A common mistake
everyone makes is assuming that they can successfully choose a suitable stove by knowledge gained from past experience burning wood, by researching a brochure, and/or gathering information from the web. Another folly is to go on the advice of someone you trust who hasn’t had the benefit of what I prove by example in the showroom.
Learning by seeing is powerful. No statements are made without visual proof. There is not a hint of pressure to buy, although virtually everyone does. Here is a taste of what is demonstrated:
- Pellet stoves are a relatively poor choice. see
http://firesideonline.com/pellet.asp
- Lennox stoves are indestructible, and virtually maintenance free even if over-heated.
- Lennox fireplace inserts can be installed in a manner that retains much of the appearance
of the fireplace. (Ignore the brochure photos) Fireplace inserts now heat just as well as stoves
operating outside of the fireplace.
- Free standing Lennox stoves require no wall protection.
- Cast iron stoves are unethical to sell. These are the formerly trusted ‘Jotuls’, ‘Vermont
Castings’, ‘Harmons’, ‘Hearthstones’, etc. With flash combustion, most quickly & permanently
revert to less than half performance when non metal seams leak. This leaking was considered
normal in past years, and was then mostly solved with the now forbidden ‘stove pipe damper’.
Our live demo illustrates that the tiniest leak makes the stove operate at
a third (1/3) of what
the brochure promised. We also demonstrate why this leak is virtually unrepairable.
- Forbidden wood fuels, such as ‘pine’, can burn smoke free. (Pine/scrap wood is often free fuel)
- Smoke is seen burning through the self clean glass. Few ever need chimney cleanings.
- Smoke burning nearly doubles the burn duration.
- Smoke burning cuts the wood cost and handling in half.
- Large Lennox close clearance stoves take less floor space than many small size stoves.
- Large Lennox stoves don’t overheat small homes, but provide 12 hour burn times.
Conclusion:
Long burn times, half the wood and work, clean glass fire views, and six times the heating
economy of oil heat, all combine to make it convenient and likely the stove will be going 24/7.
This means the heat spreads out upstairs and to the far reaches of the home without
over heating the room the stove is in. Let this sink in, or call one (or more) of my 3200 happy
customers who were surprised and thrilled to learn this is true. Nothing about burning wood
is even close to the same as it was, especially with the one of a kind, Lennox stove.
Prices are steeply discounted. If ever found cheaper, you get a check in the mail for the difference.
