Having a wood stove is great, not only for heating your house but also for an alternative cooking method when utilities are down.\u00a0 Woodstoves can save a lot of money on heating bills, even compared to fireplaces.\u00a0 But having a woodstove alone won\u2019t offer you the same benefits that you could have if you also have the right accessories to go along with your woodstove.\u00a0 Here are a few examples that could really help you out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Flu Damper<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Having a flu damper will allow you to control the flow of the heated gasses coming out of your woodstove.\u00a0 This will give you much more control of the temperature and burn rate.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Stove Top Thermometer<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      A stove top thermometer will let you know if you are burning too cold, too hot, or just right.\u00a0 This is not only important for efficiency, but also for safety.\u00a0 Burning too cold will increase creosote build up, burning too hot will increase the risk of chimney fire and will deteriorate your stove much faster.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Thermal Activated Fan<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        This accessory isn\u2019t cheap, they run about $100.\u00a0 But with a thermal activated fan on your stove top, you can have a whole house of hot air without adding to your electric bill or creating a draft.\u00a0 They require no power other than the heat from your stove, and they will spread the hot air around your home.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Indoor Wood Storage<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Whether you have a purely utilitarian version, or something more decorative, you are going to want to be able to store at least enough kindling and wood for one fire indoors.\u00a0 If all your wood is outside it can get damp in bad weather and you will need to go out in the cold to get it when you need it most.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          If you have a woodstove without any of these accessories you are missing out on the full benefits to be had from this great device.<\/p>\n
