Enchanted Fireside - Stoves

Pellet

Cast iron stoves are a classic symbol of New England, melting the chill off a snowy winter day. Yet, old wood stoves (built before 1992) actually waste firewood, pollute the air in your neighborhood, and create dust inside your home.

As living greener lifestyles and reducing our impact on the environment has increased in importance to homeowners, awareness and usage of a time tested approach to renewable home energy – heating with pelletized fuel – has gained in popularity. Generally made from recycled wood byproducts, pellets are a cost stable, low carbon fuel that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions when used as an alternative to fossil fuels.

This is especially attractive in New England – a region of the country heavily dependant on and subject to the volatility in prices of oil fuel. Here, heating with wood pellets has moved solidly into the mainstream of the New England lifestyle over the past decade. In addition, pellet stoves are easier to operate and maintain than wood stoves, provide more consistent, thermostatically-controlled heat, and produce less ash to clean and dispose. Enchanted Fireside offers high-performance pellet-burning stoves in classic cast iron, soapstone, steel, and also in more sleek, contemporary styles to accommodate and complement any décor.

There’s a lot to consider when you choose to install a pellet stove in your home. Is your challenge to heat a very large space, or is this for small zone heating? Is space at a premium, requiring a small footprint? Which location in your home will result in the best performance? Which stoves will really take the least amount of space – especially after observing clearances (minimum distances required to combustible materials) as tested by each manufacturer for each stove model?

Enchanted Fireside offers wood stoves in classic cast iron, heat-absorbing soapstone, and maintenance-free steel, along with the expertise to help you make the best choices, ensure your installation will perform as expected, conform to all applicable building codes (yes, a building permit is required), and observe the manufacturer specifications. With our healthy respect for fire, we can help to make sure your stove and installation choices are safe and your enjoyment of your wood stove makes you warm & happy.
