Wood stove inserts are an addition to regular wood burning stoves. They fit into almost all of the insides of a regular, 'open' fireplace. The traditional design of a wood stove insert is that it is comprised of an outer shell that allows you to see the fire and logs, and an inner wall which allows the hot air to pass through, making the system closed and efficient.
Most wood stove inserts have glass doors that can be opened to insert wood and allow you to see the fire. Wood stove inserts make things more efficient, as they keep more of the escaping heat that would normally be lost by a regular 'open' fireplace.
If you decide to go with a wood stove, this decision will save you a lot of money. It will also give you a lot more heat because of increased efficiency. Not only that, the insert will also spread heat to a much wider area. It just makes your fireplace a lot easier to manage.
Heat loss is diminished to a great extent by reducing the heat that is normally lost through the outside fireplace walls. The wood stove insert centers heat inside the stove, thereby making the burning process of the wood stove much more efficient by warming up the area intended to be heated. Usually, a wood stove insert will have a small, quiet electric fan to make sure that the hot air is circulated into the surrounding area.
Having a glass door in front of your fireplace eliminates feelings of draft you may experience when having an open fireplace. And by having a glass door, ashes and smoke are always kept inside the stove. They will never mess up your living room.
The cleaning part is made much easier to by a wood stove insert. Because of the flat bottom that wood stove inserts have, it is much easier to scoop up the remains of the fire (like ashes). Wood stove inserts are designed very attractively these days and they provide a whole array of benefits.
