Wood-burning stoves have become very popular for a number of reasons: There is a huge selection of cost-effective, high-quality stoves available, which are straightforward to install (a chimney is almost all that is needed) and to use. Stoves heat up quickly (ideal for those who work and only want to heat their homes in the evening), but can also be used for constant heating. Some models have optional water heaters as a backup for other heating systems. Some also include baking and warming ovens. You can take your stove with you when you move house.
