Gas Stoves

Gas is a convenient, labor-free fuel. Just set a thermostat or press a button and your fire instantly appears. Recent break-throughs in burner technology now provide a fire so much like a wood fire that even experts must look closely to see the difference! Even though gas is not the bargain it once was, it is still an abundant and widely available fuel, and it is still an economical means of heating, especially for zone heating where only one or two rooms are heated. Propane (LP) gas is an ideal fuel for rural homes, so you are not limited by natural gas service areas. Gas appliances also will operate even if the power goes out.

Freestanding stoves provide the most versatility in placement within a home. Generally freestanding stoves are vented straight up using manufactured steel chimney pipe, but they can also have an elbow to direct the chimney horizontally through a wall or into a masonry chimney. A freestanding stove can also sit on the hearth of a masonry fireplace and be vented up the chimney. Freestanding wood stoves require a hearth pad for floor protection. Freestanding stoves have the benefit of radiating heat from all sides, as well as having natural and fan assisted convection. Some of the Avalon and Lopi freestanding stoves also offer a convenient cooking surface, another source of comfort when the power goes out!
