in wood burning appliances and wood burning accessories to go with those appliances. There are new wood burning stoves and pellet burning stoves. There are new wood burning fireplace inserts and new fireplaces built to be energy efficient. Along with all of these new appliances there are wood burning accessories to go along with them.
Lots of Wood Burning Accessories
For wood burning stoves the list of wood burning accessories is a long one. There are circulating fans which can be used to move the warm area from the wood burning stove through out the rest of the room. There are even fans designed to move the heat from one room to another and some fans that will move the heat through the ducts in a home so that the heat can be more evenly spread throughout the entire home.
There are also wood burning accessories that are meant to sit on the stove and be used, such as kettles and steamers. Kettles are designed to be used as any normal kettle would – to heat water for tea or other uses. Steamers are also used to heat water but these wood burning accessories heat the water so that it will humidify the air around the stove. Often burning wood will dry out the air surrounding the stove so a steamer helps put the humidity back into the air and make it more comfortable to be in the room.
There are also other wood burning accessories such as pipe shams which are designed to decorate the stove pipe, pipe thermometers which allow you to keep track of the heat going into the stove pipe and hearth pads that sit under the stove and insulate the floor so that it does not get to hot.
Pellet stoves are a little different from wood stoves but most of the same wood burning accessories are used with pellet stoves as are used with wood stoves. In addition there are some accessories that are specifically designed for pellet stoves. Pellet buckets are one of the handiest wood burning accessories on the list since they allow you to easily handle the pellets when loading them into the stove and they also provide a decorative touch as well.
Remote control thermostats are another of the wood burning accessories that are used with pellet stoves because pellet stoves typically have built in thermostats and it is handy to be able to control the thermostats from across the room.
Other handy wood burning accessories include stove screens and fireplace screens used to create a protective barrier and cleaning accessories such as stove pipe brushes and fireplace tools. All in all there the list continues to grow when it comes to wood burning accessories.
