A wood-burning stove is an efficient heating appliance capable mainly of burning wood, usually wood-burning wood and/or biomass fuel, including sawdust bricks. Generally the appliance is made up of a sturdy metal closed box, often lined with fire brick, and at least one or several air controls. In some models, the air vent duct is built in to give the user more control over the fire. Usually a good quality wood-burning stove can last for decades.
The advantages of a wood-burning stove are that it gives more heat than other forms of heating and that it is clean. Also, there is less noise compared to other forms of heating. In addition, the user gets to control the amount of heat produced. A wood-burning stove, unlike gas or electric furnaces, requires no complex venting system. It is possible to heat only the area needed for cooking.
Many people use wood-burning stoves in their homes or on outdoor decks because it provides a cooler and warmer heat in a small space than other types of furnaces or fireplaces. For example, a wood-burning stove can produce the same temperature out of the same amount of fuel as an electric furnace. The user can adjust the temperature to the desired level, unlike electric stoves or fireplaces where a pilot light is needed to control the flame. Heaters can be used to supplement the main power source of the house.
Wood-burning stoves have different kinds of fuel used to produce heat; depending on the season, they can be made to burn more easily or less often.
