How to Choose a Wood Burning Stove for Your Home

What do you do when it comes to choosing a wood burning stove for your home? There are several questions that you will need to ask yourself. How you answer these questions is essential. This will determine whether you are able to install a wood-burner in your home. Moreover, you will see what type will work best. Here are the questions and some short answers:

  • How much space do you have from the stove to the nearest flammable material? Depending on the stove, you will want between 36” and 48” of clearance on all sides from the stove to flammable materials. You will need to set it up on a non-flammable floor. You can reduce those clearances in some direction by installing non-flammable wall finishes as well.
  • Do you favor a traditional cast-iron design or a more modern sheet metal design? Besides personal preferences, the various designs will determine how much clearance space you will need. Sheet metal designs, in general, tend to allow for lesser clearance space than do cast-iron designs.
  • How large of a space do you intend to heat? The rule of thumb is 40 to 45 BTUs per square foot of area that needs heating. Divide the BTU rating of the stove by 40. Then, do it again by 45 in order to get the average area the stove will heat.
  • Will the stove be your primary heating source or a secondary heating source? If the stove will be your primary heating source, you will want to follow the above specs pretty closely. If it will be secondary, a smaller, lower-rated stove can help. You can thus reduce heating costs by allowing your central unit to run less.
  • Can you handle the fuel supply and the cleanup of your stove? A major deciding factor will be whether or not you have the equipment and access to wood fuel to burn in your stove. However, there is one greatest decision you will need to commit to. And this is related to the cleanup of your stove and the area around it.

Thinking through the questions and their answers will help you a lot. You can determine whether installing a wood burning stove in your house is something that you are able to do. However, it will also help you decide on which size and model of a stove to choose.
