A Small Wood Burner Brings Warmth and Character to Your Living Space A small wood stove will bring the warmth and character of any room. It can also be used to cook, particularly in the event you select one with an option for stovetop cooking. Larger wood stoves burn more efficiently when the draft is lowered and produce more creosote. The Louis stove was designed to be portable, and is suitable for caravans and yurts. Cooking Cooking on an unassuming wood-burning stove is among the many pleasures associated with having one. This can provide a very genuine sense of pride, care and enjoyment, as well as an opportunity to escape from the fast-paced nature of modern life for a while.

This will lessen the accumulation of creosote that could cause chimney problems if not burnt properly. Hardwoods like oak and ash are suggested because they produce long coals that release heat slowly over time. The baffles on your stove can be opened or closed to regulate airflow. This allows you to create the perfect fire for toasting bread as well as slow simmering soups and casseroles and ensuring the most efficient combustion. It is recommended to learn about your stove and experiment with opening the baffles and closing them at various points to determine what settings provide the best results for a specific task. It is also an excellent idea to buy trivets that are designed to sit on top of your stove. This will prevent the kettle from drying out when you leave the stove. This is a common error made when using a log burner for the first time! It's also an excellent idea to buy an oven kettle that has an integrated whistle, which can be very beneficial for those who like an easy cup of coffee or tea.

You could also buy kiln dried logs, which are already cut and packaged and easy to carry and store. You should also make sure that your wood stove is size to the space you intend to put it in. A wood stove that is too large could cause smaller fires that result in more creosote. This will limit the amount of heat produced.
