Heating Homes by Burning Wood Fuel

Wood fuel is again gaining favour as more homeowners turn to heating their homes with wood. In the past couple of decades woodstoves endured much scrutiny from the public and safety officials and the market demand slowed. But the ice storm in eastern Canada and Y2K fears are enforcing the dependability of heating with wood. In a culture so independent, we have suddenly realized how dependent we really are on centralized energy systems.

Wood Stoves Popular Again

This change of thought has shown in sales of wood stoves in recent years. In the last several years gas stoves have been the choice for 80% of the customers, but recently 50% of the stoves sold now are wood stoves. Fears of Y2K power outages are driving the demand, but people also have recognized the comfort and warmth of the wood stove as an comfortable home heating system. (Choose Movie)

Firelogs Make Wood Heating Easy

Now with the production of a new firelog from Home Fire Prest Logs, families can enjoy the warmth of a wood fire without the mess. "The logs burn longer, do not spark and pop due to the controlled moisture content and the burn about 4 times as hot as cord wood," says manufacturer Glenn Hermanson. "People who try our logs find they do not fall apart during the burn and with the flat side they do not roll out of the fireplace. In fact, most people who try our logs won't go back to any other log."
