subject: Here Are A Few Wood Burning Stove Accessories To Consider [print this page] This winter you decided to go with a wood burning stove. And now that you have your stove, you want some accessories to go with it to provide easier and more enjoyable handling. Many accessories are out there on the market for wood burning stoves, so we will just talk about the ones which are absolutely necessary.
Basket's And Log Carriers
With a traditional stove that burns logs, it will be vital to have a means of transportation to get those logs inside as well as means to store them. These are both great utilities to help you move more logs at once without straining yourself too badly. Each of the carriers and storage compartments will be made out of different materials and vary in size and shape. The wicker basket is probably our top choice however. Not only is it stylish, it also does both transporting and storing. The wicker design goes great with any small cottage or country home.
The metal carriers will give a more industrial look and tend to be much tougher. Keep in mind how well each type of carrier will go with your house's style.
A Good Thermometer
It is vital to have a thermometer for your wood stove. Not only will it help keep you safe, it will also make sure your stove is burning efficiently. This type of thermometer hooks onto the stove top or up on the stovepipe.
Steamers and Kettles For Your Wood Burning Stove
Part of having a wood burning stove is having great a authentic feel as well as enjoying yourself. How much fun would it be to have a kettle that you could use to make old-style popcorn. Or perhaps instead of using a humidifier, you could save money and simply poor water into a kettle. With just a small amount of potpourri added to your new low-tech humidifier, you have a wondrous fragrance fill your house.
Porcelain covered kettles are the best choice when you go to shop for them thanks to how well they can resist rust. If you plan on using your stove to do a lot of cooking, a trivet will be a great idea as well. Trivets will basically protect your stove top from any rust spots that may develop due to the usage of steamers and kettles.
Wood stoves will not only save you a bit of money in the long run, but they are also quite the decor to add to your house. Having accessories for your wood stove will keep your stove running safe, more efficiently, and most of all it will keep things fun and interesting.
