Wood stoves can be a great way to add warmth to your home--both in the literal and the metaphorical sense. We had a wood stove when I was growing up, and some of my favorite memories are of winter afternoons spent lying on the rug next to the stove, reading a book. Wood stoves are a cheap, efficient way of heating your home and can also be used for cooking.

Finding Vermont Castings Wood Stoves

Vermont Castings is a trusted brand that has been building durable wood stoves for decades. The company now offers a full range of gas stoves as well, which are comparable in features to the wood stoves and require quite a bit less maintenance. But for the traditionalists among us (and I have to consider myself one of them), nothing beats a real wood stove.

Vermont Castings holds the distinction of being the only stove manufacturer in North America that has both their foundry and enameling operations under one roof. This allows the company to closely supervise the coordination of these two main steps in their production process. The result is a high-quality product that is both beautiful to look at and extremely efficient and functional.

Another neat feature of Vermont Castings wood stoves is their special ceramic glass fronts. Ceramic glass is a special type of glass that conducts heat more efficiently. This allows the heat from the stove to transmit more easily into your room, sending more heat out where you need it.
