Benefits of Wood-Burning Systems
Why do many homeowners opt for a wood-burning system over a more convenient gas option?
Ambiance
When it comes to deciding on a fuel type, there’s no denying the wood options tend to win out in terms of ambiance. As realistic as gas systems are getting, it’s hard to replace the genuine smells and sounds of a crackling wood fire.
There’s just something about the act of building up flames and adding wood logs throughout the evening that invites a classic and timeless atmosphere.
If that’s the overall feel you’re hoping to create with your fireplace, then going with a traditional wood option would be the best route for you.
Cheap, Renewable Fuel
Wood is a cheap fuel that’s easy to access. No setting up gas lines or worrying about gas leaks… just have a pile of logs nearby that’s seasoned and ready to go, and you’re all set for the rest of the evening.
And if you have a property where you can season and store your own wood, even better! With a little effort on your end, you won’t have to purchase fuel or worry about running out anytime soon.
Reliable Resource
Some fireplace options require electricity to operate, but wood fireplaces will always offer a reliable heat source in the event of a power outage. That means when your lights and heating system fail you, you’ll still have somewhere to turn for warmth and comfort. You can even use it to cook food if needed.
Wood Fireplace or Wood Insert? What’s the Difference?
The choice between a wood fireplace and a wood insert depends on your specific needs and preferences.
A wood fireplace is a more traditional option, but it’s also more open, which can result in more heat lost up the chimney.
A wood insert is a closed-off option designed to fit into your existing fireplace. It’s more efficient than a traditional fireplace and is designed to send more heat into your living space. Wood inserts also tend to produce less smoke and are better for the environment due to their high efficiency levels.
In the end, if you already have an existing fireplace and want to increase its efficiency, a wood insert may be a better option. If you’re aiming to prioritize ambiance and aesthetics over heat output, though, a traditional wood fireplace would be the better fit.
